• Commercial Alignment: Work alongside Sales and Marketing team to structure commercial proposals, ensuring technical solutions are financially viable, constructible, and aligned with capacity phasing plans.
• Cross-Border Collaboration: Act as the technical liaison between the Singapore commercial teams and Malaysia project delivery teams, ensuring seamless transition from pre-sales design to post-sales execution.
