Project Engineer

TRUST RECRUIT PTE. LTD.; Singapore; On-site; SGD 48,000 - 78,000; Full time

Job summary

TRUST RECRUIT PTE. LTD. in Singapore seeks a Civil/Structural Engineer with 1 to 3 years of site experience to study and interpret drawings, identify coordination gaps, and resolve design clashes before construction starts.

You will develop method statements, plan short-term programmes, and coordinate with consultants to ensure timely design decisions. Additionally, you will manage RFAs/RFIs, support technical submissions, and contribute to value engineering while upholding safety and quality

Qualifications

• Candidate must have a Bachelor’s Degree/Professional Degree in Engineering (Civil) or equivalent.

Responsibilities

• Study and interpret structural, architectural, and M&E drawings; identify coordination gaps, constructability concerns, and design clashes before work commences on site.
• Develop method statements and work sequences for complex structural and architectural works; ensure construction logic is sound, safe, and efficient.
• Prepare and maintain short-term construction programmes tied to the master programme; identify critical path activities and propose recovery measures when milestones are at risk.
• Coordinate with consultants and the design team on technical queries; manage the RFA/RFI process to achieve timely, documented design decisions.
• Identify technical challenges on site—ground conditions, structural interfaces, sequencing conflicts, or material constraints—and propose practical, engineered solutions.
• Support the Project Manager in preparing and responding to technical submissions, including temporary works designs.
• Participate in value engineering exercises during pre-construction and construction phases; contribute ideas to reduce cost, improve buildability, or shorten the programme without compromising safety or design intent.
• Identify opportunities for standardisation, prefabrication, or Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) approaches to improve productivity and reduce waste.
• Contribute to post-project reviews by documenting successful engineering solutions and lessons learned for future projects.
• Ensure all temporary works—falsework, formwork, shoring, excavation support—are designed, checked, and approved by a competent person.
• Participate in weekly safety inspections and toolbox meetings to reinforce safety and quality at every level of the team.
