Project Head - (Chemical Plant Setup)

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.
