This full-time role involves leading and managing all Testing & Commissioning (T&C) activities for infrastructure, utilities, support facilities, and assets within the SILZ programme. The Manager will ensure all systems are commissioned safely, integrated effectively, and handed over in accordance with the Project Execution Plan, applicable aviation regulations, contractual requirements, and international best practices.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, implement, and manage the overall Testing & Commissioning Strategy, Commissioning Management Plan, Integrated Commissioning Schedule, and asset readiness programme across the project lifecycle.
• Act as the primary Testing & Commissioning representative for the PMCA, coordinating with SILZ, contractors, design consultants, operators, and end users to ensure successful delivery of all commissioning and handover activities.
• Coordinate all Testing & Commissioning activities with regulatory authorities and stakeholders, including SILZ, PMCA, Matarat, GACA, utility providers, and Civil Defence, to secure all necessary approvals, inspections, permits, certifications, and operational acceptance.
• Lead multidisciplinary commissioning for a wide range of systems, including civil infrastructure, roads, utility networks, buildings, MEP systems, ICT, ELV, security systems, SCADA, BMS, fire protection systems, pumping stations, substations, and other specialist airport support systems.
• Establish commissioning readiness gates, verify construction completion, monitor pre-commissioning activities, and oversee Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT), Site Acceptance Tests (SAT), Integrated Systems Testing (IST), performance testing, and operational trials prior to handover.
• Manage commissioning interfaces across multiple contractors and work packages, proactively resolving technical issues, deficiencies, punch lists, and commissioning constraints to minimize programme impacts and facilitate phased asset completion.
• Lead the preparation, verification, and acceptance of commissioning dossiers, O&M manuals, asset registers, warranties, as-built documentation, operator training, and handover packages to support Taking-Over Certificates (TOC), Operational Acceptance, and Final Completion.
• Ensure all Testing & Commissioning activities comply with project specifications, applicable Saudi Codes, GACA regulations, NFPA, IEC, ASHRAE, British Standards, manufacturer requirements, and international commissioning best practices. Provide regular commissioning progress reports, risk assessments, and performance dashboards.

• Minimum 15 years of professional experience in Testing & Commissioning of major infrastructure, airport, mixed-use, industrial, or mega development projects.
• Minimum 8 years in a senior leadership or managerial Testing & Commissioning role.
• Demonstrated experience managing commissioning for both horizontal infrastructure (roads, utilities, substations, pumping stations, ICT networks, utility corridors) and vertical buildings (commercial, aviation support, industrial, or institutional facilities).
