  • Remote Operations Support: Provide robust remote technical support and coordination to ensure seamless delivery, customs clearance, and installation of imported systems by the Middle East site team.


Requirements:

  • Industry Experience: 20+ years of progressive leadership experience in the MEP construction sector, with a proven track record in the Chinese/East Asia high-rise hotel market.
  • Technical & Innovation Expertise: Strong background in high-rise building services combined with practical familiarity with integrating advance technologies such drones, or automated tools on active job sites.
  • Sourcing Network: An active, extensive network of trusted MEP vendors and suppliers across Mainland China.
  • Communication & Location: Complete fluency in Mandarin and English to negotiate with local factories and collaborate with international stakeholders; must be willing to be based in Hong Kong or Mainland China or Middle East with regional travel for site meetings, inspection, and audits
