Associate Construction Manager

Who we are 

Atoms is building the machines that power the next era of progress.

Over the last decade, software has transformed the digital world. But the physical world, where food is made, minerals are mined, goods are moved, and industries are run, remains far less intelligent, far less efficient, and far more constrained. We’re changing that.

Atoms builds Physical AI— real-world robots for the industries that move civilization forward, starting with food, mining, and transport. Our systems are designed to understand, predict, and control the real world with precision, turning complex physical operations into something more reliable, more scalable, and more productive.

This work requires more than robotics. It requires deep integration across hardware, software, AI, operations, manufacturing, and real estate. We don’t just build machines in a lab. We deploy them into real environments, operate them, learn from them, and improve them until they work at scale.

We are roboticists, engineers, operators, and builders. We believe the next great technology companies will not only transform information, but the physical systems that shape everyday life.

If you want to work on hard problems with real-world impact, join us.

What you’ll do

• Oversee the construction, execution, and delivery, ensuring compliance with project specifications, timelines, and budgets.
• Manage and coordinate with contractors, consultants, and project teams to ensure smooth execution of works on-site.
• Monitor construction progress, identify risks, and implement corrective actions to mitigate delays and cost overruns.
• Ensure compliance with local and international building codes, safety regulations, and quality control standards.
• Lead site inspections, audits, and quality assurance checks, ensuring adherence to approved designs and specifications.
• Collaborate with the design and engineering teams to resolve technical issues and implement value engineering solutions.
• Oversee health, safety, and environmental (HSE) standards, ensuring a safe and compliant work environment.
• Manage project reporting, including progress updates, risk assessments, and resource planning.
• Review and approve contractor submittals, RFIs, change orders, and work schedules.
• Lead stakeholder meetings and ensure alignment of construction activities with project goals and client expectations.

What we’re looking for

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field.
• 5-7 years of experience in construction management, with at least 3 years spent in Food & Beverage or restaurant construction 
• Proven experience managing BOQ (Bill of Quantities) and costing across various scopes (e.g., Civil, Electrical, Plumbing, HVAC, Gas).
• Strong knowledge of construction methodologies, building codes, and industry standards.
• Hands-on experience in project planning, budgeting, risk management, and cost control.
• Excellent leadership and communication skills to manage large teams, contractors, and client interactions.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office or GoogleDocs, and construction management software.
• Experience with FIDIC contracts, project scheduling tools (Primavera P6, MS Project), and quality control processes.
• PMP or CCM certification is a plus.
• Fluency in English and Arabic is essential

Why join us 

At Atoms, you’ll work on one of the defining challenges of our time—bringing automation into the physical world to drive real, lasting impact. We exist to uncover valuable unknown truths and turn them into progress, which means constantly pushing beyond what’s known and building what doesn’t yet exist. The work is ambitious and often challenging, but it’s grounded in a shared sense of purpose and a team committed to seeing it through together. Our work only matters if it serves others, and we know that meaningful progress depends on the trust of the people we serve and the strength of our team—so we invest in both, creating an environment where you can do your best work and grow.

What else you need to know 

This role is based in our Riyadh office. As a company driven by innovation and continuous change, close collaboration is essential. We’re constantly reimagining our industry, creating new products, and refining our processes, and we do our best work together. That’s why all of our office-based teams work onsite, five days a week. 

Ready to join us as we serve those who serve others?
