Facilities Engineer

We are seeking a proactive and hands-on Facilities Engineer to oversee the maintenance, reliability, and continuous improvement of building infrastructure and critical facility systems.

The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in civil and structural engineering, combined with practical experience in facilities operations, HVAC, and electrical systems. This role requires someone who is comfortable being on-site, identifying potential issues, troubleshooting technical problems, and working closely with contractors and internal stakeholders to ensure safe and efficient facility operations.

Key Responsibilities

Civil & Structural Maintenance

• Conduct routine inspections of building structures, concrete works, drainage systems, and surrounding grounds to identify defects, deterioration, and maintenance requirements.
• Verify actual site conditions against existing technical drawings and coordinate updates where necessary.

On-Site Operations & Troubleshooting

• Take a hands-on approach to daily facility operations, including site investigations, technical troubleshooting, and resolving infrastructure-related issues.
• Ensure timely follow-through on identified issues, from initial assessment through to resolution.

Contractor & Project Management

• Coordinate with architects, contractors, vendors, and internal stakeholders to execute maintenance and modification works.
• Review technical drawings, blueprints, and structural plans to ensure compliance with relevant building codes and regulations.

Preventive Maintenance & Safety

• Develop and implement preventive maintenance programs to improve equipment reliability and minimise operational downtime.
• Ensure all maintenance and engineering activities comply with Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) requirements.

Mechanical & Electrical Systems

• Oversee the operation, troubleshooting, and maintenance of HVAC systems, including Air Handling Units (AHUs), chillers, and air distribution systems.
• Monitor and maintain electrical infrastructure, including high- and low-voltage distribution systems, lighting, and backup generators.

Facilities Improvement & Project Execution

• Identify opportunities to enhance facility efficiency, reliability, and operational performance.
• Prepare technical scopes of work and manage infrastructure improvement projects from planning through completion, ensuring adherence to budgets and timelines.

Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering, Building Services Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• Minimum 3–5 years of hands-on experience in facilities engineering, building maintenance, construction, or site operations.
• Strong understanding of civil and structural maintenance, with practical exposure to building infrastructure and site works.
• Working knowledge of HVAC systems, particularly AHUs and chillers, as well as electrical distribution systems.
• Familiarity with Building Management Systems (BMS), electrical single-line diagrams, and HVAC operating parameters.
• Proficiency in reading and interpreting technical drawings, blueprints, and structural layouts using AutoCAD or equivalent software.
• Knowledge of local building regulations and Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) requirements.

Key Competencies

• Detail-Oriented: Able to identify early signs of structural defects, equipment abnormalities, and potential system failures.
• Hands-On & Proactive: Comfortable working on-site alongside technicians and contractors, taking ownership of issues through to resolution.
• Strong Problem-Solving Skills: Able to assess technical challenges, identify root causes, and implement effective corrective actions.
• Stakeholder Management: Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across internal teams and external partners.
• Critical Thinking: Demonstrates sound technical judgement, analytical thinking, and the ability to develop practical solutions to complex engineering issues.
