Directing projects every step of the way

Youll develop big ideas that will spark the effective management and successful execution of all phases of a projectfrom initiating to final handover to the client. Youll need to carefully identify and take note of our clients needs, and figure out what exactly needs to be done in a way that meets JLLs commercial objectives. This involves defining the scope of the work and expected outcome, at the same time detailing all the necessary objectives to get there. While you do all of these, youll need to keep tabs on company resources and allocate them effectively to finish projects within budget. From onset to completion of the project, youll represent our clients, helping them organise and analyse tender and procurement for all contractors and suppliers.

Building strong teams and business reputation

One of your main concerns will be to produce high-performing teams that drive successful project execution. Youll need to collaborate effectively with a range of stakeholders, leading from the front while also taking the time to understand their point of view. Youll also represent and promote the company throughout projects, and seize additional opportunities along the road.

Core to our reputation is our strong focus on health & safety and on sustainability, and youll be expected to keep these front-of-mind at all times.
