Assistant Project Manager
Project & Development Services

1. Supporting the team: You will be working side-by-side with the team to ensure the success of a project – from its initiation to design phase to construction and to completion. The projects are many and varied, including variations in project dollar value and complexity. You will be exposed to Fit-outs & Refurbishments for both Tenants and Landlords in Commercial, Retail, Industrial, Hospitality, and Education.
2. Managing multiple projects concurrently: Do you enjoy multi-tasking? Several projects are ongoing at various stages; hence you will have to coordinate with multiple vendors to ensure no downtime during works. You will be involved in preparing project specifications and project timelines, preparing tender or bid documents, and vendor procurement as well as weekly project reports and updates to be submitted to the stakeholders. Delivering projects within the established budgets and timelines is key!

Sounds like you?

1. Have prior experience in Project Management in a Consultancy environment, or as a Contractor.
2. Engage confidently with internal and external stakeholders and see things from their perspective.
3. Are driven to succeed and love achieving challenging goals.
4. Bring a structured and organised approach to everything they do.
5. Communicate and collaborate to achieve success.
6. Thrive under pressure and deal effectively with tight deadlines and high expectations.

1. Client-centric problem solver: We employ talent from a wide range of backgrounds, though typically you should have a degree in a relevant field, and/or around three to six years’ experience in design, construction, project management in interior fit-out projects for multinational clients. It would be excellent if you have a strong background in all aspects of interior fit-out management—including management on schedule, quality, cost, and risk management, and negotiation, to name a few. Your expertise in surveying a client’s basic needs, completing commercial assessments, and preparing PM proposals will also be put to the test. Your quickness in understanding and dealing with a situation will be indispensable especially in carrying out value engineering, buildability analysis, critical reviews of design and documentation.
2. Business savvy and action-oriented: To excel in this role, you should have a high level of understanding and technical expertise in business. We deliver projects that help our clients succeed as well as help JLL achieve our business and financial goals. Are you well versed in project products, systems, processes, tools, and best practices? Can you handle the site operations no matter how complex it may be? Likewise, you should have a great sense of urgency when it comes to solving problems, improving products or services, finding new markets, and implementing new strategies. You are resilient and can deal effectively with competing priorities and tight deadlines. You should know how to negotiate to generate risk-assessed solutions and how to handle ambiguities.
3. A great communicator with superb organisational skills: Do you have what it takes to lead and motivate your project team members? Are you capable of leading by example and fostering a creative environment? We achieve our biggest success when working together, so clear communication is key, as is collaboration and teamwork. A structured and organised approach with an eye for detail is also crucial, as is being tech-savvy. As the digital leader in project management, we use a range of technology platforms to deliver our projects.

If this job description resonates with you, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet all of the requirements below. We’re interested in getting to know you and what you bring to the table!
