Position Overview:  
 
The Store Design & Construction Manager is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of UNIQLO’s new store development projects – from early feasibility assessment through final handover to store operations.  This role oversees design coordination, construction execution, budget and schedule management, and cross-functional collaboration with internal teams, landlords, and external partners to ensure projects are delivered on time, on budget, and to UNIQLO’s quality standards.
 
Key Responsibilities:

  • Evaluate proposals and select general contractors and architects based on scope, cost, timeline, and qualifications.
  • Review and approve detailed construction plans, schedules, permitting processes, and deliverables from general contractors.
  • Ensure architectural and construction documents meet all UNIQLO operational, design, and quality requirements.
  • Coordinate the timely delivery of all owner-furnished items in partnership with relevant internal stakeholders.
  • Proactively identify and escalate risks related to cost, quality, or schedule to prevent overruns.
  • Lead site visits and walkthroughs throughout the project lifestyle, from initial costing through final handover.
  • Collaborate closely with local architects and contractors to resolve on-site issues efficiently.
  • Ensure compliance with all applicable local building codes, safety regulations, and jurisdictional requirements.
  • Conduct final inspections with the general contractor to confirm readiness for store opening, including quality, code compliance, and maintenance standards.
  • Lead post-projects reviews, analyzing budget and schedule variances, identifying root causes, and implementing process improvements.
  • Own accountability for project outcomes, including clear documentation and explanation of variances.
  • Approve and process invoices in a timely manner in coordination with the Store Development Management Control team.
  • Perform other duties as reasonably assigned.
What You Bring: 
  • Minimum 10 years of experience in retail construction, store development, architecture within Canada.
  • Strong knowledge of architectural, engineering, and construction standards.
  • Proven project management experience in construction and design environments.
  • Formal project management training required; architectural or PM certification preferred.
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD, SketchUp, or similar design software is an asset.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously across varying levels of complexity.
  • Experience working in multicultural and cross-functional environments.
  • Understanding of UNIQLO’s brand positioning and customer expectations.
  • Strong aesthetic sensibility with a high level of attention to detail and quality.
  • Knowledge of flagship and standard retail store requirements.
  • Familiarity with the Canadian retail or construction market is an asset.
  • Results-driven mindset with strong ownership and accountability.
  • Solid business judgment and financial acumen.
  • Positive, high-energy, and collaborative working style.
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
  • Comfortable building processes from the ground up and taking initiative in fast-paced, lean team environments.
What We Offer: 
  • Competitive salary, performance bonus, and comprehensive benefits.
  • A high-visibility role with collaboration across global and regional executive teams.
  • Career growth in a company that values ambition, innovation, integrity, and performance.
  • A results-driven, entrepreneurial culture where your decisions drive real business impact.
  • Work in a modern office that is easily accessible by public transportation.
