The Interview | Gordon Wong

Tell us a bit about yourself.

My main role is to be the bridge between architectural ambition and the mechanical reality, connecting the architects with the engineers. I coordinate the client side, working with them to get the best design brief, and then work with procurement alongside the factory, ensuring compliance with codes and making sure the operations teams are fully aware of what needs to be installed. Then it extends to final sign off and commissioning.

I also lead the Compliance Committee, which provides technical governance on compliance matters, product design changes, factory-driven engineering issues and regulatory interpretation to ensure consistent and compliant project delivery.
