Candidates must be degree qualified and have at least 10 years experience covering traffic and highway engineering. You must have the ability to provide direction to engineers, technicians, and administrators, and have extensive knowledge of engineering practices, calculations, design details, engineering standards, and specifications. The ability to multi-task and work under pressure, often to aggressive deadlines, is essential. Strong communication skills are also needed, and you should be outgoing and assertive.

You must be able to :-

1)  Assist in the Traffic Safety Engineering work and develop safety index program for the local Municipality.

2)  Assist the Road Directorate to analyse accident data to identify the black spots of high crash rates in order to develop road safety remedial measures and monitor the road network.

3)  Reassess and evaluate progress in implementing the Strategic Safety Plan and be involved in all day-to-day road safety activities within the Province.

4)  Provide a strategic safety input into all urban planning activities proposed for the cities.

5)  Produce periodic (quarterly) progress reports to the technical group and the Safety council and produce a detailed annual report of the accident situation of the Province.

6)  Assist in establishing an updated and uniform approach for designing roads, with a particular emphasis on providing a ‘forgiving’ roadside.

7)  Assist the department in co-ordinating the work of the technical working group at a senior level from all the stakeholders to improve road safety.

8)  Assist in the Introduction of measures within the development planning process that ensures adequate and safe provision of facilities for all road users, particularly pedestrians, and ensures appropriately safe interface with the surrounding network.

11)  Provide technical support to the stakeholders in developing the Terms of Reference for the technical projects that need to be undertaken as part of the implementation process.

Previous experience of working in the Middle East is obviously desirable, but it's not essential, nor is there a need to speak Arabic.

The position is based in Dammam on the basis of a 12 month renewable contract. The position reports directly to a British General Manager.

The start date is a little flexible, but the requirement is quite urgent, so the sooner the better, subject to obtaining a suitable visa.

The tax free salary package (basic salary, accommodation and transportation allowance) is negotiable, but likely to be in the range of 32-37,000 SAR month (approximately £78-90,000 p.a.), plus air flights and medical insurance.
