Job description

We are offering more than a job; we are offering a partnership to transform your expertise and resources into a shared venture.

About Us & Our Core Strength

We are a Malaysia-based, rapidly growing specialist contractor in earthworks and civil infrastructure. Our foundational and competitive edge lies in our full fleet of owned and operated earthworks equipment (including excavators, bulldozers, motor graders, compactors, dump trucks, etc.) and heavy-duty haulage trucks for sand and aggregate. We own substantial assets and know how to run them efficiently. Now, we invite a genuine hands‑on expert with practical industry resources to join us in deepening our expertise and expanding within the core field of earthworks.

Your Role & Mission

• End-to-End Project Leadership: As the core of our project division, you will have full responsibility for the entire lifecycle of earthworks projects. From technical solutions and cost budgeting to resource allocation, site execution, and final handover, you will be the primary person accountable for our project success.
• Technical Problem-Solving & Cost Control: Leveraging your deep understanding of every phase of earthworks (from soil assessment, excavation planning, cut-and-fill balancing, access planning and site compliance), you will proactively identify and resolve all technical and managerial challenges in a cost‑optimal manner that adheres to budget, ensuring project profitability.
• Resource Integration & Operational Synergy: We particularly value and welcome you bringing your established industry resources. You are encouraged to join alongside closely aligned partners (e.g., site supervisors, foremen) to rapidly form a high‑efficiency team. This ensures your professional experience and operational methods can be seamlessly implemented and generate immediate value on our new platform.
• Operations Optimization: Maximize the utilization of our company's equipment fleet through meticulous scheduling and maintenance planning to achieve the highest possible equipment availability and project profit margins.

We Are Looking For a Partner Who

• Has a background in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field.
• Must possess over 10 years of hands-on project management experience in earthworks within Malaysia, with a thorough understanding of the local market, construction standards, and cost structures.
• Must have a demonstrable and verifiable network of industry resources (such as long-term trusted equipment operators, subcontractors, material suppliers, and project pipelines) and a proven track record of independently leading and successfully delivering multiple complex earthworks projects.
• Is proficient in the entire process of earthworks projects—from estimation, bidding, and planning to close-out—and is especially adept at solving unexpected on-site issues through technical and managerial innovation within strict budgetary constraints.
• Has a strong results-oriented and ownership mindset, driven to get things done and done well, and seeks corresponding rewards.

What We Offer in Return

• Highly Competitive Compensation Package: We provide an attractive fixed salary and performance bonuses that are highly competitive within the industry, comprehensively securing your income.
• Full Authority & Support: You will be granted a high degree of autonomous decision-making power on your projects. The company's management and all equipment resources will serve as your solid backing.
• Freedom to Build Your Team: We support you in bringing trusted core colleagues on board. The company will provide appealing positions for them to ensure team effectiveness.
• A Future of Shared Growth: For partners who prove their value through performance, we are open to establishing long-term incentive mechanisms to plan for mutual development.
