Job Description:

Parsons is seeking an authoritative and highly systematic Senior Document Controller to establish, govern, and lead the overarching information management framework for a multi-billion-dollar program in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. This role requires an expert to take some ownership of the life cycle of all engineering, commercial, and legal records across massive infrastructure packages, ensuring flawless compliance, data integrity, and strict access control across all project entities.

What You'll Be Doing

• Framework & Governance Setup: Establish, update, and enforce program-wide document control policies, numbering taxonomies, and standard operating procedures (SOPs) for Parsons teams, contractors, and subcontractors.
• EDMS Management & Supervision: Oversee the deployment, optimization, and daily administration of the Enterprise Document Management System (EDMS), ensuring metadata compliance and seamless system configuration.
• Team Leadership & Quality Assurance: Manage a multi-national team of document controllers, running regular quality audits to eliminate indexing errors, backlog delays, or missing revisions.
• Security & Access Control: Maintain absolute data confidentiality and security protocols in strict alignment with client requirements and Parsons data privacy standards, safeguarding sensitive or restricted project files.
• Reporting & Progress Tracking: Generate specialized document status metrics, turnaround-time analytics, and engineering submittal reports for Senior Project Directors to flag workflow bottlenecks.

What Required Skills You'll Bring

• Experience: Minimum of 10 years of progressive experience in document control and records management on world-class, mega-scale construction and infrastructure programs, with a proven track record in a leadership or managerial capacity.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Information Management, Engineering, Diploma,  or a related discipline from an accredited institution.
• Technical Expertise: Advanced, expert-level proficiency with major industry-standard EDMS platforms (such as Aconex, ProjectWise, or PMWeb). Deep understanding of engineering drawings, design stages, and contract closeout documentation workflows.

What Desired Skills You'll Bring

• Location/Adaptability: Must be willing to relocate to and work full-time in the Tabuk region. Direct experience managing complex information systems for Saudi Arabian giga-projects (such as NEOM, Trojena, Oxagon, or Red Sea Global) is heavily weighted.
• Communication & Precision: Exceptional organizational capability, meticulous attention to detail, and a flawless command of technical English. The role demands strong leadership to guide contractors and maintain rigid compliance under aggressive program timelines.

Parsons equally employs representation at all job levels no matter the race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, age, disability or genetic information.
