Job summary

California Burrito is seeking a hands-on Site Executive to drive construction and design execution for our new stores. This is a site-based role for someone with a sharp eye for finishes and who can work closely with vendors and contractors daily to deliver stores exactly as designed.

You will lead on-site fit-outs, ensure design intent, inspect finishes, manage snagging, coordinate with vendors, and track progress against the schedule to meet tight launch deadlines.

Qualifications

• 1–3 years on-site execution experience in interior fit-outs.
• Strong ability to read and execute from GFC, MEP and detail drawings.
• Demonstrated eye for finish quality and detailing; knowledge of materials and finishing standards.
• Vendor / contractor handling — negotiation, follow-up and quality enforcement on site.

Responsibilities

• Execute store fit-outs as per approved GFC drawings — civil, interiors, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and kitchen installation.
• Ensure design intent is translated accurately on site: materials, finishes, colours, lighting, and detailing match the brand specification.
• Maintain high standards of workmanship — inspect finishes (tile, painting, carpentry, cladding, false ceiling) at every stage.
• Lead snagging: prepare detailed snag lists and drive contractors to close them fully before handover.
• Work closely with contractors, fabricators and material vendors on a daily basis — align them on scope, quality benchmarks, and timelines.
• Conduct sample/mock-up approvals for key finishes before bulk execution.
• Track vendor deliverables, follow up on material deliveries, and resolve on-site coordination issues between agencies.
• Verify work measurements and contractor bills against BOQs.

Job description

We are looking for a hands-on Site Executive to drive construction and design execution for our new stores. This is a site-based role for someone with a sharp eye for finishes — who won't accept a wavy wall, a misaligned tile, or an off-spec laminate — and who can work closely with vendors and contractors daily to deliver stores exactly as designed.

Key Responsibilities

A) Construction & Design Execution

• Execute store fit-outs as per approved GFC drawings — civil, interiors, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and kitchen installation.
• Ensure design intent is translated accurately on site: materials, finishes, colours, lighting, and detailing match the brand specification.
• Maintain high standards of workmanship — inspect finishes (tiling, painting, carpentry, cladding, false ceiling) at every stage, not just at handover.
• Identify deviations from drawings early and resolve them with the architect / Project Manager before rework becomes costly.
• Lead snagging: prepare detailed snag lists and drive contractors to close them fully before handover.
• Work closely with contractors, fabricators, and material vendors on a daily basis — align them on scope, quality benchmarks, and timelines.
• Conduct sample / mock-up approvals for key finishes before bulk execution.
• Track vendor deliverables, follow up on material deliveries, and resolve on-site coordination issues between agencies.
• Verify work measurements and contractor bills against BOQs.

C) Project Coordination

• Monitor daily site progress against the project schedule; report slippages and risks to the Project Manager.
• Maintain site documentation: progress photos, quality checklists, trackers, and MIS.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree / diploma in Civil Engineering, Architecture, or Interior Design.
• 1–3 years of on-site execution experience in interior fit-outs — QSR, retail, F&B, or hospitality preferred.
• Strong ability to read and execute from GFC, MEP, and detail drawings.
• Demonstrated eye for finish quality and detailing; knowledge of materials and finishing standards.
• Proven vendor / contractor handling — negotiation, follow-up, and quality enforcement on site.
• Willingness to be on site full-time, travel across cities, and work to tight launch deadlines.
