Facebook data centre to support ‘hundreds of jobs' in Singapore

It posted new jobs for data centre construction.

Facebook expects its data centre in Singapore to “support hundreds of jobs” as it forms parts of its presence in the city and across Asia. Yesterday, it announced that it would invest $1.4b in the data centre that will be built in the Jurong East district.

The social media network has started posting infrastructure jobs related to the construction of the data centre in its careers page. More jobs are expected to come in the following weeks.

Roles currently available include the data centre’s plan & build manager, logistics systems lead, and construction programme engineer.

Facebook said in its previous announcement that Singapore was selected as the location for the data centre due to “robust infrastructure and access to fibre, a talented local workforce, and a great set of community partners.”

"Singapore has also established policies that foster a business-friendly environment, including measures that support the enforcement of contracts and increase the ease of construction permitting," it added.

Fortis Construction has been selected as the project's general contractor.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
