About the opportunity
We are supporting a Singapore-headquartered industrial AI company delivering IoT and AI solutions across industrial environments including manufacturing, maritime, aerospace, logistics and infrastructure.
They are looking for a Project Engineer to own customer projects from post-sales handover through deployment, commissioning, customer acceptance and closure.
This is not a pure project-coordination position. You will need enough engineering understanding to challenge assumptions, coordinate technical teams and ensure projects remain commercially and operationally viable.
What you’ll own
- Manage projects from internal handover through final customer acceptance.
- Build and maintain project plans covering:
- scope
- milestones
- resources
- procurement
- site activity
- commissioning
- documentation
- Translate commercial commitments into executable project plans.
- Coordinate Field Engineering, AI/ML, Product, Sales, customers and external vendors.
- Review deployment designs, site surveys, bills of materials and implementation approaches.
- Control timelines, manpower, equipment, logistics and project expenditure.
- Identify cost overruns and project risks early.
- Manage scope changes and variation requirements.
- Lead customer kick-offs, project reviews and technical coordination meetings.
- Manage installation contractors, electrical contractors and system integrators.
- Coordinate site readiness, permits, commissioning and handover.
- Maintain project risk, change, cost and action registers.
- Ensure appropriate technical and project documentation is completed.
The role owns both project execution and commercial controls, including schedule, resources, budget, risk and scope management.
What we’re looking for
- Degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Computer, Industrial Engineering or a related discipline.
- Approximately 2–5 years of experience in areas such as:
- Project Engineering
- Systems Integration
- Industrial Automation
- IoT
- Technology Deployment
- Electrical / Mechanical Projects
- Experience coordinating projects with multiple internal and external stakeholders.
- Strong understanding of project schedules, resources, budgets, risks and scope.
- Ability to read technical drawings, engineering documentation and architecture diagrams.
- Strong customer-facing communication.
- Commercial awareness and ability to balance engineering requirements against cost and project profitability.
- Comfortable managing contractors and vendors.
- Willing to travel internationally when required.
Experience with project costing, quotations, variation orders or commercial project controls is particularly useful.
