Role Summary

We are hiring an Interior Project Manager to lead on-site execution of yacht interior fit-out. This role acts as the key bridge between the Client/Owner, the Shipyard, and the Interior Contractor, ensuring that interior scope is delivered on time, to specification, and at the expected quality level.


Key Responsibilities

Site Execution & Coordination

  • Manage day-to-day on-site interior works (joinery, panels, ceilings, floors, upholstery, stone/metal/glass applications, finishing)
  • Coordinate shipyard teams, interior contractor crews, and subcontractors to maintain smooth workflow
  • Verify installation quality and progress against drawings, specifications, and agreed method statements

Client / Shipyard / Contractor Interface (Bridge Role)

  • Serve as the primary point of contact for interior topics between Client/Owner representatives, Shipyard project team, and Interior firm
  • Lead coordination meetings in English; document decisions, actions, and deadlines
  • Clarify technical details, align expectations, and resolve conflicts quickly and professionally

Planning, Reporting & Risk Control

  • Build and maintain the interior execution plan aligned with the overall project schedule
  • Track progress, constraints, and critical path items; escalate risks early with mitigation plans
  • Provide structured weekly reports (progress, issues, material status, next-week plan)

Quality & Change Management

  • Ensure interior deliverables meet quality standards and acceptance criteria
  • Manage punch lists, snagging, rework coordination, and close-out readiness
  • Control changes: assess impact (time/cost/quality), document approvals, and coordinate implementation

Materials & Readiness

  • Follow up on interior materials/equipment readiness with procurement/logistics teams and the interior contractor
  • Coordinate access, sequencing, protection, and handover readiness with shipyard stakeholders


Requirements

  • Minimum 7 years experience in interior fit-out project management (yacht/boat interiors is a strong advantage; luxury residential/hotel fit-out acceptable)
  • Proven track record managing site execution and subcontractor coordination
  • Advanced English (spoken and written) — able to run meetings, write reports, and manage stakeholders
  • Strong understanding of interior fit-out details, joinery/installation logic, tolerances, and finishing quality
  • Strong leadership, follow-up ownership, and problem-solving in a fast-paced environment


Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience working directly with Owner/Client reps and shipyard teams on live builds
  • Familiarity with ERP-based tracking, documentation discipline, and structured planning tools
