Drakken is looking for an experienced Project Manager to join our team in Dubai and take ownership of complex engineering and energy projects from kick-off through successful delivery.

This isn't a role where you'll simply track timelines and update project plans. You'll be at the center of execution: leading multidisciplinary teams, working directly with clients, managing suppliers and subcontractors, controlling budgets and schedules, and making sure projects are delivered safely, commercially and to the standard our clients expect.

You'll typically lead teams of 5-20 people and act as the primary point of accountability for your projects.

If you're comfortable taking ownership, making decisions and bringing structure to complex technical environments, we'd like to hear from you.

About Drakken

Drakken is an international oil & gas services company specializing in electrical, automation, and instrumentation solutions for the energy sector.

Our teams deliver projects in demanding environments around the world—from deserts to deepwater. We combine engineering expertise, project management and hands-on execution to help our clients deliver complex projects efficiently, safely and reliably.

At the heart of Drakken is a simple ambition: find a better way for the world to execute projects. We challenge the status quo, continuously improve how we work, and bring together great people across our international teams.

What you'll do

As Project Manager, you'll own the successful delivery of your projects across the full lifecycle. You'll have the autonomy to lead while working closely with clients, engineering teams, contractors, and Drakken's wider international organization.

You will:

• Lead multidisciplinary project teams and create clear accountability across the project.
• Own project execution from kick-off through completion, ensuring delivery on time, on budget and to client expectations.
• Build strong client relationships and act as the primary point of contact throughout the project.
• Coordinate with client representatives across engineering, drafting, construction and commercial activities.
• Select, contract and manage suppliers and subcontractors.
• Lead project kick-off, progress and stakeholder meetings.
• Develop and manage project schedules, budgets, forecasts and project controls.
• Track progress, costs, risks, changes and overall project performance.
• Manage change orders, invoicing and commercial project administration.
• Maintain accurate project documentation, drawings, correspondence and records.
• Develop practical processes and procedures that improve project execution.
• Support Business Development with proposals, estimates and project input when required.
• Ensure Drakken's quality management standards are embedded throughout project delivery.
• Champion safe working practices and ensure compliance with applicable Health & Safety requirements.
• These responsibilities reflect the end-to-end project, commercial, quality and safety ownership outlined in the existing role.
