Project Manager Civil

Job Description: Project Manager Construction (Township Project)

Position: Project Manager
Reports to: Project Director / Head Construction
Team managed: Civil/Structural Engineers, MEP Engineer, Site Engineers/Supervisors, QC Team (functionally), coordinates with Procurement and Planning
Location: On-site, full-time presence

Role Purpose

Own execution of the township's physical development translating the master plan and schedule into daily, on-ground construction progress across all active work fronts (roads, infrastructure, boundary walls, amenities), while managing budget, quality, and timeline.

Key Responsibilities

Execution & Delivery

• Drive day-to-day execution across all active zones/sectors — roads, drainage, water/sewage lines, electrical infra, boundary walls, clubhouse/amenities
• Ensure work fronts progress per the master schedule; identify and resolve on-ground bottlenecks (labor shortage, material delay, design clarifications)
• Coordinate simultaneous work streams so dependent activities don't clash (e.g., road-laying vs. underground utility work in the same stretch)

Contractor Management

• Manage multiple contractors/sub-contractors on-site — allocate work fronts, monitor productivity, resolve disputes
• Review and validate contractor progress against agreed milestones before billing certification
• Enforce contract terms — timelines, quality specs, safety compliance

Cross-functional Coordination

• Work closely with the Planning & Scheduling Manager to update progress and re-sequence activities when delays occur
• Coordinate with Procurement to ensure material availability aligns with the execution schedule (no work stoppage due to material shortage)
• Liaise with QC and Safety teams to ensure work isn't just fast but compliant
• Interface with the Liaison/Approvals Manager on anything requiring statutory sign-off before proceeding (e.g., utility connections)

Budget & Cost Control

• Track actual spend vs. BOQ (Bill of Quantities) for each work front
• Flag cost overruns early and work with Procurement on corrective sourcing/negotiation
• Certify quantities of work done (with QS support) before contractor payments are released

Reporting

• Weekly progress reports to the Project Director — physical progress %, schedule variance, budget variance, key risks
• Escalate design issues, land/approval blockers, or resource constraints that need director-level intervention

Team Management

• Supervise Site Engineers/Supervisors — assign work fronts, review their daily site reports
• Ensure engineers are enforcing quality and safety standards uniformly across zones
