Job description

The Project Manager – Luxury Fit-Out at IFZA Dubai is responsible for leading the end-to-end delivery of high-end residential villa and premium hospitality fit-out projects across Dubai. This senior-level role oversees the full project lifecycle, from mobilization and pre-construction planning through execution, final handover, and account closure. The Project Manager ensures that projects are delivered to the highest standards of craftsmanship while meeting strict timelines, contractual obligations, and budget requirements. The role requires deep expertise in luxury fit-out execution, including bespoke architectural finishes, custom joinery, marble and stone works, decorative ceilings, façade elements, and specialty finishes. The position also involves close coordination of MEP systems (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, ELV, AV, and smart systems) with architectural and fit-out works to ensure seamless integration and resolution of interfaces prior to final closures. The Project Manager acts as the primary point of contact for clients, consultants, developers, and authorities, leading progress meetings, inspections, snagging processes, and final handover documentation. Strong commercial acumen is required to manage cost forecasting, subcontractor progress certification, variation orders, and final account settlement without compromising quality or design intent. The role is suited to a results-driven professional with at least 8 years of progressive experience in the UAE luxury fit-out market, ideally within Tier 1 contractors, PMC environments, or as a client representative.
