Senior/Assistant Director, Carbon Mitigation Division
4 days ago
What The Role Is
Climate change is one of the defining issues of our time. It is a complex global challenge that calls for concerted international action and collaboration between governments, industry, and individuals. Singapore, as a low-lying city state, is vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Hence, we have to work together with the international community to address climate change and build a climate-resilient future.
At MTI, we seek to pursue sustainable development by balancing economic needs with environmental protection and social inclusion. The transition to a low-carbon and green economy will be especially challenging for Singapore, given our scarce natural resources and open economy.
The Carbon Mitigation team sits within MTI’s Energy & Carbon Cluster, where we drive the national development of non-energy mitigation measures and policies, such as carbon capture and storage (CCS) and high-quality carbon credits. We also work closely with agencies such as NCCS, MSE, and MOF, to formulate and coordinate strategies to ensure that Singapore is prepared for the impact of climate change, on both the domestic and international fronts, while seizing new opportunities to create good jobs for Singaporeans.
The team plays a critical role in charting the path forward for Singapore’s low-carbon transition, and we’re looking for driven, capable, and committed individuals to join us.
What You Will Be Working On
You will be part of a dynamic team responsible for formulating Singapore’s carbon mitigation strategies and policies, with a focus on carbon credits. You will examine carbon mitigation issues from multiple perspectives, assess the trade-offs, and work with other government agencies and relevant stakeholders on one or more of the following work streams:
Develop and review carbon mitigation strategies and policies to enable Singapore to transition to a low-carbon economy while ensuring our economic competitiveness and good jobs for Singaporeans. These include measures set out in our Long-term Low-Emissions Development Strategy, and our plans to achieve our Nationally Determined Contributions.
Develop and implement plans relating to carbon credits to meet our climate targets, while ensuring economic competitiveness. These include designing a robust international sourcing strategy to meet our climate targets; identifying and negotiating diverse new sources of high-quality Article 6-compliant carbon credits; collaborating with the private sector, international and multilateral organisations, and like-minded countries to secure access to Article 6-compliant carbon credits; catalysing and incentivising the development of new carbon credit project types; as well as growing the pipeline of high-integrity carbon credits projects for Singapore.
Develop and implement communications and engagement plans in collaboration with MTI corporate communication and engagement officers to support the implementation of the above climate strategies and policies, in close coordination with other agencies in the Singapore Government.
As the climate space is fast evolving, an officer may be deployed across different workstreams, based on the officer’s development and MTI’s organisational needs.
What We Are Looking For
Experience in policy review and formulation, particularly in the public sector. Prior experience working on climate change/sustainability areas in the public sector will be perceived favourably; and/or
Relevant experience in climate change/sustainability areas in the private sector, and/or non-government organisations – experience in carbon markets or other environmental goods/commodities is an advantage.
Strong analytical skills
Strong interpersonal, organisational, and communication skills, with the ability to work well both independently and in a team
Strong ability to learn on the fly, is driven, meticulous, and resourceful
Ability to thrive in a fast-paced and dynamic environment
