Project Management & Execution

The Senior Manager will assume full ownership of fit out projects from conception through completion, managing MEP and C&I scope elements. This includes developing comprehensive project plans, establishing timelines and budgets, coordinating design and construction activities, ensuring quality standards and compliance with building codes and regulations, and delivering projects on schedule and within approved budgets. The role encompasses managing project documentation including drawings, specifications, contracts, and as-built records.

Stakeholder Coordination & Collaboration

Strong coordination with the operations team is essential to assess and minimize operational impact during project execution. The role requires close collaboration with the Technology team for IT infrastructure integration and systems alignment, security management, the Facility Management team including Property and Hospitality, and the Critical Systems team to maintain uptime and reliability of mission-critical infrastructure.

Facility Management Integration

A fundamental understanding of facility management operations and best practices is required. The position involves coordinating closely with the operations team to understand building systems, maintenance requirements, and operational constraints. The Senior Manager will ensure project designs consider long-term maintainability and operational efficiency while supporting the transition from project delivery to operational handover with comprehensive documentation and training.

Technical Oversight & Quality Assurance

Responsibilities include conducting technical reviews of design documents, specifications, and contractor submittals, ensuring compliance with engineering standards, safety regulations, and industry best practices, performing site inspections and quality audits throughout project execution, and managing commissioning activities and performance testing of new installations.
