Role Summary

The Document & Technology Controller is responsible for two equally weighted pillars: documentation quality and compliance across JAM Safety's deliverables, and control of the bespoke JAM Safety operations platform as the department's technology controller.

On documentation, the role takes briefs from clients, identifies the right resources to produce documents, supports and creates documentation, and reviews it for compliance and client-readiness. On technology, the role manages the operations platform from operations, client, subcontractor, and staff perspectives, ensuring the system functions correctly and that documentation is processed accurately.

The role requires a complete working understanding of UAE, KSA, and Qatar laws and compliance as they relate to event safety, alongside practical event experience, so that all documentation stands up to scrutiny in each jurisdiction.
