About the Role
Guildhall is hiring for an infrastructure operator running a multi-year road operations and maintenance contract in the GCC. The person in this seat will own pavement condition data end to end — pulling from ARAN and LCMS survey systems and turning it into the maintenance schedules that keep a live road network in spec. The contract is in an active phase, and the client needs pavement data capability in place now to establish the condition baseline. It is a rare seat: full ownership of the data layer behind a decade-long O&M programme, not a short survey assignment.
The role
- Own pavement condition data analysis across a live, long-term road O&M contract in the GCC.
- Manage large datasets from ARAN and LCMS pavement survey systems
- Validate survey data for accuracy and consistency before it reaches planning
- Convert condition data into maintenance prioritisation and technical reports
- Coordinate with engineering and O&M teams on maintenance recommendations
What you'll bring
- Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or a related discipline
- 5–10 years in pavement engineering, data analysis, or road asset management
- Hands-on experience with ARAN pavement data collection and analysis tools
- LCMS or LCMS-2 platform experience strongly preferred
- Prior GCC or international road or O&M project experience is an advantage
What's on offer
- A defined seat on a long-term road O&M contract, not a short-term survey job.
- Direct ownership of the pavement data feeding maintenance decisions
- Embedded position working alongside engineering and O&M teams
- Long-term project stability inside a well-established regional infrastructure programme.

Hiring a Pavement Data Engineer in Qatar
Pavement Data Engineers sit inside road operations and maintenance contracts, usually reporting to an O&M or asset management lead. They own the pavement condition dataset — collected through systems such as ARAN and LCMS — and turn it into the maintenance plan that keeps a road network within its contracted performance standard. As GCC governments move more road networks onto long-term O&M contracts, demand for engineers who can run this data pipeline, rather than just collect the survey, has grown. Most hires come from a pavement engineering or road asset management background with several years on live O&M projects.
Common questions

What experience do I need to apply?
Typically a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or a related discipline, plus 5–10 years in pavement engineering, pavement data analysis, or road asset management. Hands-on experience with ARAN is a core requirement, and LCMS or LCMS-2 experience is strongly preferred. Prior work on GCC road or O&M contracts is an advantage.
