Parsing time from the CLI in Sierra adjusted for the timezone
Yes, it's possible in dateutils:

$ dateconv 2016-11-12T01:46:00.000000Z --zone Asia/Singapore -f '%Y%m%d%H%M'
201611120946


If the offset isn't known by name but rather you want 8 hours (or any other time interval) added to a UTC stamp you can use dateadd

$ dateadd 2016-11-12T01:46:00.000000Z +8h -f '%Y%m%d%H%M'
201611120946
