• Drive commissioning readiness and handover: test packs, SAT/FAT evidence, as-builts, O&M manuals, training, and turnover to operations.

• Lead document control governance: version control, approvals, traceability, registers, and audit-ready dossiers.

• Manage contracts and commercial change: scope compliance, variations, EOTs, claims, and progress claims support (with QS/commercial teams).

• Run project cadence and reporting: weekly updates, RAID logs, action tracking, escalation of blockers, executive-ready reporting.

What we’re looking for (must-have)

• 5+ years delivering data center construction and/or mission-critical infrastructure.

• Strong experience in construction execution, document control, and contract administration.

• Proven ability to manage contractors/vendors on tight schedules with complex dependencies.

• Strong understanding of MEP/critical systems delivery and construction-to-commissioning handover.

• Proficiency with project/document platforms (e.g., Aconex, Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud, SharePoint) and strong MS Office skills.

• Must be Malaysia-based, preferably Johor Bahru.

Nice to have
