Franchise Development Manager

About the Role:

We are expanding our franchise network and are looking for a driven and detail-oriented Project Coordinator to manage the end-to-end execution of our franchise store setups — both for existing store upgrades/renovations and upcoming new store launches. This is a hands-on, on-ground role that sits at the intersection of civil execution, vendor management, and cross-functional coordination.

If you have a civil engineering background, love structured execution, and thrive in fast-paced multi-project environments — we want to hear from you.

Prepare and maintain project documentation — BOQs, snag lists, handover reports, and store commissioning records

Track and report project status, risks, and deviations to stakeholders regularly

Budget & Cost Control

Monitor project expenditures and flag cost overruns proactively

Validate contractor invoices and coordinate with finance for timely payments
