Description
As a member of the Global Real Estate & Facilities (GREF) team overseeing corporate office space, this position will lead Workplace Design & Construction (D&C) projects in Japan. This role combines team leadership with deep design, project management, and construction management expertise, while maintaining a customer centric approach. We seek a Construction Manager who demonstrates proven success in a fast-growing real estate organization delivering large scale corporate office projects on time and on budget.
