Job description

Role Overview:

The company delivers well when problems are prevented on site and manages poorly when they are only explained afterwards. The purpose of this role is to close that gap permanently: to make quality control, material verification and programme discipline systematic and independent of the Director's personal involvement. The clearest measure of success is negative. Directors should stop finding defects. Procurement should stop correcting material quantities. Progress should stop depending on whether the Director has spoken to the site that week.

Key Responsibilities:

Quality control and technical verification

Operate a pre-execution inspection system: no element is cast, closed or covered without a completed and signed check covering dimensions and set-out, levels, verticality, orientation, reinforcement against drawing and bar bending schedule, hook and lap details, cover and formwork.

Maintain a defect register per project, recording item, root cause, corrective action, responsible party, deadline, and verified closure — with closure verified, not assumed.

Ensure the visual and architectural aspects most often missed — levels, verticality, orientation and dimensional accuracy — are checked as rigorously as the structure.

Review drawings before issue to site and resolve inconsistencies with the design team before execution, not during it.

Material, Cost, & Commercial Control

Approve material requisitions only after verification against approved drawings and calculations, actual site progress, previous deliveries and remaining stock. Approval is a certification, not a signature.

Maintain rolling material forecasts across structural, architectural and MEP items.

Maintain delivery and stock records reconciled against requisitions and delivery notes.

Track and report the cost and time impact of every defect and delay, so that efficiency and loss are measurable rather than assumed.

Control waste, material loss, and site security.

Programme & Progress Management

Maintain the master programme and S-curve per project, with weighted progress verified with the Quantity Surveyor.

Set and enforce weekly work plans with named responsibility and defined output

Where delay occurs, produce a recovery plan — revised schedule, manpower plan and defined actions — within 48 hours. An explanation of the cause is not a recovery plan.

Maintain a two-week look-ahead per project, with the resources and materials required to achieve it secured in advance.

Establish clear authority on site with the team, vendors, and mandor — agreed plans are executed, not merely communicated.

Follow up and upscale in writing, the same day, where instructions are not carried out.

Enforce site rules on attendance, idle time, cleanliness, waste disposal and conduct, through a defined warning system.

Run weekly coordination meetings that produce decisions and assigned actions, not status reports.

Manage vendor performance against contract, including quality, programme and rectification obligations.

Risk Management & Escalation

Maintain a live risk register per project, identifying risks before execution with mitigation and the owner.

Escalate to the Director before an issue affects cost, quality or programme — not after.

Give the Director bad news early and directly. The company treats early escalation as competence, not failure.

Reporting & Systems

Ensure daily and weekly reporting is submitted on time, in the formats set by the Design & Construction Lead, without reminders.

Reports must carry risk, action, owner, deadline and closure — not observation and minutes.

Build and document the systems so they survive personnel changes and operate without the Director driving them.

Lead, supervise and develop the site project managers, engineers and supervisors.

Delegate quality control to supervisors and foremen with defined standards and verification, so that inspection capacity is built rather than concentrated.

Set expectations and consequences clearly with the team, and apply them consistently.

Identify capability gaps in the site team and address them through training, restructuring or replacement, with recommendations to the Director.

Qualifications:

Education

Bachelor’s / Master’s Degree in Civil Engineering, Architecture, Construction Management, or equivalent demonstrated experience.

Experience

Minimum 10 years of experience in construction project management, including at least 5 years managing multiple concurrent projects.

Proven experience in structural site management, including reinforcement, formwork, set-out, tolerances, concrete works, material control, and quantity verification.

Experience managing vendors, subcontractors, and mandor, as well as working directly with design teams in design-and-build projects; experience managing and developing other project managers is a plus.

Skills

Strong QA/QC and construction quality management skills, including checklists, defect registers, and inspection records.

Strong programme and progress management skills, including S-curves, weighted progress, look-ahead planning, and recovery planning.

Ability to verify materials and quantities against drawings and bar bending schedules, with strong attention to technical and contractual requirements.

Working proficiency in English and Bahasa Indonesia, with strong coordination and stakeholder management skills.

Attributes

Strong leadership and people management capabilities.

Detail-oriented with a strong commitment to quality, safety, and programme delivery.

Proactive, accountable, and solution-oriented in managing project challenges.

Strong communication and coordination skills across clients, consultants, design teams, contractors, vendors, and site teams.

Note: Applying to ATTA Studio is completely free. We will never ask candidates to make any payment at any stage of the hiring process.
