South Korean construction firm Daewoo Engineering & Construction (Daewoo E&C) is actively pursuing new business opportunities in Singapore by expanding its local workforce.
On July 22, Daewoo E&C posted a job opening for a Marketing & Public Relationship Manager.
The role includes attending bid and pre-qualification (PQ) briefings, coordinating bids with Daewoo E&C’s headquarters, networking with industry contacts, researching current market and industry trends, participating in meetings and negotiations with potential clients and business partners, and monitoring construction licensing regulations.
The position offers a monthly salary ranging from 3,000 to 6,000 Singapore dollars (approximately 2,200 to 4,400 U.S. dollars).
This hiring effort reflects Daewoo E&C’s strong commitment to the Singapore market. Last year, the company issued bonds worth 150 million Singapore dollars (around 110 million U.S. dollars), backed by guarantees from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Credit Guarantee and Investment Facility (CGIF), to secure local financing.
In 2022, Daewoo E&C nearly acquired full equity in a joint venture for an urban railway project in Jurong, western Singapore, accelerating the project’s development. The project is part of a 15-mile Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) line connecting major hubs in Jurong to the North-South Line (NSL) and East-West Line (EWL), including the construction of three above-ground stations and a 2.2-mile viaduct.
Daewoo E&C first entered the Singapore market in 1983, winning a contract to build 8,000 housing units using precast concrete (PC) construction methods. Since then, the company has taken on port, highway, condominium, and subway projects.
