Job description

What this job involves:

Standing at the forefront of project delivery

As the person in charge, you'll assemble and lead various project teams, and establish effective organisational structure and working procedures for the teams. This role demands efficient project management skills, which you'll exhibit by identifying the projects' objectives and allotting sufficient budget, to achieve optimal results and meet the company's target profits.

Likewise, you'll be in charge of managing and monitoring the different stages of the projects—from their pre-design phase up to their completion. Furthermore, your proven track record in project management will come in handy, as you'll be in charge of facilitating negotiations, analyses and meetings with authorities.

Creating lasting client relationships

This role asks the question "How can I contribute even more to the company's growth?" You'll do this by establishing strong business relationships with our clients. To build lasting connection with our clients, you'll identify and work around their needs and constraints. You'll also represent their interests effectively throughout the whole project duration. Additionally, you'll be in charge of retaining new business contacts and repeat businesses from new investors or landlord clients within an agreed time period.

Promoting JLL in every opportunity

Will you act as the face of our business? If so, we'd be happy to take you on board. In this role, you'll see to it that our company is represented throughout the project. You'll do this by promoting our business offerings to new prospects, key local landlord clients, business investor networks and industry landlord associations.

Our successful Project Managers...

• Engage confidently with internal and external stakeholders and see things from their perspective.
• Are driven to succeed and love achieving challenging goals.
• Bring a structured and organised approach to everything they do.
• Communicate and collaborate to achieve success.
• Thrive under pressure and deal effectively with tight deadlines and high expectations.

An exceptional leader

This role demands high-level management skills—that's why an ideal candidate should have a degree in relevant property-related discipline, with a minimum of 15 years' experience in design, construction and project management.

This role also calls for an in-depth understanding of local codes and legislation, and demands that you carry out consultations, analyses and assessments. Furthermore, you'll ensure the effective delegation of responsibility and authority within the teams.

Are you an effective decision maker? In this role, you should be able to make tough decisions that resolve problems or improve operations.

A strong communicator

As well as your native tongue, are you fluent in both written and spoken English? If yes, talk to us-your strong communication skills will surely land you the job.

Having initiative

We'll rely on you to create an environment where all team members are encouraged to contribute. We'll also expect you to manage team members effectively, driving their enthusiastic and effective contribution to every project. Finally, looking out for and taking action on improvement opportunities should come second nature to you.
