Manager - Operations and Projects

We are looking for a battle-hardened Operations Manager to lead our project execution. You will be responsible for taking a project from the "Design Handover" phase to "Final Client Handover."

​Key Responsibilities

​1. Project Execution & Management

• ​Timeline Management: Create and enforce strict project schedules (Gantt Charts). Ensure that "Site A" is finished before the deadline so the team can move to "Site B."
• ​Resource Allocation: Decide daily deployment of labor and machinery. (e.g., "Don't send the tractor to DHA today, send it to the Farmhouse project.")
• ​Quality Control (QC): Conduct surprise site visits to check quality. Ensure masons are laying pavers correctly and gardeners are planting according to the Architect’s drawings.
• ​Problem Solving: Resolve immediate on-site crises (e.g., broken water lines, wrong material delivery, police/DHA stoppage) without needing to escalate every minor issue to the CEO.

​2. Supply Chain & Procurement Oversight

• ​Vendor Management: Negotiate rates with major suppliers (Nurseries in Pattoki, Cement/Sand suppliers, Stone yards).
• ​Material Verification: Implement a system to check the quality and quantity of incoming materials. (e.g., verifying that a truck of "Bhal" soil is actually good quality and not mixed with sand).
• ​Wastage Control: Monitor material usage to prevent theft or waste. Ensure that 100 bags of cement bought = 100 bags used effectively.

​3. Cost Control & Profitability

• ​Budget vs. Actual: Compare the estimated cost of a project against the actual spending in real-time. Alert the Finance team if a project is going over budget before it’s too late.
• ​Labor Efficiency: Analyze labor output. If a task should take 3 days but took 5, investigate why and fix the bottleneck.

​4. Technical Leadership

• ​Design Feasibility: Review Architect drawings before construction starts to flag potential practical issues (e.g., "This tree cannot survive in this corner," or "Drainage is missing here").
• ​Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs): Define technical standards for the team (e.g., Standard mixture ratios for mortar, standard planting depth for trees).

​Qualifications & Requirements

• ​Education: B.Sc. in Civil Engineering, Horticulture, or Construction Management.
• ​Experience: Minimum 7–10 years in Construction or Landscaping.
• ​Must have experience managing multiple sites simultaneously.
