Head of Renewable Construction Program: Wind, Solar and Storage Delivery
Muscat, Oman | Permanent | On site

Capax Mundi is recruiting for a state-backed clean energy and data centre platform based in Oman. The business has a large secured portfolio of wind, solar and battery storage projects across several markets, with more coming through from development, and is looking for one person to lead construction delivery across all of it.

This is a programme role rather than a single project. You take each project over from the development team, set the contracting strategy and own it through permitting, construction and commissioning to COD and handover to operations, while building the team and delivery model that lets several projects run at once.

What you will do

• Take projects over from development and set the contracting strategy: EPC, multi-contract or hybrid
• Lead tendering, negotiation and award of EPC, OEM and balance of plant contracts, and manage them to completion
• Run the programme office: stage gates, integrated master schedule, budget, contingency and reporting to the executive team and board
• Direct contractors and OEMs across wind, solar, BESS and hybrid round-the-clock plants, including HV substations and grid connection
• Set and hold a zero-harm safety standard and meet lender and environmental requirements through construction
• Build and lead a regional team of project, site and controls professionals, developing local talent

What you bring

• Utility-scale wind, solar and battery storage projects you have personally led through construction to COD; experience across all three is the heart of the role
• Leadership of a multi-project programme or portfolio, not only a single site
• 12 or more years in power or infrastructure delivery, at project director or construction director level or above
• EPC contract management under FIDIC or similar, including variations, claims and LDs, plus HV grid connection and lender experience
• Delivery in international markets such as the Gulf, Central Asia, Africa or Latin America
• Experience on both the owner and the contractor side is an advantage; Arabic is an advantage
• Fluent English
