    Obayashi Corporation (Singapore Office) established its operations in Singapore in 1965, predating Singapore’s history as a nation. The Singapore Office has since developed into one of the largest offices in Obayashi’s worldwide network.Since the start of operations in 1965, the Singapore Office has distinguished itself with numerous successful diverse projects. The East Coast Reclamation project began in 1965 and was Obayashi’s first major overseas civil engineering project in Singapore. Upon completion of the 20 year project in 1985, a total of 1,114 hectares (1.8% of Singapore’s land mass) had been reclaimed. Obayashi Singapore Office has also contributed to Singapore’s landmark skyline with the construction of skyscrapers such as the Treasury Building (1986), SIA Building (1997), One Raffles Quay (2006), Ocean Financial Centre (2011) and Straits Trading Building (2009).In January 2014, Obayashi’s operations in Singapore was formally localized into a subsidiary. Localization would enable the company to focus more on projects rooted in the region and enhance our track record that has made us one of the leading construction companies in Singapore.We look forward to progress together with Singapore to the next 50 years milestone.

    Long Hours, multitasking, zero work life balance
    The good thingsGood working relationship with colleagues
    The challengesCan't really walk the talk. Everything is quite superficial. If the project is delayed, safety is least priority. Further more the contract is drafted in such a way that subcon who gotten the contract, main con provide the necessary resources such as man, materials, machine etc to save cost. Subcon who has poor safety performance are being awarded, therefore at the end of the day the price still matters for the sake of profit margin. Typical business mindset.
