Head of Engineering – Modular Building Platforms
Join the Mission: Engineering the Product of Construction. We aren’t just building projects; we are building a Product Platform. Our mission is to move construction from the field to the factory, transforming how humanity creates shelter. As the Head of Engineering, you are the architect of our "Right to Win." You will lead the transition from traditional, site-heavy civil engineering to a high-precision, Productized Construction model.
The Mandate: "Building the Machine that Builds the Buildings"
Your core focus is to develop our prefab technology (PEB, LGSF, Modular, and Foldable systems) into a scalable, highly profitable reality. You will bridge the gap between rigorous IS-code-compliant civil engineering and automotive-grade manufacturing precision.
Key Focus Areas & Responsibilities1. Productisation & The "Right to Win"
Platform Development: Transition from a "Project" mindset to a "Product" mindset. Develop standardised, reusable, modular building systems that win on cost, speed, and quality.
Value Engineering for Scale:



Use First-Principles Thinking to ruthlessly optimise structural costs. Enable the business to win more projects by engineering out waste without compromising safety.
Factory-First (IC) Strategy: Drive the engineering roadmap to increase the percentage of construction work done in the factory to 99%, minimising on-site skill requirements.
2. Engineering Systems & Excellence
Automotive-Level Quality: Develop engineering processes that ensure building quality is measured in millimetres, not centimetres. Implement PFMEA (Process Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) into the design phase.
DFMA Mastery: Oversee the implementation of Design for Manufacturing and Assembly principles to ensure every component "snaps" together seamlessly in office with zero rework.
BIM-to-Factory Pipeline: Establish a robust digital thread using BIM and ISO 19650 standards to automate the flow from design to the fabrication s
