• Supporting road safety audits, safety reviews, and independent safety assessments for Saudi Arabian projects, aligned with local authority and Ministry requirements.
• Managing RSA submissions, authority comments, and mitigation close‑out, ensuring clarity on risk ownership and residual risk.
• Acting as a recognised road safety subject‑matter expert in meetings with ITC, RTA, and relevant KSA authorities.

• Undertaking network and corridor safety assessments, prioritisation frameworks, and investment programmes.
• Undertaking crash data and safety analytics, including the ability to analyse collision data, identify high risk locations and develop road safety interventions.
• Demonstrating experience in developing and applying safety KPIs, including framework plans, to monitor outcomes, assess interventions and support data driven decisions.

Integrated Transport & Design Leadership

• Working with multi‑disciplinary teams to ensure safety is embedded early through planning and design, rather than retrofitted through mitigation.
• Supporting post‑implementation monitoring, performance review, and continuous safety improvement.
• Undertaking road safety reviews for temporary traffic management and construction stages.

Leadership & Capability Building

• Mentoring junior staff in RSA methodology, safety strategy development, and authority engagement.
• Ensuring compliance with QA/QC, document management, and professional assurance standards.
• Contributing to positioning AtkinsRéalis as a trusted road safety advisor, not only an audit provider.
• Managing projects delivery and commercial evaluation, including leading proposals and bid submissions, defining scope and resources, managing budgets and timelines, an ensuring high quality deliveries in line with client expectations.
