Frequently asked questions

Standard building services and facilities roles can often be filled within 4 to 6 weeks. Specialised infrastructure or senior project management roles may take longer given the more targeted expertise required.
Beyond core engineering skills, look for candidates experienced in managing complex approval processes and stakeholder coordination, since Hong Kong's infrastructure projects often involve multiple regulatory bodies.
