Job Description

About the Role

We are seeking a highly capable and visionary General Manager to lead the planning, development, and construction of industrial park projects in Malaysia. This is a key leadership role responsible for driving the entire project lifecycle—from master planning and infrastructure development to delivery and handover of ready-built factories, build-to-suit facilities, and industrial lots.

The ideal candidate must have strong experience in large-scale land development, industrial infrastructure, and stakeholder management, with the ability to balance commercial viability, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance.

Key Responsibilities

1. Master Planning & Design Coordination

• Lead the master planning and conceptual design of industrial parks in collaboration with planners, engineers, and architects.
• Ensure that infrastructure planning (roads, drainage, sewerage, utilities, TNB substations, water supply) aligns with project feasibility and market needs.
• Oversee all authority submissions and approvals (planning, earthworks, infrastructure, building plans) with relevant agencies.

2. Project Delivery & Construction Management

• Take full ownership of project execution, from earthworks and infrastructure installation to factory construction and handover.
• Monitor construction progress, quality standards, and safety protocols across all phases.
• Ensure timely delivery of industrial lots, ready-built factories, and built-to-suit facilities.

3. Commercial & Cost Control

• Oversee project budgeting, cost estimation, and cash flow forecasting.
• Review tender recommendations, contract awards, and variation orders to ensure commercial viability.
• Monitor procurement strategies to ensure alignment with project timelines and quality expectations.

4. Stakeholder & Team Leadership

• Lead and coordinate internal teams including project managers, engineers, planners, and contracts personnel.
• Liaise with external stakeholders—consultants, contractors, utility providers, government agencies, and joint venture partners.
• Foster a collaborative, results-oriented culture focused on delivery excellence and operational efficiency.

Key Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, Architecture, or a related field.
• Minimum 10–15 years of experience in the construction and property development industry, with at least 5 years in a senior leadership role.
• Proven track record in delivering industrial parks, large-scale infrastructure projects, or factory developments in Malaysia.
• Strong understanding of land development, infrastructure design, authority submissions, and construction methodologies.
• Hands-on experience in project planning, budgeting, contract administration, and site execution.
• Excellent leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
