Kerja Sepenuh Masa, Principle-Partner, Value Creation, Property - Construction di Chin Hin Group Federal Territory - Maukerja

Property, construction and fit-out. Build the operating model of an AI-native built-environment business, from the inside, with the P&L to prove it.

The opportunity

Chin Hin Group is a diversified Malaysian group with listed businesses across the built-environment value chain. We are setting out to make our property, construction and fit-out businesses the most profitable in their markets, and EBITDA is the scoreboard.

We are not hiring advisers to write that plan. We are hiring a small bench of senior operators who will own it: diagnose, decide, deploy and bank the result, with the Group's full transformation programme behind them.

Why this is different from your current role

• You own the outcome, not the deck. The value you create shows up in P&Ls you can name, not in a steering-committee pack.
• Real tech, already in place. An integrated ERP backbone and an AI operating layer are live. You get to use them, not pitch for them.
• Proximity to power. You work directly with the Group Chief Transformation Officer and business CEOs, and present to ExCo. Decisions take weeks, not quarters.
• A launchpad. This bench feeds the Group's next generation of senior leaders.

Role snapshot

• Title: Value Creation Partner / Principal
• Unit: Group Transformation Office
• Sector scope: Property development, construction, fit-out and interiors
• Reports to: Group Chief Transformation Officer, working day to day with business CEOs
• How you work: Small senior pods of 2–4, each leading one or two flagship value cases end to end

The mandate

Rebuild how money moves between design, procurement, site and handover, so that every ringgit of margin we plan is a ringgit we bank.

In practice that means three shifts, each of which you will lead:

1. From cost reporting to cost control. Bring best-in-class discipline to cost planning, tender and procurement: target costs locked at scheme design, variations governed, final accounts closed fast.
2. From project heroics to project certainty. Install stage gates, earned value and cash forecasting so programme and margin risk is visible weeks earlier.
3. From process plus AI to AI plus process. Redesign the work itself around the Group's ERP and AI layer: estimating, tender analysis, progress claims, site reporting and defects run as closed loops, with people handling the exceptions.

What you will own

• Value agenda: Diagnose the value chain from land and feasibility to after-sales; identify where money is earned, lost, or left on the table, and build a ranked, Finance-signed pipeline of value cases.
• Commercial and cost: Lead target costing, value engineering, tender and package strategy, contract administration (PAM, CIDB, FIDIC) and group buying; protect where money is spent, committed, and recovered throughout the project lifecycle.
• Delivery certainty: Put stage gates, earned value and cash forecasting on flagship projects; push prefabrication and offsite where it pays to improve predictability and deliver to plan.
• EBITDA and cash: Turn each initiative into P&L and cash commitments with business CEOs; report monthly to ExCo and hold the business accountable for delivering and banking the results.
• AI and digital: Co-design closed-loop processes and AI agents with Group Digital & AI; process redesign comes before automation, enabling value creation initiatives to scale across the Group.
• Capability: Coach HODs and key users; leave playbooks and KPIs that hold after you move on, embedding lasting capability within the business.

Who we are looking for

You have been the person in the room who knew where the margin was hiding. You are deep in one of the three areas below and fluent in at least one other; we build each pod so that together it covers all three. Nobody is expected to have everything, and we value experience gained on the client, contractor, developer and advisory sides alike.

What you get

• A competitive package, discussed in confidence with shortlisted candidates.
• A performance bonus of up to 12 months' salary. The amount is set by project performance: the EBITDA you verifiably deliver on the value cases you lead.
• Decision rights. Authority to stop, re-tender or re-scope within agreed limits, and direct access to ExCo to escalate the rest.
• The tools on day one. An integrated ERP backbone, an AI operating layer, and the Group Digital & AI team as your build partner.
• Exposure that compounds. A seat at the table where the Group decides how its businesses will run.

Where this leads

This bench is how the Group develops its next senior leaders. Strong performers can move into:

• Group Head of Value Creation
• Leadership roles in the Group's businesses
• A senior role with the potential to report directly to the Chairman

Qualifications

• Professional standing preferred: RICS, RISM (BQSM-registered), CIOB, PMP, or CA/CFA for value-creation profiles.
• Degree in Quantity Surveying, Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, Finance or Business is preferred but not required.
• Typically, 7–10 years for Principal and 10+ years for Partner, though a strong track record matters more than years served.
