What You’ll Do:

The Estate & Construction Manager is the Principal's representative on the ground in Cyprus. The role combines hands-on supervision of an ongoing villa construction project and grounds/landscaping development with day-to-day operational management of warehouse, inventory, and supplier relationships.

This is not a developer-side role and not a passive supervisory role. The successful candidate operates with autonomy, negotiates directly with contractors, suppliers and authorities on the Principal's behalf, manages budgets actively, and is the single point of accountability for everything happening on the ground. They are expected to push back, escalate, and deliver, not simply to monitor and report.

Supplier & Vendor Management

• Build and maintain a vetted panel of suppliers, contractors and tradesmen across construction, MEP, landscaping, security, AV/IT, household services and general maintenance

• Verify invoices against quotations and works actually delivered; submit approved invoices for payment by the Principal's finance team
• Hold suppliers accountable to agreed timelines, scope and quality standards; escalate non-performance

 

Reporting & Communication

• Provide a structured weekly written status report to the Principal covering construction progress, landscaping, inventory movements, open issues, and any decisions required
• Maintain an up-to-date project budget tracker showing committed, spent and forecast costs against budget
