JOB RESPONSIBILITY
Work with architects, structural / civil / mechanical / MEP engineers, contractors, site managers, and possibly regulatory bodies (e.g., Building and Construction Authority, etc.) to understand what software is needed: for scheduling, project management, BIM (Building Information Modelling), facilities management, safety monitoring, sensor/IoT integration, etc.
Translate business/operational/site needs into functional and technical requirements.
Design \& System Architecture
Design software systems that can integrate with BIM models, CAD drawings, IoT devices, sensors, data from field (e.g. construction site), etc.
Plan for scalability, robustness, reliability (construction environments may have connectivity, ruggedness, safety, regulatory constraints).
Ensure compliance with Singapore’s building codes, safety regulations, data privacy, etc.
Implementation / Coding
Develop modules for e.g. site monitoring, progress tracking (with GIS/BIM), safety compliance dashboards, documentation management, defect tracking.
Integrations \& Data Flows
Integrate with other systems: CAD/BIM tools (Revit, AutoCAD, Tekla, etc.), project management tools, scheduling tools, ERP, etc.
Handle data ingestion from field: site reports, sensor data, inspections, photos, etc.
Testing, Field Validation \& QA/QC
Test in lab and (crucially) in the field, because real site conditions (weather, noise, connectivity) introduce unpredictability.
Quality assurance, performance testing, safety, reliability.
Deployment \& Maintenance
Deploy applications (web, mobile, cloud, on-prem if required) used by site personnel, contractors etc.
Maintain software, fix bugs, update features, manage versions.
User Training \& Support
Train site staff, engineers, contractors in using the software / tools.
Provide support, troubleshoot issues arising on site.
Education Qualification : Diploma in Engineering Computer Technology.
Documentation
Document design, APIs, user manuals.
Maintain record of changes, version control, configuration.
Regulatory Compliance \& Safety
Ensure software helps meet regulatory requirements in Singapore (building codes, safety, environmental).
Ensure data security, privacy.
Continuous Improvement / Innovation
Propose improvements: automation, use of AI / ML (for defect detection, predictive maintenance, schedule optimization), IoT / sensing, digital twins, etc.
Stay updated with Singapore’s built environment smart initiatives (e.g. push for more digitalization, prefabrication, PPVC, modular construction).
Project Management \& Collaboration
Work in cross-functional teams. Communicate progress to project managers, site leads.
Use Agile or other development processes. Manage deliverables and timelines.
