With a 50+ team of multidisciplinary engineers, the company is a leading independent green building engineering company active worldwide (South-East Asia, China, Africa, and Latin America).
The company operates on the whole building life cycle, from design (green building specifications, energy efficiency design and calculation, etc.) to operation and maintenance (energy audits, certifications in operation, ).
Its capabilities include the following:
Sustainable Design Solutions for new constructions and renovations
Environmental Certification Management for new construction and existing buildings (LEED, Greenmark, BREEAM, WELL, etc.)
Low-carbon design (LCA, sustainable materials)
Building Simulations (Thermal Modeling, Daylight Simulations, CFD, etc.)
Energy Audits
Specific Studies (Carbon Footprint Study, Life Cycle Assessment, etc.)
Energy management (ISO 50 001, IPMVP, etc.)
Job responsibility:
Under the responsibility of the Singapore/Malaysia/Indonesia Operations Manager, the Sustainable Building and Industry / Energy Efficiency Engineer participates in the company's projects in South-East Asia, with a focus on industrial facilities and covers the following main tasks:
Building Simulations
Prepare building simulations through the use of professional software tools, such as:
Preliminary and detailed building energy models (DesignBuilder, IES-VE)
Computational fluid dynamics simulations (DesignBuilder, Ansys) to assess indoor operating conditions for occupant health, safety, and comfort and process conditions;
Data analytics in support of several types of technical studies.
Technical Studies
Building envelope and MEP systems evaluation for greenfield and brownfield projects with specific building performance and construction budget goals
Energy audit services requiring performance impact estimates of proposed energy efficiency measures in existing buildings
Monitoring-based commissioning services requiring data visualization to spot faulty operations in HVAC operational trends
Low carbon consultancy services combining operational and embodied carbon footprint evaluation, and associated environmental impact-lowering measures
Project Reports and Communication
Review plans, documentation, and contractor submittals for compliance with requirements
Complete construction field visits to review progress, verify compliance with goals, and solve field issues
Perform on-site energy audits for existing facilities
Identify, present and discuss performance improvement options meetings with clients
Prepare logically organized, technically accurate, and clearly presented emails, memos and reports
Learn best-practice fundamentals and implementation strategies for high-performance building enclosures, mechanical and plumbing systems, zero energy features, low-carbon materials, etc.
Grow into a project management role, acting as the main point of contact for clients, tracking schedules and deliverables, producing or delegating as needed to get the work done, and integrating a diverse array of knowledge to provide insightful information to clients.
