Site Supervision & Execution

• Supervise site works during engineering hours to ensure compliance with method statements, drawings, specifications and quality standards.
• Monitor progress on site and adjust work sequence where necessary to ensure completion within the possession window.
• Conduct joint inspections with client / operator representatives when required.
• Verify and record completed works (measurements, photos, checklists) for progress reporting and claims.

Safety & Compliance

• Ensure all works comply with Workplace Safety & Health (WSH) requirements, LTA / rail operator safety rules, and project-specific safety procedures.
• Check that workers are briefed on risk assessments and safe work procedures prior to starting work.
• Enforce use of proper PPE and safe practices in tunnel, track and station environments.
• Participate in safety walks, toolbox meetings and incident reporting / investigations when required.

Documentation & Reporting

• Prepare and update nightly work plans, method statements and checklists.
• Maintain accurate site records, including manpower deployment, equipment usage, deliveries and as-built information.
• Submit daily / nightly reports on work done, issues encountered and follow-up actions.
• Assist the Project Manager in preparing progress reports, work programs and technical submissions.

Technical & Interface Management

• Review drawings and technical specifications; highlight discrepancies and propose solutions.
• Coordinate interfaces between civil, structural and M&E works to avoid clashes and rework.
• Support testing & commissioning (T&C) activities, including coordination of shutdowns, trials and functional tests.
• Work with design / monitoring teams to support structural health monitoring, inspections and remedial works.

Requirements

• Degree or Diploma in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Mechanical / Electrical Engineering, or related discipline.
• 0-5 years of relevant working experience in construction, infrastructure, rail, tunnelling or building projects; fresh graduates with strong interest in rail / tunnel works are welcome.
• Comfortable with regular night work (11:00pm - 5:00am) and weekend / public holiday work as required by the project.
• Basic understanding of construction methods for civil, structural and M&E works. Experience in rail / MRT / tunnel projects is an advantage.
• Familiarity with WSH requirements and safe work practices in confined spaces and live rail environments is preferred.
• Proficient in MS Office; experience with planning / coordination tools (e.g. MS Project, Primavera) is an advantage.
• Good written and verbal communication skills in English; able to coordinate with multi-national site teams and subcontractors.

Personal Attributes

• Strong sense of responsibility and safety awareness.
• Hands-on, willing to be present on site throughout engineering hours.
• Able to work under time pressure within tight possession windows.
• Good teamwork and coordination skills, with the ability to manage multiple trades on site.
• Positive attitude, willing to learn rail and tunnel maintenance / upgrade work.

Location: Singapore (tunnels & MRT stations)

Working Hours: Predominantly night shift during engineering hours (typically 11:00pm - 5:00am), with occasional day work for meetings and coordination as required.
