The Bahrain office is 40 employees based in some of the best office space in Bahrain and are currently working on the largest construction projects in the region. The cost of living in Bahrain is far less than other areas in the Middle East such as Dubai, and there is a very large expat community on the Island, hence the culture is very westernised.

Experience of working with either Middle East Clients or on Middle East projects preferable but not essential. Proven track record of collaborating with leading consultants resulting in successful project delivery. However we will look at candidates with less experience provided this experience to date is sufficiently relevant. Qualifications: MRICS qualified or equivalent.

Individuals construct their own Personal Development Plans according to their own development needs and career aspirations and together with their line manager, decide on training needs.
