About Us

Modular Building Technology (MBT)

intuitive, resilient, scalable

Intense & Scrappy

The Role: Own the Space Between Design, Factory & Site

not

• Designs are

  buildable

• Factory production is

  aligned & unblocked

• Site execution is

  flawless & predictable

• Projects remain

  profitable

• Teams move

  in sync

  without friction
• Issues are

  solved early

  and permanently

fully aligned, execution-ready packages

Key Responsibilities

1. Front-End Engineering & Feasibility (Digital Factory Site)

• Break down project concepts into

  clear engineering inputs

  for design, factory and site.
• Validate feasibility early tolerances, module sizing, access, sequencing, logistics.
  
• Drive design freeze and ensure all teams have clarity before production begins.
  
• Create and maintain simple, intuitive

  installation and coordination instructions

  .

2. Project Orchestration & Execution Clarity

• Act as the

  single point of accountability

  connecting design, manufacturing, procurement, logistics, and site teams.
• Run project kickoff sessions with assumptions, risks, and alignment questions.
  
• Monitor dependencies, track progress, unblock teams, and escalate intelligently.
  
• Ensure every deliverable meets

  factory-ready

  quality and

  site-ready

  clarity.

3. Profitability, Budget Control & Risk Intelligence

• Compare

  Budget vs Actual (BvA)

  across materials, labor, logistics, rework, and timelines.
• Identify engineering or process root causes for variances.
  
• Implement early-warning signals to catch overruns before they occur.
  
• Drive continuous improvements to improve predictable project margins.
  

4. Issue Resolution & Cross-Team Accountability

• Solve conflicts between teams with clarity, empathy, and speed.
  
• Design says manufacturing is asking too many changes
  
• Manufacturing says design is not buildable
  
• Site says installation sequence is unclear
  
• Create never again systems and processes for recurring issues.
  
• Maintain a high bar for communication and documentation.
  

5. Process Building & Standardisation

• Build SOPs for design freeze, factory release, installation readiness, RFIs, etc.
  
• Implement checklists & coordination frameworks that scale.
  
• Build dashboards or trackers for clarity (materials, timelines, dependencies).

Required Skills & Experience

Technical & Operational Skills

• Strong understanding of

  Modular Construction

  workflows
• Clear understanding of

  manufacturing constraints

  and

  site execution logic

• Ability to foresee problems before they reach production or site
  
• Excellent coordination, planning, and critical path management skills
  
• Strong analytical skills (costing, BvA, timelines, data-driven decisions)

Experience

• 310 years in

  project coordination, front-end engineering, modular/precast construction, offsite manufacturing, or integrated construction delivery roles

  .
• Experience working closely with design, manufacturing, and site teams.
  
• Experience handling project budgets, cost tracking, and risk mitigation.
  

Mindset & Personality

• High agency: you dont wait you drive clarity.
  
• Nothing is someone elses problem mindset.
  
• Thrives in fast, intense, dynamic environments.
  
• Structured thinking, exceptional communication.
  
• Comfortable taking responsibility and making decisions with imperfect information.
