Engineering and consulting firm Aurecon has announced the appointment of Serena Yap as its Technical Director for Buildings Structures in Singapore, as of 3 May 2016.
Says Steve Liew, Country Manager for Aurecon, Singapore, “We are very pleased to welcome Serena to our Buildings Structures team. Her forte in managing a variety of educational, residential, infrastructure, commercial and mixed development projects to achieve outcomes that make them lasting assets will certainly add value to Aurecon’s clients.”
This appointment aligns with the city’s Building and Construction Authority’s (BCA) vision to create a future-ready built environment for Singapore – one that is “safe, high quality, sustainable and friendly built.” The BCA projects that the value of construction contracts to be awarded this year will amount to between SGD 27 billion and 34 billion, with roughly 65 per cent driven by public sector demand. If these forecasted estimates are met, this will be the highest proportion of construction demand from the public sector since 2002.
Given BCA’s vision to develop a skills-based, future-ready environment for the city of Singapore, Serena will prove a vital contributor to this vision. She will be responsible for providing technical expertise to clients and developing, as well as managing, projects. She will also be accountable for all financial, technical, client relationship, contractual, risk, and staffing aspects related to projects.
Serena Yap is a licensed professional engineer and a member of the Institution of Engineers Singapore and the Structural Steel Society of Singapore. She has over 30 years’ of experience in the engineering industry, and is an expert in design and project management within both built environment and infrastructure markets.
Prior to joining Aurecon, Serena was at T.Y. Lin International Pte Ltd., where she headed the Building (Civil & Structural) Group. Her portfolio of past work includes iconic Singaporean projects such as The Hive, Reflections at Keppel Bay, The Interlace, and Nanyang Technological University’s Learning Hub (South Spine).
Speaking about her appointment, Serena said, “I am excited about this opportunity to start a new journey with Aurecon. I look forward to strengthening Aurecon’s presence in Singapore and to tackling the challenges of tomorrow on behalf of our clients to ensure that their investment’s become future-proofed assets today and into the future.”
