Singapore PERSOL APAC Full time

We're on the hunt for a senior leader in Engineering & Development to drive large-scale mission-critical infrastructure projects across Southeast Asia.

If you've built data centres, led complex engineering teams, and are obsessed with energy efficiency, scalability, and innovation — we want to talk to you.

Focus Areas: Data Centres, Sustainability, Engineering Excellence, Team Leadership

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Leading a team of specialists to design, develop, and deliver next-gen infrastructure across greenfield and brownfield projects.
  • Driving site selection, feasibility studies, and full project execution — from concept to commissioning.
  • Bringing engineering innovation to life — from energy-efficient systems to scalable, sustainable solutions.
  • Partnering with consultants across architecture, M&E, and sustainability to deliver world-class infrastructure.
  • Owning project success from a technical, commercial, and operational perspective.
  • Building and mentoring high-performing teams while collaborating with stakeholders across product, finance, and operations.

What You Bring:

  • 15+ years of experience in Engineering, with at least 10 years in mission-critical infrastructure (data centres, large-scale industrial, or telecom-grade facilities).
  • A strategic mindset and strong technical chops in M&E design, utilities, and project leadership.
  • A passion for sustainable engineering, fault-tolerant systems, and driving efficiency metrics (PUE, WUE, etc.).
  • Exceptional communication skills and the ability to navigate both the boardroom and the project site.

This is not your average engineering role. You'll help shape the future of digital infrastructure for one of the region's most ambitious platforms — backed by serious investment and big growth plans.

If you're ready to lead from the front — and help build the unseen backbone of the digital world — we'd love to connect.
