Job description

THE ROLE

Mirchandani Group is seeking a hands-on operating leader who can convert management priorities into clear plans, ownership and closure across active developments. This is not a purely administrative or site-construction role. The AGM will create visibility across design, procurement, contracts, billing, approvals and execution, anticipate constraints and ensure decisions translate into action.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Run the operating rhythm across Mumbai projects through weekly reviews, trackers, dashboards, action logs and disciplined escalation.
• Integrate project schedules across design releases, approvals, procurement, work orders, execution, billing, handover and close-out.
• Drive procurement planning: package strategy, BOQ readiness, tender comparisons, negotiations, award timelines, long-lead tracking and vendor performance.
• Strengthen contract administration, variation control, reconciliation, billing turnaround and cost-to-complete visibility in coordination with site, billing and finance teams.
• Identify upcoming constraints before they affect site progress; assign owners, obtain decisions and follow through to closure.
• Coordinate architects, consultants, contractors, internal project teams and directors without allowing accountability to become diluted.
• Standardise practical SOPs, MIS formats and review systems across projects while keeping reporting lean and decision-oriented.
• Support project handover, snag closure, statutory/document close-out and lessons learned.
• Build team capability, clarify roles and hold managers accountable to measurable commitments.
• Use technology and AI-enabled tools where they reduce manual follow-up, improve control or increase management visibility.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• Management receives one reliable view of priorities, delays, costs, decisions and ownership.
• Procurement, drawing, billing and site dependencies are identified weeks ahead rather than after work stops.
• Reviews result in documented decisions and closure, not repeated discussion.
• Project controls improve without creating a paperwork-heavy bureaucracy.

EXPERIENCE & CAPABILITIES

• 12-18 years in project operations, project controls or development management with a credible real-estate developer or PMC; Mumbai experience strongly preferred.
• Strong working knowledge of high-rise residential or mixed-use delivery, consultant coordination, contracts, procurement, billing and handover.
• Commercially sharp: able to read BOQs, comparative statements, work orders, cash-flow and cost reports, and question inconsistencies.
• Strong Excel and presentation skills; comfort with planning/project software and modern digital tools.
• Degree in Civil Engineering; postgraduate qualification in construction/project management is advantageous.

PERSONAL ATTRIBUTES

• High ownership and personal integrity.
• Calm but demanding follow-through.
• Comfortable moving between site detail and director-level decisions.
• Structured, concise communicator who escalates with facts and options.
