Key Responsibilities 1. Engineering Leadership & Technical Governance
• Provide multidisciplinary engineering leadership across all technical workstreams under the PDMC commission • Establish and maintain consistency in engineering approaches, technical positions, and coordination outputs across all disciplines • Ensure robust governance of engineering decisions in line with project objectives and delivery requirements
2. Design Quality & Assurance Oversight
• Oversee the consistency and technical quality of:
• Design reviews • Engineering recommendations • Coordination and integration outputs
• Ensure all engineering deliverables are aligned with relevant codes, standards, and client requirements, including applicable Hong Kong Railway Standards and authority expectations
• Support independent design assurance and compliance processes to ensure designs are fully coordinated, integrated and meet regulatory requirements.
3. Complex Engineering Issue Resolution
• Support the Design Manager and Quality Manager in resolving: • Complex engineering issues • Non-compliances and design deviations • Cross-discipline conflicts and constructability concerns
• Review and endorse technical positions on major design departures, unresolved disputes, and authority-related submissions prior to escalation
4. Integration & Systems Coordination
• Coordinate closely with System Integration, Requirements, RAMS, BIM and Package teams to ensure:
• Engineering outputs are aligned across all disciplines and contracts • Technical requirements are clearly defined, tracked, and traceable • System interfaces and operational constraints are appropriately addressed
• Support multidisciplinary coordination to ensure all designs are fully integrated and consistent across the programme
5. Engineering Compliance & Standards Alignment
• Ensure all engineering decisions and outputs align with:
• Project requirements and technical specifications • Applicable Hong Kong standards and statutory requirements • Authority approval processes and submission requirements • Integrated design and system performance objectives
• Maintain awareness of evolving standards and ensure consistent application across all packages
6. Risk, Constructability & Approval Readiness
• Provide technical oversight on risks related to: • Design integration and constructability • Safety and operational constraints • Authority submissions and approvals
• Ensure engineering solutions are practical, buildable, and aligned with programme and staging requirements
7. Mentoring & Capability Development
• Provide technical mentoring, guidance, and direction to: • Senior discipline reviewers • Package leads and engineering teams
• Build strong engineering capability across the PDMC team, promoting consistency, rigor, and best practice
Key Requirements Qualifications & Experience
• Degree in Engineering or related discipline • Minimum 15 years’ experience in large-scale, multidisciplinary infrastructure projects • Strong experience in design management, engineering assurance, and technical coordination • Prior experience in complex, multi-system environments with stringent regulatory and safety requirements preferred
Technical Competencies
• Deep understanding of multidisciplinary design coordination (Civil, Structural, Building Services, E&M, and systems) • Strong familiarity with engineering assurance processes, compliance reviews, and authority submissions • Experience working within structured design integration and system coordination environments • Knowledge of BIM-enabled coordination and digital delivery preferred
Leadership & Behavioural Competencies
• Strong technical leadership and decision-making capability • Ability to resolve complex multidisciplinary issues • Highly structured and detail-oriented with strong governance mindset • Effective stakeholder management across client, consultants, and contractors
