ABOUT US
With roots going back more than 50 years, Bin Omairah is a Saudi-based conglomerate offering a diversified portfolio of products and services, including infrastructure solutions on a Design & Build (D&B) and EPC basis, development and co-investment in real estate and renewables, and the manufacturing of renewable technologies.
As the Group continues to grow locally and regionally, we seek capable engineering professionals who can contribute to the delivery of high-quality, technically sound solutions across our business segments and projects throughout the MENA region.
JOB SUMMARY
The Technical Design Engineer contributes to the development, coordination, and technical assurance of engineering design deliverables across infrastructure, roads, and structural / superstructure projects. The role translates project requirements into coordinated design solutions through engineering calculations, drawings, specifications, technical reports, and design reviews. The position works closely with multidisciplinary teams, project stakeholders, and external consultants to ensure that design outputs are safe, buildable, compliant, accurate, and delivered in line with the approved scope and programme.
MAIN DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES
- Review project briefs, employer requirements, scope documents, surveys, geotechnical information, and other design inputs to establish the applicable design criteria and deliverables.
- Develop and / or review engineering design solutions for infrastructure, roads, utilities, and structural / superstructure works in line with the assigned project discipline.
- Prepare, check, and coordinate engineering calculations, design reports, drawings, models, and technical specifications through concept, preliminary, detailed, and construction / IFC stages.
- Apply relevant Saudi, international, client, and authority codes, standards, and technical requirements throughout the design process.
- Produce and review road and infrastructure design outputs, including alignments, profiles, grading, drainage, utility interfaces, and associated details, where applicable.
- Undertake or review structural analysis and design for applicable structural and superstructure elements, ensuring technical adequacy and consistency of design assumptions.
- Coordinate design interfaces with other disciplines, including architecture, structures, roads, utilities, MEP, and specialist systems, to achieve integrated design packages.
- Prepare and maintain design deliverable schedules, drawing registers, document revisions, technical submittals, and design records to ensure traceability and controlled issue.
- Carry out design checks and interdisciplinary reviews to identify errors, omissions, clashes, constructability concerns, and deviations before formal submission.
- Respond to and resolve technical comments, requests for information, and design queries raised by clients, consultants, authorities, and internal project teams.
- Review specialist designer, consultant, supplier, and subcontractor design submissions for compliance with project requirements and approved design criteria.
- Coordinate with Project Management, Planning, Procurement, Quality, and Construction teams to confirm design interfaces, material requirements, buildability, and technical constraints.
- Assess proposed design changes and value-engineering alternatives, identifying their technical implications and potential effects on scope, cost, schedule, quality, and risk.
- Support tendering and estimation activities by providing design clarifications, technical inputs, preliminary quantities, and relevant engineering documentation.
- Identify design risks and technical gaps, recommend mitigation measures, and escalate issues that may affect safety, compliance, performance, or project delivery.
- Monitor assigned design activities against agreed milestones and communicate progress, constraints, and required decisions to the responsible design lead.
- Ensure design deliverables are complete, coordinated, appropriately checked, and issued to the authorised stakeholders at the required revision and stage.
- Capture design lessons learned and support the continuous improvement of engineering standards, templates, workflows, and technical practices.
REQUIREMENTS
Essential
- Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline.
- 5 to 8 years of relevant engineering experience, with hands-on exposure to civil design engineering and preparation / review of design deliverables.
- Practical experience in infrastructure and roads design, together with exposure to structural / superstructure design projects.
- Good knowledge of engineering design principles, calculations, technical drawings, specifications, and applicable codes and standards.
- Proficiency in AutoCAD and Civil 3D; working knowledge of relevant discipline-specific design / analysis tools is expected.
- Ability to coordinate technical interfaces, review design outputs, resolve engineering issues, and work effectively with multidisciplinary teams.
- Very good communication, technical reporting, presentation, and problem-solving skills.
Desirable
- Experience with BIM / Revit or other model-based engineering coordination workflows.
- Experience using Microsoft Dynamics 365 (D365) or another ERP platform to retrieve project or business information.
- Proficiency in Arabic and experience working in a multicultural environment.
