Project Head - (Chemical Plant Setup)

Position Requirement – Head Office, Gurgaon

Position Title

Head – Projects & Operations (Head Office)

(Reporting directly to Director, Schnell Builders Pvt. Ltd.)

Location

Head Office, Gurugram — with periodic site visits to Nandurbar (Maharashtra) and Chandrapur (Maharashtra) as required.

Reporting To: Director

Role Summary

• Schnell is executing two new large-value projects simultaneously. The company requires a senior, HO-based professional who can act as a direct extension of the Director — owning both projects end-to-end from Gurgaon, without the Director's day-to-day involvement.
• This is not a coordination role; it is a full-charge role covering planning, execution oversight, recruitment, and all HO-side functions for both projects.

Projects Under Charge

Chemical Plant

Location: Nandurbar, Maharashtra

Value: ₹200 Cr

Type: Agrochemical manufacturing facility

Timeline: 18–22 months

TMT Plant Setup

Location: Chandrapur, Maharashtra

Value: ₹350 Cr

Type: TMT plant setup

Timeline: 18–22 months

Key Responsibilities

Project Planning & Execution

• Own the master execution plan, schedule, and resource plan for both projects from HO
• Track progress against milestones; flag and resolve slippages before they escalate
• Coordinate with site teams, consultants, and clients on technical, commercial, and contractual matters
• Ensure both projects run in parallel without conflict over shared resources (manpower, plant & machinery, vendors)

Recruitment & Manpower

• Independently plan and execute recruitment for both site teams and any HO support roles the projects need
• Build the organogram for each project, define roles, and close hiring within project timelines
• Manage onboarding, deployment, and performance tracking of project staff

Vendor & Subcontractor Management

• Identify, finalize, and manage vendors/subcontractors for both projects
• Negotiate and close commercial terms within approved limits

Commercial & Financial Oversight

• Monitor project budgets, cash flow, and billing (RA bills, client certifications)
• Coordinate with finance/accounts on project-linked payments, advances, and BGs

Compliance & Risk

• Ensure statutory, labour, HSE, and contractual compliance across both sites
• Manage client-side documentation, approvals, and correspondence

Reporting

• Single point of accountability to the Director for both projects
• Structured periodic reporting (progress, risks, financials, manpower) without requiring the Director's direct involvement in day-to-day matters

Candidate Profile

• 12–18+ years in construction/EPC project management, with at least one stint managing multiple large projects simultaneously from a head office (not site-based)
• Proven experience across planning, execution, recruitment, vendor management, and commercial closure — i.e., a generalist who can run a project fully, not a single-function specialist
• Prior exposure to industrial/process plant projects (chemical, TMT, or similar heavy industrial setups) strongly preferred
• Comfortable operating with high autonomy and full ownership; must be able to represent the Director's authority in decision-making
• Strong stakeholder management — clients, consultants, subcontractors, and internal teams
• Based in or willing to relocate to Gurugram, with readiness to travel to Nandurbar and Chandrapur as needed

Nature of Role

This position is designed to function as a direct extension of the Director — handling both projects fully from Gurugram, with authority and accountability equivalent to that of the Director for these two projects.
