## Job description

## Who we are

At Namaa, we build and operate tech-enabled urban infrastructure that gives consumers fast, reliable access to meals, groceries, and everyday essentials.

Traditional retail models, built around brick-and-mortar locations, often struggle to compete in today’s digital-first landscape. Challenges such as cost efficiency per square foot, logistics-optimized locations, and seamless technology integration have made it clear that a new approach is needed.

We believe the future of foodservice and commerce lies in purpose-built infrastructure designed for speed, accuracy, and scalability. That’s why Namaa was established—to power the next generation of digital food and quick commerce ecosystems across the Middle East.

Our ecosystem is driven by a portfolio of specialized business units, including KitchenPark, CloudRetail, and Profood Properties, each playing a key role in enabling brands to grow and thrive in an increasingly on-demand world.

## What you’ll do

- Oversee the construction, execution, and delivery, ensuring compliance with project specifications, timelines, and budgets.
- Manage and coordinate with contractors, consultants, and project teams to ensure smooth execution of works on-site.
- Monitor construction progress, identify risks, and implement corrective actions to mitigate delays and cost overruns.
- Ensure compliance with local and international building codes, safety regulations, and quality control standards.
- Lead site inspections, audits, and quality assurance checks, ensuring adherence to approved designs and specifications.
- Collaborate with the design and engineering teams to resolve technical issues and implement value engineering solutions.
- Oversee health, safety, and environmental (HSE) standards, ensuring a safe and compliant work environment.
- Manage project reporting, including progress updates, risk assessments, and resource planning.
- Review and approve contractor submittals, RFIs, change orders, and work schedules.
- Lead stakeholder meetings and ensure alignment of construction activities with project goals and client expectations.

## What we’re looking for

- Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field.
- 5-7 years of experience in construction management, with at least 3 years spent in Food & Beverage or restaurant construction
- Proven experience managing BOQ (Bill of Quantities) and costing across various scopes (e.g., Civil, Electrical, Plumbing, HVAC, Gas).
- Strong knowledge of construction methodologies, building codes, and industry standards.
- Hands-on experience in project planning, budgeting, risk management, and cost control.
- Excellent leadership and communication skills to manage large teams, contractors, and client interactions.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office or GoogleDocs, and construction management software.
- Experience with FIDIC contracts, project scheduling tools (Primavera P6, MS Project), and quality control processes.
- PMP or CCM certification is a plus.
- Fluency in English and Arabic is essential

## Why join us

- Demand for online food delivery is growing really fast! In the last 5 years, just in the US, the overall market has expanded 10X from $10B to $100B, and could expand to $500bn- $1T by 2030.
- Changing the restaurant industry: You’ll be part of a team that helps restaurants succeed in online food delivery.
- Collaborative environment: You will receive support and guidance from experienced colleagues and managers, helping you to learn, grow and achieve your goals, and you’ll work closely with other teams to ensure our customer’s success.

What else you need to know

This role is based in our Riyadh office location. As a company driven by innovation and continuous change, close collaboration is essential. We’re constantly reimagining our industry, creating new products, and refining our processes, and we do our best work together. That’s why all of our office-based teams work onsite, five days a week.

Ready to join us as we serve those who serve others?

## Competitive Advantages
- **Cross-stack vertical integration**: Controls sensors, compute, software, manufacturing, operations, real estate, energy, and infrastructure — a rare “full-stack” approach to physical AI.
- **Founder advantage**: Led by Travis Kalanick (Uber co-founder) who has deep experience scaling category-defining companies and attracting top engineering/operations talent.
- **Real-world deployment**: Robots with “real jobs” — not lab demos — deployed in working mines, kitchens, and transport systems today.

- International expansion with dedicated regional roles (APAC, LATAM, Europe)

## Why Work Here
- **High ownership**: “Take ownership early, and contribute from day one” — interns and new hires work on live products, not side projects.
