JustEng is the specialist recruiter for forensic engineers, quantum & delay experts and construction expert witnesses across Asia-Pacific. Singapore (SIAC) and Hong Kong (HKIAC) are the region’s dominant seats; Australia’s iron-ore, LNG and metro programmes anchor the largest single dispute pipeline; and Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines are producing steady FIDIC arbitration volume.
Why Asia-Pacific is a strategic recruiting priority in 2026
Singapore has cemented its position as the world’s most-preferred seat for international construction arbitration outside London, with SIAC caseload at record levels. Hong Kong (HKIAC) continues to dominate PRC-related construction arbitration. Australia’s Cross River Rail, Suburban Rail Loop, WestConnex, Snowy 2.0 and the LNG expansion programme (Woodside, Santos) are running heavy dispute pipelines; and megaprojects in Malaysia (ECRL), Indonesia (Nusantara) and the Philippines are producing steady FIDIC-form claims. The regional market is starved of chartered quantum, delay and structural forensic talent, and packages have risen faster in APAC than any region except the Gulf.
