Chief Executive Officer

• Senior leadership experience in Hong Kong or Greater China, and keen to return to Asia?
• Proven P&L leadership of an engineering, M&E or building-services contracting business?

An established, diversified engineering and building-services group is seeking an accomplished Chief Executive Officer to lead its next phase of growth and transformation.

Building on strong engineering contracting foundations, the business is moving toward a more integrated, service-led model. That means more higher-value technical services, lifecycle and maintenance work, smart building and energy solutions, and recurring revenue.

This is an opportunity for a commercially astute, hands‑on leader to shape the future of a complex, multi‑business organisation, strengthen operational performance and build sustainable, profitable growth.

With full accountability for business performance, strategy and organisational development, the CEO will be responsible for:

• Strategic growth: Developing and executing the growth strategy, strengthening the core project business and building services and recurring revenue.
• Commercial performance: Improving margins, project delivery and customer relationships, and developing higher-value offerings.
• Operational excellence: Driving productivity, standardisation and performance across multiple business units, while embedding digital capabilities.
• Leadership and transformation: Building a high‑performing leadership team with strong accountability and collaboration.

We are seeking a CEO, Managing Director, Country or Regional GM, or equivalent senior leader from building technologies, M&E engineering, infrastructure or technical services.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate:

• Significant leadership experience in Hong Kong or Greater China. This is essential.
• Proven full P&L leadership of a substantial engineering, M&E or building-services business.
• A track record of profitable growth, margin improvement and transformation, ideally including building a services or digital business.
• Strong commercial judgement and long‑term relationships with developers, institutions and public‑sector clients.
• Experience of strategic partnerships, acquisitions or business integration.
• The ability to combine strategic vision with a hands‑on, customer‑facing leadership style.

This appointment offers the chance to lead a substantial, established business through an important phase of change, with a clear mandate to strengthen its competitive position and create long‑term value.
