Renewable Project Director: Utility-Scale Wind, Solar and Storage Construction
Muscat, Oman or project location | Permanent | On site

Capax Mundi is recruiting for a state-backed clean energy and data centre platform based in Oman. The business has a secured portfolio of utility-scale wind, solar and battery storage projects across several markets, with more coming through from development, and is building the construction delivery team that sits under its head of renewable construction programme.

As a project director you take your projects over from the development team and lead them through contracting, permitting, construction and commissioning to COD and handover to operations. You report to the programme head and own delivery on the ground: contractors, safety, quality, cost and schedule.

What you will do

• Lead delivery of a utility-scale renewable project, or a group of projects, from development handover to COD and handover to operations
• Manage EPC, OEM and balance of plant contractors against scope, specification, programme and budget, including variations, claims and LDs
• Obtain construction-stage permits and meet environmental, grid-connection and lender requirements through construction
• Own safety, quality, commissioning and performance testing on your projects, with a zero-harm standard on site
• Report schedule, cost and risk to the programme head through the programme office and its stage gates
• Build and lead your project, site and controls team, developing local talent

What you bring

• Utility-scale wind, solar or battery storage projects you have personally led through construction to COD, at project director or construction director level
• Experience across more than one of these technologies, or on hybrid plants, is an advantage
• EPC contract management under FIDIC or similar, plus HV substation and grid-connection delivery
• Experience of lender and lender's technical adviser requirements on project-financed projects
• Proven safety leadership on large construction sites
• Delivery in international markets such as the Gulf, Africa, Central Asia or Latin America; experience on both the owner and the contractor side is an advantage
• Fluent English; Arabic is an advantage
