Project Controls Scheduler – Yanbu Saudi Arabia
Since 1976, Parsons has served the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu as their program management, master planning, design, engineering and construction management consultant for the Yanbu Industrial City on the Red Sea north of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. This is the longest running contract in Parsons' history and reflects the strong client/consultant partnership that has evolved through the years. Our responsibilities are similar to that of a Public Works Department of a US municipality. We assist in long-range strategic and master planning, project initiation, the hiring and management of design consultants, tendering for construction and oversight of all construction projects. These projects range through the full spectrum of infrastructure and facilities that would be expected in a city of 80,000+ population - roads and utilities, residences, schools, health care facilities, police and fire stations, colleges, public buildings, sport facilities and retail centers.
With over one hundred forty current employees in Yanbu, we are always looking for dynamic new key staff members that are up for the challenge of a foreign assignment in a remote location. The initial contract term for new members of the team is 24 months with one year extensions dependent upon performance and on-going needs.
