• Experience: Minimum 8–10 years of experience in M&E construction, with at least 5 years in a leadership role on large-scale EPC/EPCM projects (e.g., Data Centres, Industrial Plants, or Infrastructure).
• Technical Skills: Deep knowledge of HT/LT/ELV systems.
• Familiarity with Singapore Standards (SS 638, SS 555, CP 5).
