• Establishing and managing interface tools including Interface Register, Interface Matrix, Scope Delineation and Interface Agreement Forms for all contracts and disciplines.

• Identifying, categorizing, and tracking all interface points between infrastructure packages (roads, utilities, buildings, transportation, ITS, etc.) and external stakeholders (authorities, operators, third parties).

• Coordinating and chairing regular interface coordination meetings between contractors, consultants, and client, ensuring timely resolution of interface issues and clear action ownership.

• Defining and implementing escalation paths for interface conflicts, including technical and contractual escalation to Parsons management and client leadership when required.

• Reviewing and validating contractors’ interface-related drawings, method statements, and programmes to ensure alignment at tie-in points, corridors, and shared assets.

• Managing interface dependencies and constraints to minimize rework, claims, and delays, ensuring full alignment between design, construction, testing, and commissioning activities.

• Supporting change management and claims avoidance by providing interface impact assessments and recommendations to Parsons PMC and the client.

Logistics Management

• Developing and overseeing the Project Logistics Plan covering materials delivery, site access, laydown areas, traffic management, temporary facilities, and construction sequencing.

• Coordinating logistics across multiple contractors to optimize use of corridors, access roads, storage areas, and cranes/equipment, avoiding conflicts and unsafe conditions.

• Working with contractors to plan and schedule material deliveries, heavy transport, and critical lifts, ensuring compliance with local authority regulations and project HSSE requirements.

• Monitoring and managing logistics KPIs (delivery performance, congestion, utilization, etc.) using PMIS and other tools and proposing corrective actions where needed.

• Ensuring integration of logistics plans with interface constraints, utility diversions, and phased handovers, particularly in live or sensitive operational environments.

Stakeholder & Authority Coordination

• Acting as a focal point for coordination with relevant authorities and stakeholders (e.g. municipal entities, utility providers, transport authorities, operators), especially at physical and operational interface points.

• Supporting approvals and permits related to interfaces and logistics (road closures, diversions, utility connections, working windows, etc.).

• Ensuring clear communication of interface requirements to all stakeholders, including constraints affecting operations, safety, and public impact.

PMIS, Reporting & Documentation

• Maintaining interface and logistics data in the project PMIS (e.g. Aconex or equivalent), ensuring accurate and up-to-date records, action tracking, and document control.

• Preparing periodic interface and logistics status reports, dashboards, and KPIs for Parsons PMC and client management.

• Recording, maintaining, and updating interface agreements, minutes of meetings, decisions, and approvals to ensure traceability and auditability.

HSSE & Compliance

• Ensuring all interface and logistics activities comply with project HSSE requirements, local regulations, and Parsons PMC procedures.

• Identifying and helping mitigate interface-related HSSE risks (e.g. conflicting work fronts, traffic management, simultaneous operations, live utilities).

• Promoting a proactive safety culture among contractors in relation to logistics, access, and interfaces.

What Required Skills You'll Bring:

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

• More than 15 years of experience in large-scale infrastructure, utilities, or industrial projects; experience in KSA/GCC is highly preferred.

• Proven experience in interface management and logistics coordination on major multi-contractor projects; PMC experience is an advantage.

• Strong understanding of infrastructure utilities (potable/fire water, irrigation, MV/LV, telecom, drainage, GRP, etc.) and their coordination in shared corridors.

• Demonstrated capability in preparing and managing interface documentation and logistics plans.

• Experience with PMIS platforms (e.g. Aconex) and strong reporting/documentation skills.

• Familiarity with relevant KSA standards, authority requirements, and permitting processes.

What Desired Skills You'll Bring:

• Excellent coordination, communication, and stakeholder management skills.

• Strong problem-solving and conflict resolution abilities.

• Ability to manage multiple interfaces and priorities under time and schedule pressure.

• High level of organization and attention to detail.
