In this role, you will:

Lead On-Site Execution: Serve as the primary delivery lead for a large-scale data center program and dedicated utility substation, coordinating matrixed PM, design, and controls teams.

Control Budgets & Governance: Manage project financials, oversee change orders, and ensure commercial adherence to internal governance and Delegation of Authority frameworks.

8+ years of project management experience in large-scale construction, with a proven track record delivering complex infrastructure projects (data center MEP/CSA experience highly preferred).

Strong knowledge of Malaysian or Singaporean construction ecosystems, local supply chains, contractor markets, and labor dynamics.

Practical experience coordinating utility grid connections or substation builds, ideally with direct TNB process familiarity.

A Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or a related technical discipline (PMP or BEM certifications preferred).

Full professional proficiency in English; fluency in regional languages is an advantage for engaging local authorities.
