Operations Management Consultant

Allow us to introduce ourselves

At dss+, we are not just your average global operations consulting firm. We are a purpose-driven company that exists to save lives and create a sustainable future – for our clients, employees, and communities.
In pursuit of this purpose, we put people at the centre of everything we do, and we are a consultancy with heart.

As an experienced operations consultant, your role is crucial in helping us achieve this purpose, making you an integral part of our operations.

Right now, we’re expanding our market reach and impact in the United Arab Emirates and the wider Middle East. We’re looking for experienced operations consultants who can help us transform our clients’ organisations and work as part of high-performing project teams on large, complex transformational programmes.

This expansion presents a unique opportunity for you to grow both personally and professionally as you contribute to our purpose and work on challenging projects.

Does this sound like you?

As a valued member of our client-engagement project teams, you will be pivotal in leading key work streams and working with industry-leading clients across multiple sectors to reduce risks and improve business continuity and asset productivity.
You’ll save lives, drive performance, and improve the working lives of employees across the organisations you support.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Working as an integral member of client project teams, executing complex tasks and leading work streams.

• Contributing to sales through high-quality proposals, solution design, and participation in client business-development meetings.

• Analysing operational processes, management systems, and performance improvement opportunities in safety, operational excellence, or environmental sustainability.

• Actively engaging with clients through meetings, workshops, and field observations; implementing practical, hands-on solutions.

• Analysing data to develop meaningful recommendations and crafting high-quality presentations and reports for client engagements.

• Conducting interviews, DILOs, and document reviews to assess operational risk and improvement opportunities.

• Designing and delivering training, coaching, and workshops at client sites.

Let’s see where our shared vision leads

We have a strong growth trajectory and a global footprint, offering unprecedented opportunities for our people to advance their careers while working with clients and colleagues worldwide. You’ll join forces with technical operations executives, experienced line managers, and qualified coaches who all share a problem-solving mindset and a passion for impact.

We provide:

• A mentorship programme with senior leaders to broaden technical expertise and share best practices.

• A performance and talent-development framework, including access to the Consulting Development Academy.

• Competitive base salary, medical cover, allowances, disability benefits, a discretionary annual incentive plan, and flexible work policies.

• Opportunities to contribute to regional and international projects, broadening your experience and professional network.

Who are you today?

Beyond that, be yourself. At dss+, we embrace and celebrate diversity. Above all, we foster an inclusive culture in which everyone contributes and has the chance to develop their talents further.

Ideally, you will bring:

• A bachelor’s or master’s degree in engineering, business, or a related field.

• Prior management consulting experience and/or operational experience in one of our core industries (Oil & Gas, Energy, Chemicals, Mining & Metals, Utilities, Manufacturing, etc.)

• Exposure to one or more of our key practice areas: Operational Excellence, Operational Risk, Safety, or Sustainability.

• Experience working within project teams and leading work streams on complex assignments.

• Adaptability and the ability to thrive within diverse, often remote, consultant teams while consistently delivering client and business objectives.

• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with strength in quantitative and qualitative analysis, and proficiency in using business intelligence tools (e.g. Power BI, Tableau)

• Professional proficiency in English (Arabic is an advantage).
