Join Day One – Shaping the Future of Data Infrastructure

Day One is a global leader in the development and operation of high‑performance data centres. As one of the fastest‑growing companies in the industry, we’ve built a robust presence across Asia and Europe — and we’re just getting started. As we expand into new international markets, we’re looking for talented, driven individuals to join us on this exciting journey. This is more than a job — it’s an opportunity to be a key contributor to our dynamic team and help shape the future of global data infrastructure.

We are looking for an experienced and detail‑oriented CSA Construction Manager to represent the client in overseeing all Civil, Structural, and Architectural (CSA) aspects of a mission‑critical data centre project in Malaysia. This role involves supervising contractors, ensuring compliance with local regulations and design standards, and coordinating closely with M&E teams. The successful candidate may also have the opportunity to support or transition into M&E oversight roles as the project progresses through installation and commissioning phases.

• Project Oversight & Execution Monitoring – Represent the client in overseeing all CSA construction activities, ensuring adherence to design intent, programme, safety, and quality standards.
• Monitor and review the main contractor’s execution of structural, architectural, and external works across all project phases.
• Attend site inspections, technical meetings, and progress reviews to ensure timely delivery of the CSA scope.
• Quality, Safety & Compliance – Ensure all CSA works comply with Singapore’s BCA, SCDF, MOM, NEA, and relevant local codes and standards.
• Review and approve contractor‑submitted QA/QC procedures, inspection test plans (ITPs), and method statements.
• Support environmental health and safety oversight aligned with WSH Act and corporate EHS protocols.
• Coordination with M&E and Cross‑Disciplinary Support – Facilitate coordination between CSA and M&E teams, particularly for builder’s works (e.g. openings, equipment foundations, cable routing provisions).
• Support M&E construction and commissioning phases by managing interface issues and ensuring structural/architectural readiness.
• Opportunity to develop cross‑disciplinary experience and support M&E package oversight for candidates interested in a broader project management path.
• Stakeholder & Contractor Management – Act as the client’s representative on‑site, liaising with the main contractor, consultants, and subcontractors to resolve issues promptly.
• Monitor contractor progress against the master schedule and flag risks or delays to the project manager.
• Participate in change order assessments, cost reviews, and technical clarifications.
• Documentation & Reporting – Review and comment on technical submittals, shop drawings, as‑built documentation, and progress claims.
• Maintain up‑to‑date records of site progress, non‑conformance reports (NCRs), RFIs, and site observations.
• Provide regular updates and reports to the client’s project management and design teams.

• Degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Architecture, or a related discipline.
• Minimum 8 years of CSA experience.
• Strong understanding of CSA‑MEP interfaces; prior involvement in data centre, mission‑critical or semiconductor plant projects is highly advantageous.
