About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Introduction
Are you the kind of person who thrives on seeing a vision come to life, right down to the finishing touches? We’re currently searching for a seasoned Project Coordinator/Manager to join our team in Abu Dhabi, Al Husn. This isn’t just another construction job — you’ll be at the heart of high-quality interior fit out projects, with a special focus on BIM and bespoke joinery. If managing multiple moving parts (and subcontractors) is your idea of a good day, you might just be who we’re looking for.
About the Company
We’re a tight-knit, passionate team dedicated to transforming spaces across the UAE, one project at a time. What makes us different? For starters, we genuinely care about craftsmanship — the small details matter just as much as the big picture. Our office vibe is collaborative, energetic, and a little bit obsessed with creative problem-solving. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself swapping site stories over coffee, or brainstorming solutions with colleagues who’ve become friends. Here, Friday project walkthroughs are a must, and celebrating a job well done isn’t just encouraged — it’s expected.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Overseeing interior fit out projects from inception to handover, ensuring every detail meets our exacting standards.
- Coordinating multiple subcontractors simultaneously, keeping everyone on track and aligned with project timelines.
- Utilizing your BIM expertise to streamline project planning, execution, and communication — it’s your secret weapon for efficiency.
- Managing all aspects of joinery works, from technical drawings through to installation — you know the difference between good and great craftsmanship.
- Conducting regular site visits to monitor progress, troubleshoot issues, and maintain our standard of quality.
- Liaising with clients, architects, and suppliers to keep everyone in the loop and projects moving forward.
- Maintaining up-to-date project documentation and reports — because details matter.
- Identifying risks and resolving them before they become problems, always thinking two steps ahead.
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves:
- At least 5 years of UAE-based experience in project coordination or management within the interior fit out sector.
- Proven expertise in BIM (Building Information Modeling) and joinery — both are non-negotiable.
- A track record of handling multiple subcontractors and complex schedules without breaking a sweat.
- Strong communication skills, both with teams on-site and stakeholders off-site.
- A proactive, solution-oriented mindset.
Nice-to-Haves:
- Familiarity with Abu Dhabi regulations and local suppliers.
- Experience with luxury or bespoke fit outs.
- Working knowledge of Arabic.
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.

- Competitive salary tailored to your experience and skills.
- Residency visa sponsorship — we handle the paperwork so you can focus on the work.
- Join a team that values quality, creativity, and mutual support over hierarchy and red tape.
- Opportunities to lead high-profile projects that challenge and inspire you.
- A collaborative, informal culture where your ideas really do make a difference.
