Descripción del empleo

Location

1. Primary base: Kotdwara, Uttarakhand 246149
2. Secondary base (Farm Address 25 km from Kotdwar): Gangaramwalla Sehkari Samuhik Kheti Sammiti Ltd., Village Gangaramwalla, Distt Bijnor, UP

Travel: Predominantly site-based during construction and development phases. Periodic travel may be required to suppliers, manufacturing facilities, contractor locations and partner sites.

Purpose

We are developing a premium farm-based destination on the Uttar Pradesh/Uttarakhand border near the city of Kotdwara in North India comprising agricultural operations, value-added food businesses and agritourism experiences.

The first phase of development includes glamping accommodation, guest facilities, staff accommodation, a food-processing facility with associated storage, packaging and dispatch areas, farm infrastructure, utilities and site-wide improvements necessary to support high-quality visitor experiences and efficient estate operations.

Architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, food-processing, food-safety and other specialist design services will be provided by appropriately qualified consultants appointed by the Owner/Promoter.

The Estate Development & Projects Manager will be responsible for preparing and coordinating project briefs, managing consultant inputs, reviewing designs for buildability, cost, durability, maintenance and operational suitability, and coordinating the implementation of approved designs.

The role does not require the successful candidate to personally prepare, certify or approve specialist architectural or engineering designs unless the individual is appropriately qualified and expressly authorised to do so.

This is a unique opportunity to help create a destination from the ground up rather than manage an existing operation.

Project Planning & Design Coordination

Responsibilities include:

• Coordinate the production and development of designs by appointed architects, engineers and specialist consultants for glamping pods, the food-processing facility, staff accommodation, utilities, guest facilities and supporting infrastructure.
• Work with architects, engineers, consultants and specialist suppliers to develop practical and cost-effective solutions.
• Review and coordinate drawings, specifications, bills of quantities and contractor proposals for completeness, buildability, cost, durability, maintenance, operational suitability and programme implications, referring specialist technical matters to the relevant appointed consultant.
• Ensure projects align with operational requirements, guest expectations and long-term estate plans.
• Identify design improvements that reduce cost, improve durability and simplify future maintenance.

Potential projects may include:

• Glamping pods
• Food-processing and associated storage, packaging and dispatch facilities
• Staff accommodation
• Public washrooms and service blocks
• Restaurants and dining facilities
• Roads and pathways
• Water systems
• Drainage and sewage systems
• Electrical infrastructure
• Landscaping and outdoor facilities
• Security and access control systems

The Projects Manager's review and coordination of designs will not replace the professional responsibility of appointed architects, engineers or other specialist consultants for the accuracy, adequacy, code compliance or certification of their designs.

The initial priorities will include coordinating the refurbishment and operational preparation of the existing Kotdwara factory, while progressing site due diligence, consultant appointments, design coordination and pre-development planning for the proposed glamping and food-processing development.

Construction & Project Delivery

The role will:

• Develop project plans and construction programmes.
• Oversee day-to-day construction and development activities.
• Coordinate multiple contractors and trades.
• Monitor quality, timelines and project costs.

• Resolve site issues and escalating risks.
• Track project progress and provide regular reports to ownership.
• Support snagging, handover and project close-out activities.
• Coordinate with Client-appointed food-processing, food-safety, architectural, engineering and regulatory consultants to ensure that approved processing requirements are incorporated into professionally prepared facility layouts, utility designs, equipment-installation plans and construction packages.
• Coordinate contractors, suppliers and specialist consultants involved in establishing the food-processing facility.
• Oversee the physical implementation of approved requirements relating to material and personnel flows, hygiene infrastructure, water, drainage, ventilation, power, storage, waste handling and equipment installation.

Procurement & Vendor Management

Responsibilities include:

• Source and evaluate contractors, tradespeople, suppliers and service providers.

• Assess infrastructure requirements for current and future business activities.
