A high-growth advanced technology team in the UAE is expanding, and we are hiring multiple Senior Technical Project Managers to lead complex engineering programmes from early-stage R&D; through to industrialisation, production and deployment.
About the Role
This is a hands-on technical delivery role for people who can operate confidently across engineering, suppliers, manufacturing and senior stakeholders.

- Lead programmes through:
- R&D; and concept development
- System design and engineering
- Prototype build and integration
- Testing, verification and validation
- Industrialisation and manufacturing readiness
- Production scale-up and operational deployment
- Own: Budget, schedule, risk and overall delivery
- Multidisciplinary engineering teams across hardware, software, electronics, controls and mechanical systems
- Manage suppliers, procurement and external technical partners
- Technical dependencies, design reviews and programme milestones
- The transition from prototype into repeatable, production-ready delivery

Required Skills
- Strong experience in technical project or programme management

This is not an enterprise IT, ERP, business applications or digital transformation PM role. Pure software or infrastructure delivery without a physical systems component is not a fit.
If you’ve built your career around turning complex technology into something that can be tested, manufactured and deployed, this is a strong opportunity to join a growing team in the UAE.
