coordinating the interfaces needed for tenant fit-out, network deployment,
testing, commissioning, and final handover.

learnings, and corrective actions.
Vendor & Performance Management: Manage contractor and vendor performance,
ensure scope compliance, and provide structured provider evaluation inputs for
continuous improvement.
Reporting & Stakeholder Management: Run site cadence (daily/weekly), provide
executive-ready updates, maintain action/issue registers, and escalate blockers
quickly.
Site Presence and Travel: This is a site-based role in Singapore requiring
strong on-the-ground leadership throughout the project lifecycle, with up to 25%
travel as required for project delivery.

(variations, claims, EOTs, progress validation) with clear records and evidence.
Tools & systems: Strong reporting capability and familiarity with
document/project platforms such as Aconex, Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud,
SharePoint, or similar.
