Meet our project manager, Rabih Jamil 

As we continue to profile the people behind the projects here at Agilité, we’re getting to know more about our Parisian construction manager, Rabih Jamil. An experienced architect, project manager and design coordinator with over a decade of international experience, Rabih is highly skilled in project coordination, technical design, and on-site implementation – so let’s find out what makes him tick…

Hello Rabih! Firstly, tell us what inspired you to join the Agilité team?

I was drawn to Agilité for its international scope and the opportunity to work on complex, high-profile projects across Europe. What really convinced me was the team’s dynamic culture – a blend of collaboration, innovation, and a genuine drive to deliver excellence. It felt like the right place to grow, contribute, and be part of something exciting.

Can you share a little bit about what you do, and the role you play in the delivery of Agilité's projects?

As a project manager, I help to guide projects through every stage – from the very first concept to final delivery. My mission is to make sure deadlines, budgets, and quality targets are not only achieved but exceeded. With a background in design, I bring a creative perspective to technical execution – bridging the two worlds and ensuring design vision aligns with technical precision.

What has been your favourite Agilité project to work on so far?

It’s hard to choose just one, because every project is unique, with its own set of challenges, specificities, and dynamics between clients and subcontractors. But if I had to pick, I’d have to say an office project we completed in Luxembourg, for one of the world's oldest and largest investment management organisations. The level of coordination with both internal teams and the client was exceptional, and the attention to detail – especially with the furniture – made it a truly standout project to work on.

How would you describe our organisation and the work we do to someone who had never heard of Agilité before?

Agilité is an agile, client-focused construction partner with a truly international footprint. We deliver tailored solutions that emphasise quality, sustainability, and seamless execution. What sets us apart is our ability to work closely with multinational clients, adapting to their needs while ensuring every project runs smoothly, on a local level.

What has been your favourite Agilité project to work on, to-date?

Without a doubt, a project for a premier investment management specialist. It’s a pure design-and-build challenge, set in a live environment that includes operational recording studios for France 24. With such strict noise constraints, we need to be incredibly innovative and disciplined. The fact that we’ve been able to keep construction moving without disrupting live broadcasts is something I’m proud of.

In your opinion, what makes Agilité stand out from the crowd? And how do you put your own stamp on that distinction?

Agilité stands out for its adaptability, global reach, and client-first mindset. We don’t simply deliver projects, we build partnerships too. My personal contribution is bringing a strong design sensitivity into every project – ensuring that solutions aren’t only technically sound but also aesthetically aligned with the client’s vision and functional for end users.

Describe a defining moment in your career, and how it has shaped the work you do at Agilité?

Early on, I managed a complex cross-border fit-out where design and construction teams operated in silos. The misalignment caused major challenges. That experience taught me that open communication and stakeholder alignment are absolutely critical. Today, I make it a priority to bring everyone together (clients, designers, and contractors) to ensure smooth and efficient deliveries.

If a dream client were to call, who would it be and why?

Apple. Its relentless pursuit of design excellence, innovation, and sustainability resonates with my own values. The brand demands attention to every detail, and that level of precision perfectly aligns with Agilité’s strengths in delivering high-quality, detail-driven projects.

What one piece of advice would you give to a client looking to expand into a new country, drawing from your experiences and expertise?

Invest time upfront to understand local regulations, culture, and construction practices – and choose a partner that can navigate these complexities seamlessly. This approach saves time, reduces risk, and ensures a smoother market entry.

What excites you most about the future of Agilité? How do you see your role contributing to this vision?

Agilité is expanding its footprint and capabilities across Europe, and I’m excited to contribute by bringing design-driven project management to new markets, helping the company grow while maintaining its standards of quality and innovation.

In what ways do you envision Agilité continuing to lead the way in sustainable practices within the construction industry? How do you personally align with Agilité's sustainability values?

I’m excited about the opportunity to drift more into design management and coordination, as this discipline is key to delivering large-scale renovation projects successfully. Strong architectural coordination during preconstruction and studies saves significant time, helps identify and resolve clashes before execution, and ensures we get it right the first time – an essential factor in maintaining quality and efficiency on major projects.

What industry changes or trends do you think will have the biggest impact on our sector over the coming year?

Greater emphasis on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards, digitalisation of construction processes, and flexible workplace designs will reshape client expectations and project delivery models.

And finally, when you’re not at work, where are we most likely to find you?

Spending quality time with family and friends, exploring new cities, sketching architectural concepts — and not to forget, gaming!
