Asset Lifecycle Planning Director

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 forecasting, intervention rules, condition scoring, risk prioritisation and cost-performance analysis - Define lifecycle data requirements, including asset hierarchy, classification, condition, criticality, failure modes, replacement value, expected life, maintenance history, cost, risk, performance and renewal information - Ensure dashboards and reports provide usable outputs for lifecycle forecasts, renewal pipelines, budget inputs, risk registers, backlog visibility, performance trends and portfolio decision-making - Link asset management outputs to financial reporting and work-management systems to support one version of the truth for lifecycle planning and investment decisions - Validate that data captured during handover and early operations is sufficient to support lifecycle planning, total cost of ownership, renewal prioritisation and adaptive change management - Promote a single source of lifecycle asset information that supports balanced decisions over the full lifespan of each asset - Portfolio and Infrastructure Asset Integration - Lead integration of lifecycle planning across asset portfolios, ensuring common AM standards while allowing asset-class specific intervention rules and maintenance policies - Direct the Asset Lifecycle & Costing Senior Manager to develop lifecycle cost models, renewal forecasts, budget inputs and whole-life cost analysis across asset portfolios - Direct the Infrastructure Assets Integration Manager to work with the Infrastructure portfolio lead on lifecycle plans and programmes for roads and car parks - Ensure risks, issues and opportunities from O&M are fed back into prioritisation, lifecycle plans, asset management plans and renewal pipelines - Coordinate with asset class leads to ensure lifecycle assumptions reflect operational realities, service expectations, deterioration patterns, usage intensity and maintenance strategy - Provide a city-wide integrated view of asset risk, performance, backlog and lifecycle pressures to inform capital and Opex planning - Support integrated planning across City AM so lifecycle, costing, risk, criticality, operational integration and infrastructure asset priorities are joined up across the city operating model - Lifecycle Costing, Budget Inputs and Investment Planning - Direct the Asset Lifecycle & Costing Senior Manager to develop lifecycle cost models, renewal forecasts, total cost of ownership analysis and portfolio-level budget inputs - Translate lifecycle plans into prioritised renewal programmes, multi-year capital requirements and operating budget implications - Ensure investment recommendations are supported by condition, risk, cost, criticality, performance, backlog and service-impact evidence - Support capital and Opex planning by identifying short-, medium- and long-term renewal needs, funding risks, deferral impacts and value optimisation options - Use KPI and trend reporting, performance monitoring and O&M feedb
