We’re looking for a Fit‑out Coordinator to lead and manage the end‑to‑end fit‑out delivery, from procurement and mobilization through construction, commissioning, and handover, ensuring alignment with quality, schedule, and budget objectives for the refurbishment of a high‑end luxury villa in Badalona
.

The Fit‑Out Coordinator is responsible for leading the end‑to‑end delivery of fit‑out and MEP works, ensuring alignment with project quality, schedule, and budget objectives. This role involves defining scopes, coordinating procurement, managing contractors on site, tracking progress and costs, enforcing HSE compliance, and overseeing all construction activities through to commissioning and handover. The role requires close collaboration with design, procurement, and operational teams, with strong emphasis on market research, contract administration, variation control, and quality assurance.

• Monitor and enforce site performance: lead progress meetings, track construction milestones, manage labor, trades, logistics, and supply chain flows to maintain efficient sequencing.
• Identify, manage, and mitigate risks and issues (schedule delays, design clashes, cost overruns, site constraints); propose remediation strategies and elevate when needed.
• Liaise with procurement / supply chain: coordinate material deliveries, validate compliance of delivered goods to specifications, anticipate lead times, and optimize logistics.
• Report and communicate: prepare regular status reports (progress, financial, risk), present to stakeholders (client, design team, executive management), maintain transparent documentation.
• Lead the close‑out, commissioning, and handover processes: manage punch lists, defects rectification, warranties, O&M documentation, training, and final client inspections.
• Track progress against the agreed schedule and budget, and flag risks early.

• Assist the Project Manager in building overall timeline and scope breakdown.
• Define and manage scope, briefs, time schedules, key milestones and deliverables for fit‑out and MEP subcontractors.
• Research potential contractors, consultants, surveyors and manufacturers and participate in shortlisting and procurement coordination.
• Oversee contractor on‑boarding: review sub‑contractor proposals, assist the project manager with evaluation, communication and bookkeeping.

• Secure all permits, approvals, and regulatory consents needed for interior works and MEP installations; coordinate with authorities, consultants, and local agencies.

• Oversee design development coordination during fit‑out stage: manage shop drawing approvals, RFI responses, change orders, and technical submittals (materials, finishes, fixtures, systems).
• Maintain close coordination with the FFE, interior design, and joinery teams: ensure integration of furnishing, fixtures, equipment, and built‑ins without compromising spatial or design logic.
• Act as the main point of contact between the construction site and the wider project team, including the Head of Construction.
• Ensure that construction on site follows approved project plans, drawings, and specifications.
