Technical Project Manager

About the Company

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.

Responsibilities

• 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

Qualifications

Relevant backgrounds include:

• Robotics and autonomous systems
• Aerospace and defence
• Marine, subsea, ROV, USV or AUV systems
• UAV / UGV platforms
• Advanced manufacturing and mechatronics
• Complex electromechanical, embedded or mission-critical systems

Required Skills

• Strong experience in technical project or programme management
• Proven delivery of physical engineered systems
• Experience moving technology from development into production
• Strong supplier and stakeholder management
• Native English or C2-level professional working proficiency

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.
