Job Description:

Parsons is seeking an experienced and technically proficient Interface Manager to join the Program Management Office (PMO) team for a landmark project based on a remote location on the western coast of Saudi Arabia, with intermittent travel to Riyadh.

The primary mandate of this role is to manage, monitor, and formally control all project interfaces—technical, physical, and contractual—between multiple design packages, construction contractors, client entities, and external stakeholders. The Manager will be crucial in ensuring seamless integration and alignment, operating strictly within the PMO's established governance framework.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Interface Governance: Develop, implement, and maintain the Project-specific Interface Management Plan (IMP), procedures, and protocols in strict accordance with PMO standards.

• Identification & Documentation: Lead the identification, documentation, and continuous update of the Master Interface Register (MIR) and Interface Control Documents (ICDs) across all project disciplines (Civil, Structural, MEP, Systems, etc.).

• Conflict Resolution: Proactively identify and track potential interface conflicts and dependencies that impact the schedule or scope. Facilitate and lead technical working groups and coordination meetings to drive timely resolution.

• Cross-Contract Alignment: Coordinate and ensure alignment of technical and logistical dependencies between the General Contractors (GCs), multiple design consultants, and internal project teams.

• Stakeholder Liaison: Act as a central point of contact for interface inquiries, coordinating responses and ensuring clear communication flow between the construction teams, client representatives, and necessary regulatory authorities in KSA.

• Reporting & Metrics: Prepare and present regular, data-driven interface status reports, logs, and dashboards for the PMO leadership, highlighting critical interface risks, resolution status, and schedule impacts.

• System Integrity: Ensure the consistent and accurate use of the project's dedicated Interface Management System (IMS) for all documentation and tracking.

What Required Skills You'll Bring:

• Skills: Exceptional communication, negotiation, and conflict resolution skills. Proficient with dedicated Interface Management software (e.g., Coreworx, BIM platforms, etc.).

• Regional Experience: Prior experience working on complex projects in the Middle East, ideally in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), with an understanding of local regulatory processes.

What Desired Skills You'll Bring:

• Experience: Minimum of 15 years of progressive experience in Project Management, Design Coordination, or Interface Management on large-scale infrastructure, transport, or complex building projects.

• PMO Familiarity: Proven experience operating within a highly structured Project Management Office (PMO) or Program Management Consultant (PMC) environment.

• Technical Knowledge: Strong understanding of multidisciplinary construction workflows and the ability to interpret complex engineering drawings and contractual scope boundaries.

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, or related field).
