  • Enforce Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) protocols, ensuring all site activities comply with statutory obligations and internal safety standards.
  • Leverage BIM and digital engineering platforms to monitor as-built conditions, control change orders, and maintain precise project records.
  • Draft and assess progress claims, variation orders, and technical reports for distribution to the client and key stakeholders.

Requirements

  • A bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Architecture, or a related field.
  • At least five years of post-qualification experience in construction supervision or project management within the building or infrastructure industry.
  • Demonstrated success in overseeing complex, multi-disciplinary projects in Asian markets, with experience in Hong Kong or Malaysia being a plus.

  • Competence in BIM software (e.g., Revit, Navisworks) and project management tools (e.g., MS Project, Primavera P6).
  • Strong analytical abilities and the capacity to make decisive technical decisions under pressure.
  • Valid professional engineering registration or certification is highly preferred.
