About this role
We are looking for a technically-grounded Interior Design Assistant Manager to bridge the gap between architectural design and site execution. Unlike a traditional design role, this position focuses heavily on the technicalities of the build—specializing in sub-contractor coordination, material precision (specifically stone and marble), and the management of high-end artisanal finishes. Key Responsibilities1. Project Coordination & Site Management • Oversee the end-to-end renovation lifecycle, from initial hacking and structural works to final handover. • Coordinate and manage specialized sub-contractors (carpenters, stone-cutters, electricians) to ensure seamless site progress. • Navigate HDB/BCA renovation guidelines and ensure all site activities meet Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) standards. 2. Technical Materiality & Quality Assurance • Act as the lead for material verification, specifically for natural stone, marble, and high-end masonry. • Conduct site inspections to ensure that material fabrication (cutting and jointing) aligns with technical drawings. • Implement quality control for "Upcoming Services" including epoxy grouting and artisanal decorative painting (lime wash/Venetian plaster). 3. Planning & Documentation • Develop and maintain project schedules (Gantt charts) to prevent site bottlenecks. • Manage project documentation, including variation orders, site progress reports, and defect rectification lists. • Assist in the technical drafting of interior layouts and construction details. 4. Stakeholder Management Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, providing transparent progress updates and resolving site-related queries. Maintain strong relationships with premium material vendors and sub-con partners to ensure timely procurement. This job description is tailored to the Earthen Builders profile we’ve built. It emphasizes the "technical sub-con" and "specialist stone" side of the business, which differentiates it from a typical "creative-only" interior design role.
