Large-scale infrastructure delivery across Asia with BIM, digital construction, and safety focus
Leighton Asia operates a 10,000+ person infrastructure business spanning tunnels, rail, roads, and buildings across seven Asian markets. The tech stack is construction-native (Revit, Civil 3D, Navisworks, Tekla, Oracle Primavera) layered with modern cloud and data tools (Azure, Databricks, Power BI, Python) — indicating a shift toward digital project controls and safety analytics. Active hiring is construction and engineering-heavy, with accelerating velocity and a notable Project Director role, while project work centers on BIM standards, construction simulations, and schedule optimization.
