Her PPVC experience has supported her current employer (T&T) in winning their first residential project.

She has served as the council member in the QS Division of SISV from 2019 to 2025.

She is an Adjunct Professor in NUS, teaching the module “Measurement (Building Works)” from 2022. She has submitted and presented technical papers in PAQS Congress since 2018. The topic of her papers ranged from productivity, digital, sustainability and innovation. Hoping to attract more people to come forward to the QS and BE sector, especially to the young generation, Jacqueline initiates a series named “I am QS” on Linked In. The series written in English and Chinese is a sharing of her day-to-day work encounters and thoughts on her work experiences, hoping from a personal and light-hearted angle to bring a different perspective of BE professionals to the public. 

 

Jacqueline Huan Quote:   

Thanks for the recognition and it is my honor to receive this award from AWiCS. The BE sector is complex and requires extensive collaboration among stakeholders for the project success. I hope more women, who can better provide emotional value and support to each other, shall be empowered to be more confident to play our role in this male-dominant industry.
