Job Description

Chief Operating Officer

Build the organisation that will shape the future

For decades, RDC has been one of Sri Lanka's most respected engineering and infrastructure consultancies. As we look towards 2035, we are seeking an experienced leader to help guide the next chapter of the organisation.

This is not a traditional COO role. It is an opportunity to bring a lifetime of experience to an organisation committed to shaping the country’s future.

For the right candidate, this role represents a natural next chapter; an opportunity to bring a lifetime of leadership experience to an organisation shaping Sri Lanka's future. Beyond operational leadership, it offers the chance to mentor future professionals, strengthen governance and institutional capability, and leave a legacy through the people, systems and standards you help build.

The Role

Alongside a CEO focused on growth, clients and partnerships, you will provide operational leadership, strategy and mentorship, ensuring RDC continues to deliver at the highest standards while building the systems, people and culture needed for the future.

You Will

  • Lead operations and project delivery
  • Strengthen systems, governance and accountability
  • Drive quality and operational excellence
  • Own workforce planning, talent and succession
  • Build the culture required for multidisciplinary growth
  • Protect RDC's reputation for excellence and integrity

You Bring

  • Proven leadership of large and complex organisations
  • Strong governance and accountability experience
  • Experience managing multidisciplinary technical teams
  • Integrity, sound judgement and public credibility
  • The ability to mentor and develop future leaders

What Success Looks Like

  • Delivery – stronger operational capability and project performance
  • People – future leaders developed and succession strengthened
  • Legacy – experience transferred to the next generation
  • Foundations – the platform for RDC's 2035 ambition

If you are confident that you possess the right knowledge, skills and definitely the passion and the attitude to grow with us; please forward your resume
