Project Manager

Role Purpose

The Project Manager is Molethu's single point of accountability at the site. The role owns overall delivery of the PMC mandate programme, cost, quality and client relationship and is the primary interface between the client, the Molethu HO, and all site-level contractors and vendors.

Key Responsibilities

• Own overall project delivery against the programme for civil, structure and finishing works.
• Chair weekly site progress meetings and ensure Minutes of Meeting (MOM) are circulated within 24 hours.
• Review and approve the daily progress reports compiled by the Site Engineer before client circulation.
• Drive contractor coordination — work order issuance, sequencing, and resolution of site-level conflicts.
• Oversee RA bill certification and extra-item verification prepared by the Billing Engineer before client submission.
• Monitor overall budget performance against the approved project cost and flag variances early.
• Lead punch-list closure, as-built drawing compilation, and structured handover to Sunstar's operations team at completion.
• Escalate risks, delays, or scope issues to Molethu HO and the client promptly, with a recommended course of action.
• Remain deployed for one additional month beyond the 8-month construction period for billing and financial closure.
• Liaise with the HO-based Project Coordinator, who monitors project progress and audits RA bills centrally.

Qualifications & Experience

• B.Tech in Civil Engineering.
• 14–15 years of experience in construction project management, with prior exposure to factory/industrial builds preferred.
• Demonstrated ability to run a multi-contractor site independently with minimal HO supervision.
• Strong client-facing communication and commercial/contract awareness (RA bills, variations, work orders).
