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 ten 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, build ability analysis, critical reviews of design and documentation.

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.  

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 team work.

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.
