So, we heard that you want to be a Commercial Project Manager

ROLE OVERVIEW

BuildBuilt’s commercial project managers (PMs) are the heart and conduit of the project.

They need to be strong and confident leaders.

They will pivot between multiple internal and external parties to realise the project’s end result - a space built through relationships, good design and thorough planning.

They will ensure construction sequences are carried out in a safe and orderly fashion within built constraints of budget, timeline, authorities and design brief.

PMs are team players and leaders at the same time. Down to earth, they are armed with the resourcefulness and technical ability to bring ideas to life.

BB’s PMs must be creative problem solvers; they are always thinking out of the box, and having the forward vision and initiative to resolve issues with clients, or on-site.

BB’s PMs have excellent EQ and communication skills. They will need to build good rapport with fellow designers, builders, and customers, and instil confidence in the team.

There will be an expectation, but not emphasis, to assist to generate leads and to invest in Build Built through side projects and assignments given by the company.
