What you'll be doing?

• Leading on-site coordination: Take full ownership of day-to-day site activities, coordinating contractors, tradespeople, and project stakeholders to ensure works are executed in line with design intent and project specifications.
• Managing project timelines and scheduling: Plan and manage project timelines, weekly site schedules, and progress reporting using the company's in-house systems and templates to keep every project moving with precision.
• Solving site challenges proactively: Anticipate problems before they arise, respond swiftly when issues do occur, and apply calm, practical problem-solving to keep the project on track without compromising quality.
• Interpreting and executing design drawings: Read and confidently apply interior construction drawings, ensuring that every detail of the design is translated faithfully and beautifully into the built environment.
• Communicating with clients and contractors: Serve as the key point of contact on site, maintaining clear and professional communication with clients and contractors throughout every stage of the project.
• Ensuring project organisation and compliance: Keep all project documentation organised, maintain adherence to workflow processes, and ensure that all site activities align with the company's standards and client expectations.
• Collaborating with the design and build team: Work closely with designers, the carpentry team, and other internal stakeholders to bridge the worlds of design creativity and construction practicality seamlessly.

Who are they looking for?

• Carpentry and built-in furniture knowledge: Familiarity with carpentry, built-in furniture, or cabinetry works is a valued added advantage, particularly given the company's in-house carpentry operations.
