Assistant Project Lead -
Project and Development Services – Corporate Solutions (Kolkata /India)
What this job involves:
Sitting on top of all design projects
You’ll manage and lead design activities and make sure that everything is on track within the appropriate budget. To ensure high-quality work, you’ll need to collect clients’ requirements and fully understand them. You’ll then build proper design management procedures that match the clients’ every want and need, and closely work together with the design team to stave off any gaps or mix-ups. You’ll plan and drive report meetings with clients and relevant government authorities. Part of your job scope is to drive and manage value engineering—from beginning to end. You’ll make sure that you coordinate with designers to string the design program along with the procurement. In this role, answering questions such as, “Which specific hold points need specific client decisions during design development?”; “How can I better manage and keep track of design changes?” and “What can I do to ensure smooth handover?” will help you develop and implement a sound game plan.
Pushing things in the right direction
In this role, you’ll need to be able to face tough design challenges head on. You’ll need to work out a practical design and match master schedules that work. You will keep an eye on the design team’s performance and make sure that they’re up to speed toward successful project completion. On top of these, you’ll be responsible for spotting delay risks and warning the project manager in advance, so you both can find a way to set things in order.
Meeting business needs to a tee
Passion for excellence is what gives JLL an edge in the industry—and we want someone to be as driven as we are. In this role, you’ll support our country manager in handling all business development concerns. You’ll also be in charge of updating and maintaining capability statements and documents related to our Project and Development business in country, including company-wide communications, statistics, case studies and process documents.
Likewise, you will work closely with regional marketing and communications teams on matters related to business development, corporate branding, marketing collaterals, presentations and others. This job also calls for exceptional people skills, as you’ll manage and collate customer satisfaction surveys, hold update meetings, and conduct at least 40 hours of individual training per year.
Unlocking business opportunities
Do you have an eye for potential opportunities? As the person in charge, we want you to be on the lookout for business opportunities for our PDS business in country. You’ll help unlock these prospective projects by working on service proposals, presentations slides and documents to be used in client pitches. Your role is also central in securing projects and developing pipeline for future endeavours.
Sound like you? To apply you need to be:
An active practitioner
You have a degree in architectural, civil engineering, MEP engineering, or related discipline or field, or a mix of formal education and work experience of more than 15 years spent on design, construction or project management. You should also be well-versed in design management.
A business expert with administrative skills
You should know how to win new clients in both international and domestic markets. Having a know-how of design contracts, commercial negotiations, market analyses and marketing processes will also be crucial to this role. To up your game as a design manager, you’ll need a strong technical background and expertise in MS Project, MS Excel, MS Word and/or other scheduling software. Familiarity with AutoCAD gives you the competitive edge.
A confidence builder
Are you a leader who knows how to inspire your team members? You should also be a well-balanced professional who nurtures and develops his/her relationships with clients and consultants.
