Head of Renewable Construction Program (Wind, Solar and Storage)

About the role

A state-backed clean energy and data centre platform based in Oman is recruiting a Head of Renewable Construction Program to lead construction delivery across its large portfolio of wind, solar and battery storage projects. This is a programme role, not a single project: you take projects from the development team, set the contracting strategy and own them through permitting, construction and commissioning to completion, while building the team and delivery model that lets several projects run at once.

Key responsibilities

• 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.
• Maintain a zero-harm safety standard and meet lender and environmental requirements during construction.
• Build and lead a regional team of project, site and controls professionals, developing local talent.

Required profile

• Utility-scale wind, solar and battery storage projects personally led through construction to completion; experience across all three is central to the role.
• Leadership of a multi-project programme or portfolio, not just a single site.
• 12 or more years in power or infrastructure delivery, at project director or construction director level or above.
• Experience delivering in international markets such as the Gulf, Central Asia, Africa or Latin America.
• Experience on both the owner and contractor side is an advantage; Arabic is an advantage.

Required skills

• EPC contract management under FIDIC or similar, including variations, claims and liquidated damages.
• HV grid connection and lender experience.
• Fluent English.

The application process is handled confidentially by the recruiter, who can be contacted directly.
