Engineering Manager

The Engineering Manager plays a critical leadership role within the PDMC team, providing multidisciplinary engineering oversight across all technical workstreams within a major infrastructure programme.

The role ensures technical consistency, quality assurance, and alignment of engineering outputs across multiple contracts, while supporting integrated design delivery within a highly regulated, safety-critical and operationally sensitive environment.

Key Responsibilities

1. Engineering Leadership & Technical Governance

• Provide multidisciplinary engineering leadership across all technical workstreams under the PDMC commission
• Establish and maintain consistency in engineering approaches, technical positions, and coordination outputs across all disciplines
• Ensure robust governance of engineering decisions in line with project objectives and delivery requirements

2. Design Quality & Assurance Oversight

• Oversee the consistency and technical quality of:

  • Design reviews
  • Engineering recommendations
  • Coordination and integration outputs

• Ensure all engineering deliverables are aligned with relevant codes, standards, and client requirements, including applicable Hong Kong Railway Standards and authority expectations

• Support independent design assurance and compliance processes to ensure designs are fully coordinated, integrated and meet regulatory requirements.

3. Complex Engineering Issue Resolution

• Support the Design Manager and Quality Manager in resolving:
  • Complex engineering issues
  • Non-compliances and design deviations
  • Cross-discipline conflicts and constructability concerns
• Review and endorse technical positions on major design departures, unresolved disputes, and authority-related submissions prior to escalation

4. Integration & Systems Coordination

• Coordinate closely with System Integration, Requirements, RAMS, BIM and Package teams to ensure:

  • Engineering outputs are aligned across all disciplines and contracts
  • Technical requirements are clearly defined, tracked, and traceable
  • System interfaces and operational constraints are appropriately addressed

• Support multidisciplinary coordination to ensure all designs are fully integrated and consistent across the programme

5. Engineering Compliance & Standards Alignment

• Ensure all engineering decisions and outputs align with:

  • Project requirements and technical specifications
  • Applicable Hong Kong standards and statutory requirements
  • Authority approval processes and submission requirements
  • Integrated design and system performance objectives

• Maintain awareness of evolving standards and ensure consistent application across all packages

6. Risk, Constructability & Approval Readiness

• Provide technical oversight on risks related to:
  • Design integration and constructability
  • Safety and operational constraints
  • Authority submissions and approvals
• Ensure engineering solutions are practical, buildable, and aligned with programme and staging requirements

7. Mentoring & Capability Development

• Provide technical mentoring, guidance, and direction to:
  • Senior discipline reviewers
  • Package leads and engineering teams
• Build strong engineering capability across the PDMC team, promoting consistency, rigor, and best practice
