Due to continued growth in Electrical Distribution Services, we are seeking a Senior Projects Specialist to lead multi medium-scale MV/LV projects, including retrofits, modernizations, and critical maintenance jobs. The role requires full ownership of assigned projects from customer handover to invoicing and payment collection with a clear focus on margin protection, digital execution, and customer satisfaction.
This position supports Schneider Electric’s digital transformation by utilizing tools such as my Schneider, Salesforce, and Eco Struxure Service Plans to streamline sales-to-execution transitions, contract creation, and progress tracking across the project lifecycle.
Lead the full life cycle of MV/LV electrical projects: scope validation, procurement, site works, commissioning, and handover. Use digital platforms for project creation, documentation, contract validation, and invoicing (e.g., my Schneider, Salesforce, ERP). Conduct project kick‑off meetings (internal and external), aligning stakeholders on scope, risks, and delivery plans.
Track and manage project financials (budget, revenue forecasts, gross margin). Ensure timely invoicing and proactive cash collection using digitally structured contracts and automated billing triggers. Prepare and present margin analysis and evolution during project review meetings.
Leverage the digital tools to coordinate with Field Services, Engineering, and Supply Chain to ensure material readiness and execution sequencing. Plan manpower and tools in collaboration with FSR managers, ensuring alignment with HSE and quality plans. Ensure internal orders, subcontracts, and logistics align with contractual requirements.
Validate and monitor project and contract creation via Salesforce and digital sales portals, ensuring structured handover from Tendering. Collaborate with tendering and sales teams to review digital contract inputs and confirm execution feasibility. Update key milestones, payment terms, and progress in real‑time via Schneider digital tools to maintain transparency and performance visibility.
Develop and manage project-specific HSE plans (PPE compliance, risk assessments, training, etc.). Identify risks early and implement mitigations; elevate when necessary to avoid schedule or financial impact. Ensure compliance with Schneider Electric quality standards and regulatory requirements.
Act as the primary customer interface during project execution. Communicate proactively on progress, changes, and risks. Capture and record customer feedback via satisfaction surveys at project close‑out.
Organize and lead internal 'end-of-project' debriefs to document lessons learned and improvement actions. Contribute to knowledge sharing, delivery tool improvements, and feedback into the offer development process.
Education: Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering Experience: Minimum 5 years in project management of MV/LV equipment and packages, with a preference for retrofit and services work Certification: PMP® (mandatory); Schneider PM certification (if internal) is a plus
Deep knowledge of MV/LV equipment, retrofit practices, protection schemes, and lifecycle solutions Familiar with Schneider Electric’s legacy and current ranges (Masterpact, Easypact, Sepam, VAMP, etc.) Understanding of sales‑to‑execution processes via digital tools such as Salesforce, my Schneider, and ERP (SAP/Oracle) Commercial fluency: able to interpret payment terms, contractual clauses, and margin impacts Experience in customer change request management and negotiation
High ownership mindset, self-driven, and results-oriented Excellent stakeholder coordination and conflict resolution skills Strong communicator in English (Arabic is a plus) Structured in documentation, reporting, and financial tracking Quality-conscious with a service delivery attitude Able to operate under pressure and navigate complexity
Willingness to travel across the Gulf region for site visits and customer engagements Familiarity with Oil & Gas sector standards and public utility specifications is an advantage Knowledge in adjacent domains (SCADA, Drives, BMS, PQ Systems) is a plus
