Executive Director - MMC and Knowledge Sharing - 20002020 CDU5
Role Purpose
The Executive Director – MMC & Delivery Learning Systems is responsible for institutionalising innovation and structured learning across the Qiddiya City Programme.
The role leads two strategic programme enablers:
- Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) – to enhance productivity, scalability, quality consistency, safety, and delivery predictability.
- Delivery Learning & Knowledge Systems – to reduce systemic repeat failures, accelerate decision-making, and embed institutional delivery intelligence across Business Units (BUs).
Operating at programme scale, the role ensures that Qiddiya moves from fragmented project-based execution toward structured, repeatable, and performance-driven delivery systems.
Strategic Mandate
A. Modern Methods of Construction (MMC)
- Define and steer Qiddiya’s MMC ambition, roadmap, and governance framework.
- Identify scalable MMC opportunities across asset typologies.
- Establish standards, decision pathways, and adoption frameworks to enable BU implementation.
- Align with Procurement and Supply Chain to support manufacturing agreements and market feasibility.
- Translate pilot outcomes into institutionalised standards and repeatable playbooks.
- Monitor measurable impact on cost, schedule, quality, HSE, and sustainability performance.
The role does not replace BU delivery accountability; it enables structured and scalable adoption across the programme.
Delivery Learning & Knowledge Systems
- Establish and govern a structured delivery knowledge-sharing system across the Qiddiya programme.
- Institutionalise lessons learned, best practices, and repeatable standards.
- Create cross-BU transparency mechanisms to reduce duplication and rework.
- Implement structured feedback loops between Delivery, Logistics, Engineering, Procurement, and Commercial functions.
- Embed a culture of constructive transparency, where learning accelerates performance rather than assigning blame.
Knowledge sharing is positioned as a performance accelerator and delivery control mechanism — not documentation.
Key Accountabilities
- Provide executive leadership for MMC and Delivery Learning initiatives in alignment with SDU mandate and TOM.
- Translate systemic delivery risks and recurring failure patterns into structured institutional solutions.
- Secure executive alignment and approvals for frameworks, governance models, and scaling strategies.
- Ensure integration across Delivery, Procurement, Engineering/Design, Logistics, Commercial, and Digital functions.
- Drive measurable improvements in delivery predictability, productivity, and cross-BU coordination.
