Façade Performance Engineering
- Apply façade performance requirements covering wind resistance, water tightness, air tightness, thermal performance, materials, and durability into design decisions.
- Plan and oversee performance testing, mock-ups, and verification processes.
- Investigate and resolve façade performance issues arising on-site or during testing.
Design Development & Software Application
- Produce and review façade design models and documentation using Rhino, Grasshopper, and AutoCAD.
- Utilize Revit, Tekla, or other BIM/parametric modelling tools to support complex geometry design and cross-disciplinary coordination.
- Lead node modelling and detailed system coordination for high-complexity façade elements.
Team Leadership & Cross-Functional Coordination
- Lead and manage the façade design team, providing technical review and mentorship to junior staff.
- Manage design subcontractors and coordinate closely with architectural, structural, MEP, and construction teams to ensure integrated design outcomes.
- Act as the key technical point of contact with clients, architects, and consultants, driving issues to resolution.
- Coordinate with the China headquarters/team on cross-border project matters
Construction-Phase Support
- Provide on-site technical support during construction, addressing design changes and technical clarifications.
- Oversee façade performance testing, mock-up reviews, and fabrication/installation coordination with contractors and fabricators.
- Identify and implement design optimizations to support efficient, high-quality construction outcomes.
Communication & Stakeholder Management
- Independently conduct client, architect, and consultant meetings, technical presentations, and email correspondence in English.
- Ensure clear, timely design-document coordination across all project stakeholders and multicultural teams.
Job Requirements
- Minimum Bachelor’s degree or above in Architectural Engineering, Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Façade Engineering or a related discipline. A relevant Master’s degree is preferred.
- At least 12 years of relevant façade design/engineering experience. Experience in major complex façade projects, international projects or design-team leadership.
- Technical Background: Strong experience in concept, detailed and working drawings for complex curved, irregular, large-span, unitised or other high-complexity façade systems; sound knowledge of façade detailing, system selection and construction implementation. Ability to review fabrication drawing and cutting list.
- Familiarity with Singapore building regulations, applicable Singapore Standards / SS EN standards, façade performance requirements and local approval/coordination processes. Knowledge of BCA, SCDF and consultant coordination requirements.
- Familiarity with façade performance requirements including wind resistance, water tightness, air tightness, thermal performance, materials and durability. Experience with testing, mock-ups, performance verification or site issue resolution.
- Relevant Singapore professional registration, façade/building-envelope certification or other recognised industry credentials will be an advantage.
- Software: Proficiency in Rhino, Grasshopper and AutoCAD; familiarity with Revit, Tekla or other BIM/parametric modelling tools. Strong façade system detailing, node modelling and coordination capability.
