 REAL STORIES, REAL IMPACT

Stories from Our Clients and Candidates

Built on purposeful leadership, every appointment drives organisations to implement sustainable infrastructure, reduce carbon in construction, and advance towards net zero. 

Building a Project Management Team for a Developer’s Smart City Projects in Dubai

When a leading real estate and master development company in Dubai planned a series of large-scale, mixed-use, waterfront urban developments, they needed to build an entire project management team. This included senior leadership and ten project managers to oversee delivery across master planning, large urban communities, and high-footprint developments.


We partnered with them from the outset, helping define the senior leadership structure. This included a Head of Development to lead all projects, a Director of Sustainable Infrastructure to oversee low-carbon construction and urban energy systems, and a Master Planning Lead to ensure integrated urban design and utility infrastructure.


Once the leadership team was in place, we supported recruitment of Project Managers, Site Engineers, and other delivery specialists, ensuring the team combined technical expertise, local market knowledge, and experience managing large, multi-disciplinary urban projects.


Today, the developer’s project management team delivers end-to-end oversight for multiple smart city developments across the Middle East, including sustainable infrastructure, urban energy systems, and integrated master planning. This demonstrates how strategic leadership appointments combined with structured team building enable developers to successfully execute complex, high-impact urban projects.

Supporting Developers to Build Sustainable Infrastructure and Smart Cities in the Middle East

When an engineering consultancy focused on sustainable infrastructure and smart city solutions aimed to expand into the Middle East, they needed a senior leadership team capable of guiding developers on complex, low-carbon urban projects.


We partnered with them from the outset, helping define the regional senior structure. This included a Managing Director to lead Middle East operations, a Technical Director to oversee sustainable infrastructure and low-carbon building initiatives, and a Smart City Lead to advise on integrated urban planning, digital infrastructure, and transport electrification.


Once the leadership team was in place, we supported recruitment of multidisciplinary specialists, including Engineers, Urban Planners, Sustainability Consultants, and Project Managers. This ensured each team member had the right mix of technical expertise, local market insight, and experience delivering developer-led projects.


Today, the consultancy is helping developers across the Middle East deliver landmark sustainable infrastructure and smart city projects, establishing itself as a trusted partner for urban transformation in the region. This demonstrates how strategic senior appointments, combined with targeted team building, enable consultancies to guide developers in delivering high-impact, future-ready cities.

ADAPTING, GROWING AND LEADING WITH PURPOSE

Redefining Roles in a Changing World

Advancing knowledge of environmental impact is vital. Experienced professionals from civil engineering, urban planning, and construction management are increasingly moving into roles that require a broader understanding of environmental impact, resource efficiency, and long-term resilience.  Technical expertise is now applied to challenges such as low-carbon design, circular materials, and climate-adaptive infrastructure.


Digital innovation is central to evolution. Tools for building information modelling, environmental simulation, and data-driven project management are enhancing traditional construction practices. These technologies allow leaders to manage complex developments that integrate sustainability goals across design, delivery, and operation.


A new generation of infrastructure professionals is emerging. Infrastructure professionals are not only building physical assets but also shaping the future of sustainable development. Their careers reflect a sector in transition, collaborative, forward-thinking, and focused on creating infrastructure that supports both people and the planet.

OUR COMMITMENT

Shaping a Sustainable Tomorrow, Together

A better future is created through collaboration. When the right person joins a team, they help shape culture, spark innovation, and strengthen collective effort. The right leadership brings clarity and cohesion, guiding teams through complexity and change. With aligned values and shared purpose, individuals and leaders build solutions that are both impactful and enduring.
