Project Manager
Project and Development Services - Singapore
What this job involves:
Directing projects every step of the way
You'll develop big ideas that will spark the effective management and successful execution of all phases of a project--from initiating to final handover to the client. You'll 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 JLL's 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, you'll need to keep tabs on company resources and allocate them effectively to finish projects within budget. From onset to completion of the project, you'll 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. You'll need to collaborate effectively with a range of stakeholders, leading from the front while also taking the time to understand their point of view. You'll 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 you'll be expected to keep these front-of-mind at all times.

Primary Performance Requirements and Skillsets:
Each Project Management professional is responsible for FIVE distinct areas of performance and expertise. Competence in each and balance of all five is necessary for long-term success. The five areas include:
Critical Thinking
Ensures our ability to objectively provide our services in a manner consistent with the expertise and expectations for which we were engaged. Critical Thinking is the ability to chart a course of action. It results in the development of a perspective or "view" that allows us to speak and act on behalf of our Client. There are five components to Critical Thinking:
Knowing and understanding the Client's values and expectations for any given situation. We realize what is important to the Client and why.
Proactively seeking conflicts and discrepancies within any course of action.
Evaluating conflicts and prioritizing impacts according to our Client's values and needs.
Identifying opportunities to advance the long-term value of our Client's investment by planning a course of action for our work that acknowledges a need for review, evaluation, and incorporation of change.
Developing options and alternatives which reflect all of the above components within each effort.
Client Focus
The open and consistent display of honesty, integrity, and sensitivity that creates and nurtures a Client's perception of true added value. It is not agreement or consensus. Client Focus is concern and commitment. Honesty means telling what you know and admitting to what you don't. Integrity means that we will honor our commitments. We will be very clear as to areas of concern and expectations. Sensitivity means that we understand what the Client needs, wants and feels.
Judgment
The ability to balance specific needs against those of a greater whole. Judgment is "knowing what's important." For an organization, it evaluates the individual goals against those of the company at large. For a project, it assesses the business unit's needs and requests against the client's overall requirements and expectations.
Professionalism
A belief, approach, and demeanor that respects both the needs and goals of the organization and the individuals within it. As professionals within this organization, we are a team, working toward common goals, each bringing a base of knowledge and experience that enhances our ability to perform effectively as a unit.
Skills
Technical Skills - Scheduling, Cost Management, Quality Management, Design Management, Risk Management, Contract Procurement & familiarity with Project Management software.
Non-Technical Skills - Those that are necessary to ensure effective understanding of, and execution within, a dynamic, Client-focused environment. - Written and Spoken Communication Skills, Self motivation, Teamwork, Innovation & Attention to Detail.
Others
Base building or Asset Enhancement work experience is preferred
To apply you need to be:
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 five 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.

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.
