SENIOR SALES ARCHITECT
SENIOR RETAIL DESIGN & FIT-OUT PROJECT LEAD
Singapore | Full-Time Profloorz International Pte Ltd / Ideall Group
We are looking for an experienced Retail Design & Fit-Out Project Lead to join our growing team in Singapore. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who understands the complete journey of a retail project — from concept and design through BOQ, costing, procurement, manufacturing, site execution and final handover. We are looking for someone who can take end-to-end ownership of projects and coordinate designers, clients, suppliers, contractors and production teams to deliver projects on time, within budget and to a high standard.
THE ROLE
You will be responsible for managing retail and commercial interior projects from initial brief to completion. Key responsibilities include:
- Lead projects from concept/design development through final handover
- Understand client briefs, brand guidelines and commercial requirements
- Develop and review concepts, layouts, 3D presentations and design proposals
- Prepare and manage BOQs, costing, quotations and commercial closures
- Coordinate procurement, materials, suppliers and manufacturing
- Work closely with internal production and external contractors
- Manage site execution, programme, quality and installation
- Coordinate multiple projects and priorities simultaneously
- Identify potential problems early and implement preventive solutions
- Monitor project budgets, timelines and variations
- Conduct site inspections and coordinate rectification/snags
- Manage client communication and expectations throughout the project
- Ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget and according to approved design
- Coordinate final handover and financial/project closure
THE IDEAL CANDIDATE
We are looking for someone with strong practical experience in retail interiors and fit-outs , rather than someone whose experience is limited to design alone. You should have:
- 8+ years of relevant experience in retail design, interior fit-out, project management or design & build
- Proven experience managing projects from design to execution
- Strong understanding of retail interiors, fixtures, millwork and construction
- Experience with BOQs, costing, procurement and vendor management
- Strong project planning and programme management skills
- Ability to read and understand technical drawings and specifications
- Strong coordination skills across designers, contractors, suppliers and clients
- Commercial awareness and cost-control ability
- Excellent problem-solving and decision-making skills
- Ability to work independently and take ownership
- Strong communication and client-management skills
- Willingness to be hands-on with site and project execution
YOUR ADVANTAGE
Experience working with fashion, jewellery, lifestyle, hospitality, luxury or branded retail environments will be highly valued. Experience with multi-location rollouts, fixtures, furniture, millwork and manufacturing will be an added advantage.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
We are looking for a person who can say: “Give me the project — I will take ownership from brief to handover.” You should be commercially minded, organised, design-sensitive and comfortable moving between the client, design team, factory, suppliers and construction site.
WHY JOIN US?
You will have the opportunity to work across Singapore and international markets and be involved in a wide variety of commercial, retail, hospitality and lifestyle projects. This is an opportunity to become a key member of a growing organisation where your ability to build relationships, solve problems and deliver projects will have a direct impact on the business.
