Be a Part of Something BIG!
Shape the future of Smart Buildings and intelligent infrastructure by turning emerging technologies and innovative ideas into real-world solutions.
As a Smart Building Solutions & Innovation Engineer, you will be part of a team responsible for envisioning, architecting, designing and implementing next-generation Smart Building solutions across Singtel Group properties and customer environments.
You will work across the full innovation and engineering lifecycle — from discovering new use cases, evaluating emerging technologies and developing proof-of-concepts, to solution architecture, design, system integration, implementation and continuous optimisation.
One Comcentre will serve as one of our key living labs and innovation platforms, where new technologies and Smart Building use cases can be explored, tested and demonstrated before being scaled or adapted to other Singtel properties and customer environments.
Working with business teams, technology partners, start-ups, vendors and customers, you will have opportunities to work with technologies such as IoT, AI, data analytics, automation, digital twins, smart workplace, sustainability and intelligent building systems.
This role is for someone who is curious about technology, enjoys solving real-world problems and wants to see their ideas progress from concept → prototype → deployment → scale.
