Project Overview:

Expo 2030 Riyadh is a global platform where countries, organizations, and individuals will come together to collaborate. Under the theme “Foresight for Tomorrow,” the Expo promotes sustainable development, innovation, and transformative thinking. The event will be held from October 2030 to March 2031 and is expected to welcome over 40 million visits. The 6 km² Masterplan outlines a comprehensive framework for participation and infrastructure at the Expo. The exhibition space, totaling 491,100 m² GFA, can accommodate up to 197 participating countries and 29 international organizations. Working collaboratively with our customer, Expo 2030 Riyadh Company (ERC), Bechtel will manage the infrastructure program which comprises early works, utilities, and publicly accessible spaces like streets and parks. Our scope on the six-square-kilometer site will transition into a mixed-use legacy development to serve the community after the six-month event is over. The project’s master plan leverages international sustainability standards for urban afforestation, treated water, and energy sources.

Job Summary:

The Power BI Specialist will be responsible for the design, development, optimization, and maintenance of interactive dashboards, reports, and data models to support effective project decision‑making across the Master Planning, Engineering, and Construction phases. The role focuses on transforming complex cost, schedule, and performance data into clear, accurate, and insightful visual analytics using Power BI and related Microsoft tools. In addition, the role supports metadata definition, mapping, and integration to enable synchronization of data between Power BI and multiple Project Management Information Systems (PMIS) (e.g., EcoSys, Unifier, Primavera P6, ACC Build, Morta, Power Apps, ACONEX and similar tools), ensuring consistent master data, reporting hierarchies, and KPIs across platforms. The Power BI Specialist will work closely with Project Controls, Cost, Planning, Engineering, and Digital/IT teams to understand reporting requirements, define data structures and metadata standards, and ensure consistent, reliable, and timely reporting aligned with project and client standards. The role supports performance monitoring by highlighting trends, variances, risks, and constraints for management attention. The Power BI Specialist is a key member of the Project Controls function and will report to the Project Controls Manager.
