Job description

What you will do:

Overall responsibilities include project delivery, smart building systems integration, stakeholder management, procurement, testing and commissioning, risk and compliance, and team leadership.

Project Delivery & Construction Coordination

• Manage full project lifecycle from design coordination through construction, system installation, integration, testing, commissioning, and final handover.
• Coordinate with main contractors, architects, MEP consultants, civil teams, and trade contractors to align technology scope with construction schedules.
• Lead delivery of ELV, ICT, and smart building systems within complex construction programs.
• Ensure technology works are fully integrated with architectural, structural, and MEP provisions (containment, power, space, access, and safety).

Smart Building & Technology Systems Scope

• Building Backbone Networking and structured cabling (copper & fiber).
• Data centre rooms, network rooms, risers, and zoning.
• Network redundancy, segregation, and cybersecurity considerations.
• IoT & Smart Subsystems such as smart toilets, smart lockers, and access‑control enabled assets, occupancy and environmental sensors, edge devices, gateways, and cloud connectivity.
• Building Management & Control Systems: BMS / IBMS integration (HVAC, lighting, power, metering, alarms), integration with ELV systems (CCTV, access control, PA, intercom), and vendor coordination for proprietary and open‑protocol systems (BACnet, Modbus, MQTT, etc.).
• Digital & Enterprise Solutions: digital twin platforms, FM/CAFM/CMMS integrations, analytics dashboards, KPI reporting, command centres, and handover to FM operators and asset owners for operational readiness.

Stakeholder, Consultant & Vendor Management

• Act as the single point of accountability between client, consultants, contractors, and system vendors.
• Manage specialist technology contractors and system integrators.
• Lead coordination workshops, technical reviews, and site meetings.
• Manage RFIs, design clarifications, shop drawings, and method statements related to smart systems.

Commercial, Contract & Procurement Management

• Manage project budgets, cost tracking, change orders, and variations related to technology scope.
• Oversee procurement of equipment, software, licences, and specialist subcontractors.
• Evaluate vendor proposals and manage commercial negotiations.
• Ensure contractual compliance with construction contracts, subcontracts, and service agreements.

Testing, Commissioning & Handover

• Plan and manage system integration testing (SIT), user acceptance testing (UAT), and commissioning activities.
• Ensure all systems operate as an integrated ecosystem rather than stand‑alone solutions.
• Lead documentation delivery: as‑built drawings, test results, O&M manuals, and cybersecurity requirements.
• Oversee training for client, FM teams, and operators.
• Support smooth transition from construction project to operational / managed services phase.

Risk, Safety & Compliance

• Identify construction and technology‑related risks early and implement mitigation plans.
• Ensure compliance with WSH / construction safety, regulatory, cybersecurity, and data protection requirements.
• Manage interface risks between construction progress and technology installation.
• Maintain strong quality control across installation and system performance.

Team Leadership & Governance

• Lead multidisciplinary project teams including project engineers, system specialists, and site coordinators.
• Establish clear governance, reporting cadence, KPIs, and escalation paths.
• Drive accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement across teams.

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Information Technology, Building Services, or a related discipline.
• Strong technical foundation in ELV, ICT, or building systems.
• PMP or equivalent project management certification.
• BCA Construction Safety Course for Project Managers.
• Green Mark Manager, WiredScore, SmartScore, or similar smart building credentials.
• 10+ years of experience managing construction‑related technology or system integration projects.
• Strong background in smart buildings, ELV, BMS, IoT, ICT infrastructure, or digital construction solutions.
