• Diploma or degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Construction Management or a related discipline. Candidates with substantial relevant site experience will also be considered.
• At least 8 years of construction site experience, including at least 3 years leading site teams as a Construction Manager, Site Manager or equivalent.
• Proven experience managing subcontractors and concurrent work activities on MEP or industrial construction projects.
• Strong practical knowledge of HVAC/ACMV installation, including ductwork, piping, equipment installation and associated service interfaces.
• Ability to coordinate multidisciplinary installations and identify clashes, sequencing issues and access requirements.
• Experience in cleanrooms, semiconductor facilities, data centres, pharmaceutical facilities or industrial manufacturing projects is a strong advantage.
• Ability to read construction drawings, coordinated services drawings, specifications and installation details.
• Practical knowledge of site safety, quality inspections, construction methods and testing and commissioning requirements.
• Experience preparing short-term schedules, tracking manpower and productivity, and implementing recovery actions.
• Strong leadership and communication skills, with the confidence to address subcontractor performance and site issues.
• A proactive, disciplined and hands-on approach suited to a growing organisation.
• Willingness to be based at project sites across Malaysia and work according to project execution requirements.

What you’ll receive for the great work you provide:

• A competitive salary commensurate with your experience and capabilities.
• Applicable statutory contributions and leave entitlements.
• The opportunity to lead site teams and deliver technically challenging construction projects.
• Direct collaboration with project leadership and senior management.
