Project Engineer – Structural & Temporary Works Leader

WORKPLUS RECRUITMENT CENTRE PTE LTD; Singapore; On-site; SGD 90,000 - 130,000; Full time

Job summary

WORKPLUS RECRUITMENT CENTRE PTE LTD is seeking an experienced engineer to study and interpret structural, architectural, and M&E drawings, identify coordination gaps, and resolve design clashes on site in Singapore.

You will develop method statements, prepare short-term programmes, coordinate RFIs, and drive value engineering while maintaining safety and quality across all temporary works and site activities.

Responsibilities

• Study and interpret structural, architectural, and M&E drawings in detail, identifying coordination gaps, constructability concerns, and design clashes before work commences on site
• Develop method statements and work sequences for complex structural and architectural works, ensuring construction logic is sound, safe, and efficient
• Prepare and maintain short-term construction programmes tied to the master programme, identifying critical path activities and proposing recovery measures when milestones are at risk
• Coordinate with consultants and the design team on technical queries, managing the RFA/ RFI process to achieve timely and documented design decisions
• Identify technical challenges on site — whether related to ground conditions, structural interfaces, sequencing conflicts, or material constraints — and propose practical, engineered solutions rather than waiting for instructions
• Support the Project Manager in preparing and responding to technical submissions, including temporary works designs
• Actively participate in value engineering exercises during the pre-construction and construction phases, contributing ideas that reduce cost, improve buildability, or shorten the programme without compromising structural integrity, safety, or design intent
• Contribute to post-project reviews by documenting successful engineering solutions and lessons learned for application in future projects
• Ensure all temporary works — including falsework, formwork, shoring, and excavation support — are designed, checked, and approved by a competent person
• Participate actively in weekly safety inspections and toolbox meetings, reinforcing a culture where safety and quality are non-negotiable at every level of the team
