Objective:

Own the end-to-end document-control function—including engineering and vendor records—for an Abu Dhabi EPC megaproject exceeding USD 1 billion. Lead and mentor a team of document controllers; specify Fusion Live requirements for the system administrator and administer client-side Aconex. Ensure every document is registered, quality-checked, distributed, reviewed, approved and archived in full compliance with project, client and regulatory standards, while upskilling internal staff, vendors and third parties through training.

Team Leadership:

• Manage, coach, and develop 7-12 document controllers; set daily workloads and conduct performance reviews

Training & Capability Building:

• Design and deliver hands-on training for project personnel on Fusion Live search/upload, workflow use, and metadata standards.
• Provide vendor-facing Aconex training covering SDR submission rules, transmittals, and comment resolution.
• Publish quick-reference guides and video walk-throughs; track training attendance and effectiveness.

Vendor DM

• Own engineering document workflows: maintain distribution matrices, track IDC cycles, and secure timely approvals.
• Oversee vendor DM: coordinate with Procurement, enforce SDR compliance, and shepherd supplier data through client review.

EDMS Governance

• Capture metadata, workflow, and distribution requirements; pass them to the Fusion Live administrator for build-out.
• Coordinate user-acceptance testing; verify Fusion Live (internal) and Aconex (client) configurations meet project needs.

Reporting & KPIs

• Produce weekly dashboards—submissions, overdue actions, client comments, dossier progress—and ad-hoc exception reports.

Records and Close Out

• Define and execute the archiving plan (hard-copy & electronic); compile “as-built” / MRB dossiers for hand-over.

Procedure and Compliance:

• Own Document Control Procedures and Work Instructions; align with Wood standards, ADNOC guidelines, ISO 9001, and project-specific requirements.
