Job Description

Purpose of the Role: The Execution Director is the discipline authority of SBA, responsible for ensuring no task or drawing is released without readiness, coordination, and clarity. This role acts as the final gatekeeper before any internal, client-facing, or site-facing release.

Requirements

Task Release Governance

Before releasing any task, the Execution Director must review the Full Kitting Form, Requirements Form, and MOMs within Zoho Projects. No release should occur without reviewing these references.

Pre-Execution Readiness

Ensure mandatory execution enablers are aligned: site readiness checklist, PMConboarding, landscape and MEP alignment, soil report validation, automation consultant onboarding, and HVAC readiness.

Interior Wing Discipline

Ensure furniture layout approvals precede greyscale blocking. Validate ceiling coordination against structure and MEP overlays. Confirm electrical and plumbing integration in all interior drawings.

Architectural Discipline

Validate FAR, setbacks, and covered areas before progression. Ensure services awareness across facade, terrace, and external architectural sheets.

Cross Wing Coordination

Prevent siloed execution across architecture, interiors, structure, MEP, and landscape. All releases must reflect layered coordination.

Zoho Governance

Treat Zoho Projects as the single source of truth. Ensure MOM completeness, dependency clarity, and traceable releases.

Release Validation Protocol

Validate requirements clarity, coordination depth, service integration, sequencing correctness, and regulatory checks before any release.

Error Prevention

Track recurring errors, identify root causes, and implement structural corrections to eliminate repeat failures.

Discipline Expectation

The Execution Director must embody calm authority, precision thinking, and zero tolerance for premature releases.

At Simran Boparai Archtelier, we offer a collaborative and innovative work environment that encourages creativity and professional growth. You will have the opportunity to work on a diverse range of projects and contribute to our mission of designing spaces that inspire and enrich communities.
