ALT_Manager of Engineering dept.

About the Role

Manager of Engineering dept. is a senior technical leadership role within the Director of Technology pillar. This position will serve as the operational technical lead for all BMS projects in Thailand, bridging design, construction, and quality — while building and developing the engineering team beneath you.
This is not a customer-facing sales or requirements role. Your focus is entirely on technical execution, team capability, and operational clarity — ensuring that every project is delivered to specification, on schedule, and to the highest standard.

1. Technical Decision-Making & Quality Ownership

・Take overall technical ownership of BMS system design, construction, and commissioning across all Thai projects
・Review and approve drawings, system configurations, and construction plans
・Lead technical resolution of on-site issues, defects, and non-conformances
・Establish and enforce design standards and technical quality benchmarks

2. Team Leadership & Capability Development

・Directly manage PM(s), System Architect(s), Facility Engineers, Site Managers, and Site Engineers as the team grows
・Conduct structured performance evaluations and capability assessments for all technical team members
・Develop team competencies through mentoring, knowledge transfer, and process standardization
・Drive recruitment decisions and onboarding for technical hires in collaboration with HR

3. Reporting & Operational Transparency

・Prepare and deliver a weekly technical status report to the Aeterlink Thailand management team (MD and Director of Technology)
・Maintain project dashboards covering schedule, technical risk, and quality metrics
・Escalate issues proactively and propose corrective actions with clear timelines

Out of Scope (Handled by Others)

・Customer-facing requirements adjustment with local Thai clients — handled by the BizDev/PM team
・Technical requirements coordination with Japanese clients or Japan HQ — handled by the Director of Technology and Japan-side PMs
