What the role is:
At the Ministry of Transport (MOT), we spearhead developments in Singapore’s land, sea and air transport sectors to advance Singapore’s economic competitiveness and Singaporeans’ quality of life. We seek dynamic, analytical and committed individuals to join our able MOT team in realising the vision of a world-class transportation system and a global interconnected hub. If you share our vision and possess the qualities we seek, join us
What you will be working on:
The officer will undertake policy reviews, and work with MPA on the formulation and operationalisation of policies in a range of policy domains:
Economic:
To develop and support the execution of policies to ensure Singapore remains competitive as a leading hub port and international maritime centre. Major upcoming projects include:
Reviewing and implementing policies to strengthen the competitiveness of our transhipment hub port and international maritime centre in the midst of ongoing geopolitical uncertainties and supply chain disruptions.
Sustainability and decarbonisation initiatives to future proof our hub port and seize new opportunities.
Leveraging R&D to improve productivity and resilience, and to overcome our inherent constraints of land and labour.
Jobs and skills initiatives to localise and upskill jobs.
Infrastructure:
To develop and support the execution of policies relating to the use of scarce sea space to enhance port capacity and development. Major upcoming projects include:
Tuas Port development and planning of reclamation works.
Consolidation of port operations from City terminals and Pasir Panjang terminals to Tuas Port.
Review of anchorage space for maritime services and other sea space uses (e.g. competitive sailing) given shrinking sea space due to land reclamation needs.
Security/International Relations:
To support the development and execution of policies to safeguard Singapore’s sovereignty (e.g. boundary issues and port limits), and advance our strategic maritime interests (e.g. ensuring Singapore remains an influential thought leader on maritime issues, keeping sea-lanes to Singapore port open). Significant exposure to bilateral and multilateral issues. Involves extensive collaboration with agencies including MFA, AGC, MINDEF/RSN and MHA/PCG. Key operational pieces include working across Government and with MPA on detailed SOPs for operational assets on the ground and public communications to exercise jurisdiction and safeguard Singapore’s delimitation interests.
The job will provide significant exposure to senior management in MOT and within Government, and include engagements and overseas travel for meetings with MOT and/or MPA’s counterparts, and with the maritime industry.
What we are looking for:
Strong analytical, numerical and critical reasoning skills
Excellent writing and communications skills
Soft skills to work with different stakeholders
Strong, positive work ethic and a team player
About Ministry of Transport:
The Mission of Ministry of Transport is to develop Singapore's land, sea and air transport sectors so as to enhance our economic competitiveness and quality of life in a knowledge-based economy. MOT oversees the development and regulation of the following sectors:
Civil Aviation and Air Transport
Maritime and Ports
Land Transport
Besides providing efficient and cost-effective transportation in Singapore, it also strives to make Singapore an international civil aviation and maritime centre for the region. The ministry sets the strategic and policy direction while operations and regulatory works are carried out by the statutory boards under its charge. There are four statutory boards which are established by Acts of Parliament: the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS), the Land Transport Authority (LTA), the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and the Public Transport Council (PTC). The ministry also oversees the operation of the Transport Safety Investigation Bureau (TSIB).
