• Cost Planning & Estimation: Prepare preliminary cost estimates and feasibility studies for new potential properties and fit-out projects (CapEx) to support business decisions.

• Tendering & Procurement: Manage the tender process for interior fit-outs and renovation works. This includes sourcing contractors, preparing tender documentation, analyzing quotes, and negotiating for the best value.

• Contract Administration: Draft and manage contracts with vendors, main contractors, and suppliers to ensure compliance and mitigate risk.

• Vendor Management: Build and maintain a robust database of reliable contractors and suppliers to ensure speed and quality for future projects.

What makes you a great fit: We are looking for someone who loves numbers but also understands the fast-paced nature of a high-growth startup. You are precise, firm in negotiations, but collaborative in spirit.

• Education & Experience: A Degree or Diploma in Quantity Surveying, Building Management, or Civil Engineering with at least 2–4 years of relevant experience.

• Industry Background: Experience in Interior Fit-out (ID), Hospitality, or Residential renovation projects is highly preferred over heavy civil infrastructure experience.

• Technical Skills: Strong knowledge of local construction contract forms (SIA/REDAS) and market rates for materials and labor in Singapore. Proficiency in MS Excel is a must.

• Negotiation Skills: You are comfortable communicating with contractors and suppliers to drive cost efficiencies while maintaining healthy working relationships.

• Agility: You can manage multiple small-to-medium scale projects simultaneously and adapt quickly to changes in a dynamic startup environment.

• Culture Fit: You are result-oriented, authentic, and ready to bring a "can-do" attitude to the team.
