About the Company
Wilson Composites India LLP specializes in the design, engineering, and manufacturing of custom architectural fiberglass (FRP) and GFRC products for the commercial construction industry.

Job Summary:
We are looking for a detail-oriented and driven Installation Project Coordinator or Jr Project Manager to join our team on a full-time basis. Reporting to the Project Manager, this person takes full ownership of a project the moment fabricated panels and components arrive on the US construction site — managing everything from site readiness through to final handover and punch list closure. This is a remotely coordinated role based in India, requiring strong communication skills, US construction knowledge, and the ability to manage an on-site installation superintendent, subcontractors, and direct labor crews across multiple concurrent projects. Starting with GFRC and FRP facade systems, this role will expand to cover all installation projects as the business grows.
Key Responsibilities
Site Ownership & Execution
Take full ownership of the project from the moment fabricated panels and materials arrive on the US construction site — this is your handover point and your project from that moment forward
Manage the complete on-site installation process through to final handover, including installation superintendent direction, subcontractor coordination, and direct labor crew oversight
Monitor daily site progress against the installation schedule, identifying issues proactively and resolving them before they impact the critical path
Ensure site readiness before material arrival — access clearance, equipment mobilization, scaffold setup, embed verification, and safety induction all confirmed in advance
Track material receipt, unloading, stacking, and storage on site to ensure panels are handled correctly and available when needed
Coordinate with job site superintendents on quality control gates, budgets, timelines.
GC & Stakeholder Communication
Serve as the primary point of contact for the General Contractor's Project Manager — maintaining a professional, proactive, and solution-oriented relationship always
Attend (remotely) and lead site coordination meetings with the GC, resolving open issues, RFIs, and site conflicts in a timely manner
Produce and distribute accurate, on-time progress reports to the GC PM and internal leadership — daily updates where required, weekly summary reports as standard
Manage all site-level documentation including daily reports, installation logs, change order records, RFI responses, and inspection records
Escalate commercial, technical, or schedule issues to the Project Manager with a clear summary and recommended course of action
Schedule & Resource Management
Work closely with the Project Scheduler to maintain an accurate installation schedule — providing site-level inputs on progress, constraints, and look-ahead requirements
Manage on-site resource allocation — ensuring the right crew size, equipment, and subcontractor availability is in place at every phase of the installation
Identify and flag resource conflicts, site delays, or scope changes to the Project Manager and Project Executive with sufficient lead time for corrective action
Coordinate logistics with the India team on shipping schedules, panel sequencing, and site delivery windows to ensure installation continuity
Quality, Snag & Handover
Oversee on-site quality checks — alignment verification, grouting, joint treatment, and floor-by-floor inspections against approved shop drawings and specifications
Manage the water leakage test, final QA inspection, and consultant walkthrough process through to sign-off
Own the snag identification and rectification process — ensuring all punch list items are closed out before practical completion is declared
Compile and submit as-built documentation, O&M manuals, warranty documentation, and the final completion certificate at project close
Lead lessons learned at project close-out, feeding insights back to the India engineering and scheduling teams to improve future projects
Qualifications :
2–4 years of experience in construction project management, with direct exposure to facade, cladding, or architectural panel installation on commercial projects
Demonstrated experience managing installation crews, subcontractors, and direct labor on active construction sites — US commercial construction experience strongly preferred
Strong understanding of facade installation sequencing — steel brackets, aluminum frames, panel fixing, grouting, joint treatment, and waterproofing
Experience working with or managing General Contractors on US commercial projects — understanding of GC reporting standards, RFI processes, and changing order procedures
Proficiency in project scheduling tools — ability to read, update, and contribute to Primavera P6 or MS Project schedules
Proficiency in Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud (Forma) or similar
Strong written and verbal communication skills in English — able to produce professional reports, lead coordination meetings, and represent the company confidently with US stakeholders
Comfortable working remotely across significant time zone differences — ability to align with US East and West Coast project teams as required. must be willing to work hours that closely relate to US job site hours, especially Monday and Tuesdays.
Familiarity with GFRC, FRP, or architectural precast facade systems is a strong advantage
Experience with QA/QC processes, snag management, and formal handover procedures
Proficiency in MS Office, project reporting tools, and document management platforms
