Job description
Jasara Program Management Company (Jasara PMC) is a leading Joint Venture between Public Investment Fund (PIF), Jacobs, and Saudi Aramco, established to deliver world-class program management services across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Jasara plays a key role in supporting the realization of Saudi Vision 2030, particularly in delivering giga-projects and large-scale infrastructure developments.
We are seeking an Asset Lifecycle Planning Director to join JASARA PMC. This role will establish the city-wide asset lifecycle planning framework, renewal rules and risk-based prioritization approach, integrating condition, risk, cost and performance data to shape lifecycle plans and renewal pipelines across portfolios.
The Asset Lifecycle Planning & Integration Director is accountable for establishing the city-wide lifecycle planning principles, frameworks, policies, renewal rules and intervention approach for City Asset Management. The role provides city-wide integration so lifecycle decisions across portfolios follow one unified ISO 55001-aligned AM framework, rather than fragmented local practices, and ensures decisions balance cost, risk, performance, service outcomes and whole-life asset value.
The role acts as the bridge between City AM portfolios and City Operations by defining lifecycle principles, intervention thresholds, maintenance policies, renewal criteria and cross-asset prioritization rules. It works with asset leads across the wider City AM team to ensure lifecycle plans reflect asset condition, criticality, hierarchy, service levels, O&M feedback and operational realities. It also works closely with the Enterprise AM Systems / SAP EAMS Director to ensure the AM platform and SAP EAMS produce the data, dashboards and decision-support outputs required to provide one trusted view of asset risk, condition, performance, backlog and lifecycle pressures across the city.
Key Responsibilities
- Lifecycle Planning Framework, Principles and Policies
· Establish the city-wide asset lifecycle planning framework, principles, policies and governance approach for City AM, aligned to the AM Policy, AM Strategy and ISO 55001 principles.
· Define lifecycle planning standards that balance cost, risk, performance, service quality, safety, maintainability, resilience and long-term asset value.
· Set the approach for managing assets across their life, including how condition, criticality, hierarchy, risk, service levels and whole-life cost inform planning decisions.
· Develop renewal rules, intervention approaches, planning assumptions and decision criteria for assets across portfolios and districts.
· Set out consistent requirements for lifecycle plans, asset management plans, renewal pipelines, budget inputs and portfolio-level investment recommendations.
· Ensure lifecycle planning reflects agreed asset ownership boundaries, leasing arrangements, cost structures and links to capital and operating budget planning.
· Align lifecycle planning with operational readiness, handover, maintenance policies, SAP EAMS capabilities, AM governance and City Operations monitoring requirements. - Renewal Pipeline and Risk-Based Prioritisation
· Develop the city-wide lifecycle and renewal pipeline by joining condition, risk, cost, performance, criticality and maintenance data across portfolios.
· Prioritise assets coming into operation between 2026 and 2028, ensuring renewal needs, early-life risks and lifecycle obligations are visible before handover.
· Set risk-based prioritisation rules that guide when assets are maintained, monitored, refurbished, renewed, replaced or escalated for investment decision.
· Create practical rules for transferring lifecycle planning outputs and prioritisation logic to incoming City Operations resources once recruited.
· Ensure prioritisation decisions are transparent, evidence-based and auditable, supporting whole-life cost and value optimisation. - Intervention Thresholds and Maintenance Policy Integration
· Work with asset leads across the wider City AM team to define intervention thresholds, maintenance policies, inspection triggers and asset-specific lifecycle requirements.
· Ensure lifecycle planning reflects portfolio-specific asset behaviour, usage intensity, condition profiles, criticality, service impacts and operational constraints.
· Translate asset class requirements into consistent planning rules for renewals, planned maintenance, condition monitoring, deterioration assumptions and replacement strategies.
· Challenge proposed interventions where cost, risk, performance or lifecycle value are not sufficiently evidenced.
· Ensure maintenance and intervention policies remain aligned with operational readiness, O&M feedback, budget planning and long-term asset management objectives. - SAP EAMS and Data Integration for Lifecycle Planning
· Work with the Enterprise AM Systems / SAP EAMS Director to ensure the AM platform and SAP EAMS are ready to support lifecycle planning, renewal forecast
