Senior Construction Project Manager (Multi-Estate Development Lead)

Lagos Full-time Undisclosed
Job Description
Description



• This Is Not a Site Supervisor Role.

• This is a portfolio-level leadership position.

• Harmony Gardens & Estate Development Limited is scaling aggressively across 11 active estates, and we are looking for a battle-tested Construction Leader who can command multiple sites, enforce financial discipline, and drive execution with zero tolerance for delays, cost overruns, or inefficiency.

• If you have only managed single-site projects, this role is not for you.

• We want a construction executive who thinks in timelines, margins, logistics, risk matrices, and scalable systems.




Your Mission

You will:
• Lead Seven Construction Managers and their engineering teams.

• Control multi-site budgets and enforce strict cost accountability.

• Drive projects from concept to handover — on time and within budget.

• Negotiate hard with contractors to protect margins.

• Eliminate waste, inefficiency, and operational bottlenecks.

• Institutionalize structure, reporting systems, and performance tracking.

• You are not managing tasks — you are managing results, margins, and people.




What Success Looks Like



• Projects delivered ahead of schedule.

• Budget variance tightly controlled.

• Zero regulatory non-compliance.

• High-performing site managers operating under structured KPIs.

• Clear weekly dashboards and executive-level reporting.

• Strong vendor relationships with profitable contracts.




Core Responsibilities

Strategic Project Leadership:
• Define scope, execution frameworks, and milestone structures.

• Develop detailed cost projections using MTO.

• Implement structured project management systems across all estates.

• Forecast risk exposure and build mitigation strategies.




Financial & Contract Control:
• Own and protect construction budgets.

• Negotiate contracts that secure favorable commercial terms.

• Monitor procurement cycles and material flow efficiency.

• Enforce cost control discipline across all sites.




Operational Command:
• Conduct performance reviews of Construction Managers.

• Audit site operations and productivity levels.

• Enforce strict HSE and compliance standards.

• Maintain asset and equipment accountability.




Executive Reporting:
• Present structured progress reports to leadership.

• Provide strategic recommendations for operational optimization.

• Escalate risks early with actionable solutions.




Requirements



• Degree in Civil Engineering, Architecture, Construction Management, or related discipline.

• Strong knowledge of regulatory compliance and permit processes.

• Advanced proficiency in construction planning and project management tools.

• Professional certifications PMP, COREN, etc. are an advantage.

• Hands-on technical understanding of structural, plumbing, masonry, and finishing works.




Who You Are:
• 7–10+ years managing complex construction portfolios.

• Experienced in handling multi-site residential or commercial developments.

• Financially disciplined with strong cost-control experience.

• Highly structured, analytical, and data-driven.

• Confident negotiator who protects company margins.

• Strong personality with the ability to command respect on-site.




Why This Role Matters

This position directly influences:
• Project profitability

• Delivery timelines

• Brand reputation

• Operational scalability.
