Job description

We are seeking a detail-driven Project Manager to oversee house-building and estate construction works from start to finish. You will own timeline coordination, site progress tracking, material quality control, and vendor/contractor follow-up — acting as the owner's representative on the ground.

This role requires someone who understands construction sequencing inside out, cares deeply about finishing quality, and can represent the property owner professionally with builders, suppliers, and project teams. Travel is project-dependent and occurs approximately once every 1–2 months; locations and duration vary.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage residential construction projects from site mobilization through completion and handover.
• Track overall programme and critical milestones; identify delays early and drive recovery actions.
• Coordinate site activities across structural, architectural, M&E, interiors, landscaping, and specialist trades.
• Monitor material procurement, delivery schedules, and on-site storage/logistics.
• Inspect incoming materials and finishes on arrival; verify compliance with approved samples, specifications, and mock-ups.
• Enforce QA/QC standards and hold-points before critical works proceed.
• Attend site meetings; document progress, issues, and decisions for the General Manager.
• Liaise with architects, consultants, contractors, and suppliers to resolve day-to-day site issues efficiently.
• Support snagging, defect rectification, testing & commissioning, and final handover.
• Travel to project sites as required (frequency: roughly once every 1–2 months; locations vary by assignment).

Requirements

• Degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, Building, or related discipline.
• Minimum 5 years of project management experience in residential, landed-home, villa, or high-end construction projects.
• Hands-on understanding of building workflows: foundations, superstructure, waterproofing, M&E coordination, architectural finishing, joinery, stone/tile works, etc.
• Competent in reading drawings and specifications; able to identify and reject non-conforming workmanship or materials.
• Strong site presence, organizational discipline, and follow-through.
• Comfortable managing multiple stakeholders and ambiguous site situations without constant supervision.
• Fluent in both English and Mandarin — able to coordinate effectively with local teams as well as China-based or regional suppliers and contractors.
• Professional, presentable, and discreet — suitable for a private residential owner environment.
• Willing and able to travel periodically (approx. once every 1–2 months; timing and destination not fixed in advance).
• Singapore construction experience is a plus; regional luxury-residential project exposure is equally valued.
