Role purpose The Project Head will own the end-to-end delivery of the company's large residential projects — from design and approvals through construction, handover and defect liability — on time, within budget and to the highest quality and safety standards.

This is a newly created leadership role. Beyond delivering the current ₹1,000 Cr development, the Project Head will build the company's in-house project management capability: the team, systems, processes, contractor and vendor ecosystem, and controls that allow it to scale to multiple projects in future.

Key responsibilities

1. Project delivery and execution

- Lead end-to-end execution of large residential projects (high-rise towers, townships, gated communities), including civil, structure, finishing, MEP, infrastructure, landscaping and amenities.
- Deliver projects to the committed schedule, budget, quality and RERA timelines.
- Drive mobilisation, sequencing and site logistics; resolve execution bottlenecks quickly.
- Ensure smooth handover to customers, including snagging, OC/CC readiness and defect liability management.

2. Building in-house capability

- Design the project organisation structure and hire, lead and mentor a high-performing team of project managers, planning, QA/QC, MEP, billing/QS and safety professionals.
- Establish project management systems, SOPs, reporting formats and governance frameworks from the ground up.
- Reduce dependence on external PMCs over time, while managing consultants effectively where they are retained.
- Introduce up-to-date construction practices — mechanisation, formwork systems (e.g.



aluminium formwork), precast where relevant, and digital project tools (ERP, Primavera/MS Project, BIM).

3. Planning, cost and commercial control

- Own the master construction schedule and detailed micro-plans; track progress against milestones.
- Prepare and control project budgets, cash-flow forecasts and cost-to-complete; drive value engineering without compromising quality.
- Lead contracting strategy, tendering, negotiation and award of major contracts in partnership with procurement.
- Oversee contractor billing, variations, claims and contract closure.

4. Design and approvals coordination

- Work closely with architects, structural, MEP and landscape consultants to ensure designs are buildable, cost-efficient and delivered on time.
- Coordinate with liaison teams on statutory approvals (building plan, environment, fire, utilities, OC) and RERA compliance.

5. Quality, safety and sustainability

- Set and enforce quality standards, inspection and test plans, and material controls; ensure audit-ready QA/QC documentation.
- Drive a zero-harm culture with robust EHS systems across all sites.
- Implement green building practices (IGBC/GRIHA) aligned with the Group's sustainability heritage.
