Education:
Appropriate degree, preferably at MSc or PhD level, in the relevant area from an accredited university, e.g civil or railways engineering.
Experience:
20 years of professional experience with solid record of practical achievement and management of integrated and complex projects;
Comprehensive Knowledge and practical experience in large scale rail projects, ability to assess bids of complex transport / rail projects using modern techniques, and experience in the development of efficient implementation schedules and budget plans;
Experience in the integration of various modern transport factors including financing mechanisms, engineering, management, drawbacks and services;
Experience in RFP preparation, bid evaluation, technical specification development, project management and feasibility study of railway projects, and achievement of significant outcomes;
Knowledge of relevant issues such as institutional reform, human resources development, strategy, transport demand management, safety, road system, traffic management, congestion issues, GIS, information system and interagency coordination;
Demonstrated skills in programme formulation and design, and experience in the usage of computer, relevant specialized programs and office software packages;
Duties and Responsibilities
The scope of work will include, but not necessarily be limited to, the following:
Support the MOC in the planning, design, construction, and testing of the project;
Assess traffic demand and sector's capacity, and review available options;
Assess the NDP and NTTS requirements in connection with roads, land use, and regional borders, and recommend how the proposed railway project can be integrated with these issues;
Supervision of contractors’ performance, quality control, reviews general design, and certifying process.
Assess the national, regional and intermodal benefits of the proposed rail project;
Assess alignment options and least cost, proposed stations, technical specifications, obstacles, and make recommendations on the sustainability of the project after completion;
Develop feasibility study, design, RFP, bill of quantities, contract packages, TORs for consultancy work, and cost estimates as required, including externalities cost such as resettlement;
Monitor safety, health and environment;
Develop key performance indicators and monitoring and evaluation system and assess successful service provider’s efficiency;
Coordination with the Technical Director of the NTTS Project;
Report to the National Project Director of the MOC.
Expected outputs
Development of rail system in Kuwait is a new phenomenon. Rail system is highly complex and subject to various spectrums ranging from structural stability in civil engineering to the latest technology and computerized systems.
Outputs of the assignment include, but not necessarily be limited to, the followings:
Assessment of current status in Kuwait, including proposed rail alignment, previous studies, required legislations, cross border issues, and project management requirements;
Development of proposals and implementation plan and gain management approval;
Development of project budget and cost plan;
Development of thorough guidelines to optimize the use of resources and facilitate uniform implementation, taking into account all relevant rail components such as engineering and system design, safety and security, low-carbon issues, earthquake resistant, GIS issues, track gradients, power supply, signaling, depot, control facilities, software, construction procedures, alignment and track work, passenger and freight demand, climate conditions, reliability, availability and maintainability, performance requirements, testing, platform stops, commutations, train lighting, clock system, ventilation and air conditioning, recovery system, information system, and quality assurance;
Development of sustainable program for training of local cadres, management and assignment of required staff;
Preparation of RFP, answering queries, and participate at the evaluation and selection;
Supervision of procurement requirements and contractor works, conduct required test and approve deliverable;
Harmonization of management modalities of the different consultant/contractor outputs, to meet objectives and deadlines;
Conduct workshop and training sessions in line with the approved plan;
Produce technical papers regarding the project and international best practice to advance knowledge of staff, management and users;
Development of periodical progress reports.
