Our client is an international design and build firm seeking an experienced Construction Project Manager to lead site delivery for a construction project in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. This 12-month assignment offers a Malaysia-based professional the opportunity to take ownership of day-to-day construction activities, working closely with international and local teams to deliver the project through to completion and handover.

As such, they are looking for a technically competent and decisive professional with a strong background in site management. Reporting to the Project Director and senior management, you will coordinate contractors, subcontractors, consultants, and the wider project team, ensuring that works are delivered safely and in accordance with approved drawings, specifications, contractual requirements, and applicable local standards.

You will play a key role in managing the construction programme, identifying critical-path activities, and implementing practical recovery plans where required. This will include coordinating labour, materials, equipment, and work sequencing, resolving site constraints, and driving progress through regular site meetings and clear accountability. You will also oversee inspections, testing, commissioning, close-out documentation, and handover activities.

Quality management and defect rectification will be central to the role. You will oversee corrective works, track defects and non-conformances through to closure, and manage interfaces between contractors to minimise rework. Maintaining a visible site presence, you will promote strong health, safety, and environmental practices while providing clear reporting on progress, quality, procurement, risks, and matters requiring management decisions. You will also support cost and change control by identifying potential variations, scope gaps, and delay-related impacts.

The successful candidate will hold a degree in Civil Engineering, Architecture, Construction Management, or a related discipline, with a minimum of 15 years’ experience as a Project Manager and a strong focus on construction site management. A proven track record in hotel, office building, and/or commercial building projects is essential, together with experience managing complex building works through to completion and handover.

You will bring strong planning, communication, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to lead site teams, coordinate multiple subcontractors, and resolve issues under programme pressure. Fluency in both written and spoken English and Mandarin is essential for effective communication with local stakeholders. Experience working overseas or within a multicultural project environment would be advantageous.

The remuneration package is inclusive of food and local transport, with a completion bonus equivalent to one month’s remuneration. Shared, furnished accommodation will be provided, and the company will fully cover and manage employment visa costs and registration. Flight arrangements include an economy flight from Malaysia to Taiwan at the start of employment, a return ticket after six months, and a final return ticket to Malaysia upon project completion or the end of the contract.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced construction professional to take on a hands-on international assignment, providing the site leadership, technical oversight, and delivery discipline needed to bring a complex project to successful completion.
