Guildhall has been exclusively retained by a major international infrastructure expanding is establishing its operation in the United Arab Emirates. This is a country-leadership role: Responsible for developing the organisation, delivering the first projects, and positioning the company for a substantial regional programme over the years that follows.
It is a rare mandate. The company is well established, which means the person who takes this seat sets the standard — the team, the government relationships, the delivery model — rather than inheriting them. It suits someone who has run a country or a major programme before and wants to build the next one from the ground up.
We are handling this search on a retained, confidential basis. The company will be named to shortlisted candidates under NDA.
What you will own
- Building and leading the UAE organisation across delivery, operations, engineering, supply chain and commercial functions
- Owning the relationship with the road and transport authority, the municipality, the utilities and other government stakeholders — approvals, permitting and NOCs
- Delivering the first major project on programme and on budget
- Setting the delivery and operating model for the expansion that follows
- Identifying and securing land, sites and commercial arrangements needed for the programme
- Representing the company to shareholders, partners and government at the most senior level
What you will bring
- 15+ years in infrastructure, tunnelling, metro, heavy civil or large-scale construction, with time as the accountable leader of a programme of USD 500m or more
- A track record of dealing directly with Gulf government authorities at director level and getting approvals over the line
- Experience running a country or regional P&L, and building a team from an early stage
- A delivery background — you came up through projects and sites, not solely through an office
- Exposure to land, concession or commercial deal-making alongside construction is a strong advantage
- Available to be resident in Dubai
The kind of person this is for
This is a hands-on, fast-moving culture, not a corporate one. The company values people who make decisions, stay close to the work, and move quickly. It will suit someone who wants ownership and pace over hierarchy and process.
