• Land Acquisition Support: Support the land acquisition team by providing due diligence reports, zoning information, and site analysis for potential land purchases. Assist in evaluating land titles, legal documents, and environmental assessments.

• Ensure strict compliance with zoning ordinances, building codes, environmental regulations, and other relevant real estate laws.
• Maintain strong relationships with government agencies and facilitate smooth processing of applications.
• Stakeholder Coordination: Act as a liaison between the project development team and various internal departments (e.g., Sales & Marketing, Legal, Finance, Engineering, Design). Coordinate with external consultants, including architects, engineers, urban planners, environmental consultants, and legal advisors.
• Documentation & Reporting: Prepare comprehensive project documentation, including feasibility reports, project proposals, minutes of meetings, and progress reports. Maintain organized records of all project-related permits, communications, and agreements. Provide regular updates on project status, risks, and challenges to the Project Development Manager.
• Budget Monitoring & Control: Assist in tracking project development expenses against the approved budget. Identify potential cost overruns and propose solutions.
• Risk Management: Identify potential risks during the development phase (e.g., regulatory hurdles, market changes, environmental concerns) and assist in developing mitigation strategies.
• Graduate of Business Administration, Management, Finance, Accounting, Engineering, Architecture
• At least 3-5 years relevant work experience in real estate handled various project.
• Comprehensive knowledge of real estate development processes, including feasibility studies, design, permitting, construction, and project delivery.
