Job Description
Are you ready to become more than just a project coordinator Are you ready to shape the future of retail property
Every Lotus's store begins long before products are placed on the shelves. It starts with identifying the right location, understanding the surrounding community and customer needs, evaluating business potential, negotiating strategic sites, designing functional spaces, selecting appropriate materials, managing construction costs, overseeing project execution, preparing building systems, and successfully delivering a store ready for operation.
Behind every retail store is not just a construction project—it is a series of strategic business decisions that directly impact investment returns, sales performance, customer experience, operational efficiency, and the long-term competitiveness of the business.
