• Prepare and manage costing sheets, budgets, and cost control measures to ensure projects are delivered within approved budget

• Track project progress rigorously using project tracking tools/systems, identifying variances early and taking corrective action

• Serve as primary point of contact for clients — providing regular updates, managing expectations, and resolving escalations promptly

• Engage, coordinate, and manage subcontractors and vendors, ensuring performance aligns with project timelines, quality, and safety standards

• Proactively identify project risks, bottlenecks, and technical/operational issues, applying resourceful problem-solving to keep delivery on track

• Coordinate cross-functionally with engineering, procurement, and site teams to remove delivery blockers

• Ensure all projects comply with safety, quality, and regulatory requirements

• Prepare and present project status reports, forecasts, and financial summaries to management and clients

• Lead project closure activities, including client acceptance, documentation handover, and lessons-learned reviews

Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree in Telecommunications, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Construction Management, or related field

• Minimum 8–10 years' experience in OSP/ISP fiber optic/telecom infrastructure projects, with at least 3–5 years in a Project Manager role

• Proven track record of delivering fiber/telecom infrastructure projects on time and within cost

• Strong command of project tracking and management tools (MS Project, Primavera, Excel-based trackers, or similar)

• Solid experience preparing costing sheets, budgets, and commercial/financial project documentation

• Excellent client-facing communication skills — able to manage expectations and build trust with stakeholders

• Strong experience managing and engaging subcontractors and third-party vendors

• Resourceful, solutions-oriented mindset with strong troubleshooting and decision-making ability under pressure

• Solid understanding of FTTx/OSP/ISP technical fundamentals (design, implementation, testing, acceptance)

• Strong leadership, negotiation, and organizational skills

• Willing to travel for site visits within Johor and surrounding regions

Good to Have

• PMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent project management certification

• Prior experience with telco operators or system integrators in Malaysia
