Mechanical & Electrical Engineer

About the role

Drive the operational reliability, asset performance, and technical innovation of all Mechanical & Electrical infrastructure across the highway network, toll plazas, and Rest & Service Areas (R&R). Operating within a lean and agile engineering department, this role requires a proactive problem-solver who takes full end-to-end ownership—from contract preparation and payment administration to hands-on site verification and vendor management.

Key responsibilities

• Execute and continuously optimize Preventive Maintenance (PM) schedules and Corrective Maintenance (CM) to maximize asset lifespan and eliminate unexpected downtime
• Manage all primary highway M&E assets, including toll plaza power infrastructure, UPS units, diesel generator sets, high-mast lighting, LED streetlights, CCTV power networks, and Variable Message Signs (VMS)
• Oversee mechanical utilities across R&R sites and laybys, including Sewage Treatment Plants (STP), water booster pumps, and fire protection systems
• Lead site audits and regular night patrols to pre-emptively identify electrical defects, dark stretches, or operational risks
• Draft, review, and prepare Technical Specifications, Scope of Work (SOW), and Contract Agreements for M&E maintenance, upgrading, and repair works
• Perform rigorous verification of work done on-site to ensure contractor deliverables strictly match approved drawings, method statements, and quality standards
• Evaluate contractor progress claims, variation orders (VO), and measure site quantities to prepare and certify accurate Interim Payment Certificates (IPC) for management approval
• Identify operational inefficiencies and propose cost-saving, energy-efficient initiatives (e.g., solar PV retrofits, smart lighting controls, or remote monitoring systems)
• Supervise third-party contractors strictly against contract terms, Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and safety standards
• Lead emergency response efforts during power outages, system failures, or accident damages to restore normal highway operations rapidly

About you

• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical, Electronic, or Mechanical Engineering from an accredited university
• 3–5 years of M&E engineering experience within highway concessions, infrastructure, or heavy facilities management—including direct experience in contract drafting and payment certification
• Proactive self-starter with a strong commercial sense, comfortable managing both technical site operations and contract administration in a lean team
• Proficient in LV electrical systems, gensets, HVAC, STP, LLM/ST regulations, contract management, and measurement of works
• Registration with BEM or possession of a Suruhanjaya Tenaga (ST) Chargeman Certificate (A4/B0) is a strong advantage
• Valid driving license (D); willing to conduct night audits and respond to on-call duty rotations
