Vendor & Contractor Management • Identify, evaluate, and empanel vendors and contractors across regions for joinery, civil, MEP, lighting, and signage. • Build and maintain strong vendor relationships to ensure cost, quality, and delivery standards. • Benchmark pricing and materials to continually improve value and speed of execution. 4. Budgeting & Cost Control • Prepare and manage store-wise CAPEX budgets and value-engineer where necessary. • Negotiate vendor contracts and ensure timely billing and closure. • Track project costs versus estimates and recommend cost-saving initiatives. 5. Coordination & Stakeholder Management • Work closely with the COO, Retail Operations, and Brand teams to align on store pipeline and priorities. • Serve as the point of contact for all architectural and technical coordination. • Prepare project status reports and maintain documentation for management reviews.
