Position Requirement – Head Office, Gurgaon
Position Title
Head – Projects & Operations (Head Office)
(Reporting directly to Director, Schnell Builders Pvt. Ltd.)
Location
Head Office, Gurugram — with periodic site visits to Nandurbar (Maharashtra) and Chandrapur (Maharashtra) as required.
Reporting To
Director
Role Summary
Schnell is executing two new large-value projects simultaneously. The company requires a senior, HO-based professional who can act as a direct extension of the Director — owning both projects end-to-end from Gurgaon, without the Director's day-to-day involvement.
This is not a coordination role; it is a full-charge role covering planning, execution oversight, recruitment, and all HO-side functions for both projects.
Projects Under Charge
Chemical Plant
Location: Nandurbar, Maharashtra
Value: ₹200 Cr
Type: Agrochemical manufacturing facility
Timeline: 18–22 months
TMT Plant Setup
Location: Chandrapur, Maharashtra
Value: ₹350 Cr
Type: TMT plant setup
Timeline: 18–22 months
Key Responsibilities
Project Planning & Execution
- Own the master execution plan, schedule, and resource plan for both projects from HO
- Track progress against milestones; flag and resolve slippages before they escalate
- Coordinate with site teams, consultants, and clients on technical, commercial, and contractual matters
- Ensure both projects run in parallel without conflict over shared resources (manpower, plant & machinery, vendors)
Recruitment & Manpower
- Independently plan and execute recruitment for both site teams and any HO support roles the projects need
- Build the organogram for each project, define roles, and close hiring within project timelines
- Manage onboarding, deployment, and performance tracking of project staff
- Vendor & Subcontractor Management
- Identify, finalize, and manage vendors/subcontractors for both projects
- Negotiate and close commercial terms within approved limits
Commercial & Financial Oversight
- Monitor project budgets, cash flow, and billing (RA bills, client certifications)
- Coordinate with finance/accounts on project-linked payments, advances, and BGs
Compliance & Risk
- Ensure statutory, labour, HSE, and contractual compliance across both sites
- Manage client-side documentation, approvals, and correspondence
Reporting
- Single point of accountability to the Director for both projects
- Structured periodic reporting (progress, risks, financials, manpower) without requiring the Director's direct involvement in day-to-day matters
Candidate Profile
- 12–18+ years in construction/EPC project management, with at least one stint managing multiple large projects simultaneously from a head office (not site-based)
- Proven experience across planning, execution, recruitment, vendor management, and commercial closure — i.e., a generalist who can run a project fully, not a single-function specialist
- Prior exposure to industrial/process plant projects (chemical, TMT, or similar heavy industrial setups) strongly preferred
- Comfortable operating with high autonomy and full ownership; must be able to represent the Director's authority in decision-making
- Strong stakeholder management — clients, consultants, subcontractors, and internal teams
- Based in or willing to relocate to Gurugram, with readiness to travel to Nandurbar and Chandrapur as needed
Nature of Role
This position is designed to function as a direct extension of the Director — handling both projects fully from Gurugram, with authority and accountability equivalent to that of the Director for these two projects.
