  • Business Development & Market Growth

  • Support the development and growth of Strategic Asset Management and condition assessment services as a key service offering and revenue stream in the Middle East.

  • Identify emerging client needs and market opportunities, supporting proposals, client engagement and the development of innovative service solutions.

  • Help strengthen WSP’s market position by bringing global SAM capability together with a strong understanding of the Middle East built-environment sector.

  • Project & Technical Delivery

  • Lead and take accountability for the condition assessment elements of Strategic Asset Management projects within Property & Buildings.

  • Oversee surveys and technical assessments to establish asset condition, performance, risk and future investment requirements, while identifying opportunities for subsequent engineering and advisory services.

  • Mobilise the appropriate multidisciplinary expertise from across WSP to create effective project teams and ensure high-quality delivery.

  • Ensure assessments, recommendations and deliverables are technically robust, practical and aligned with relevant industry standards and regulatory requirements.

  • Translate technical findings into clear, actionable recommendations that support clients’ asset management, capital planning and investment decisions.

  • Client Engagement & Advisory

  • Build trusted relationships with stakeholders at all levels, from C-suite executives and asset owners to technical and facilities management teams.

  • Advise senior client leadership on the value, application and implementation of Strategic Asset Management.

  • Present complex technical and asset information in a clear, commercially relevant manner to support informed decision-making.

  • Act as a trusted adviser, building client confidence in WSP’s approach and identifying opportunities to develop long-term strategic relationships.

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities, with the curiosity and confidence to address complex, non-routine challenges where each project may require a different approach.
  • A mature, solutions-oriented “can-do” mindset, combining initiative and adaptability with sound professional judgement.
  • Strong business development and commercial acumen, with a track record of developing client relationships, identifying opportunities and supporting the growth of new or developing service lines.
  • Excellent client-facing and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to engage confidently with stakeholders ranging from technical and facilities teams through to senior executives and C-suite leadership.
