ASSISTANT DIRECTOR

6 days ago

Singapore National Library Board Full time

What the role is:
At MSE and our family of agencies – PUB, NEA, and SFA – we drive sustainability and resilience initiatives that improve the everyday lives of Singaporeans. As part of the MSE Family, you will be at the forefront of innovation, leading efforts to safeguard water resources, protect public health, and ensure food safety. Through partnerships across sectors, we tackle evolving challenges while fostering an inclusive, safe, and supportive workplace. Join us in shaping Singapore’s sustainable future and making a lasting impact on the everyday lives of generations to come. The Water and Food Policy Division (WFPD) works closely with PUB, Singapore’s national water agency and Singapore Food Agency to formulate, review and implement a broad range of policies and strategies to ensure the supply of water and safe food for Singapore. In 2015, the Water Resource Institute (WRI) ranked Singapore as one of the most water-stressed countries in the world and predicted Singapore to be one of the eight countries in the world most vulnerable to disruptions in water supply by 2040. Given the lack of land and natural water resources in Singapore, many are not surprised by WRI’s conclusion. Yet, we have managed to turn our vulnerability into strength over the years through relentlessly pursuing and employing innovative and hard-nosed strategies. Today, the Singapore Water Story is a source of pride domestically and a role model for sustainable water management internationally.
What you will be working on:
You will be involved in the next Chapter of the Water Story where we continue to enhance water sustainability and flood resilience in the face of climate change, pushing boundaries to produce the next drop of water with lesser energy. You will be working closely with PUB and other agencies on the following non-exhaustive list of priorities:
Develop new water policies that will steer Singapore’s strategies for water in a new direction.
Work with PUB to shape the approach in planning, designing and implementing water infrastructure as part of PUB’s Water Master Plan.
Review the regulatory framework for water management to ensure it effectively supports PUB’s statutory functions in water supply and drainage.
Review PUB’s drainage master plan and flood risk management strategies to protect Singapore against climate change.
Over and above the WSD-specific roles, as part of the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment, you will have the opportunity to be involved in developing Whole-of-Government / Whole-of-Nation strategies on sustainable development.
What we are looking for:

  • Strong analytical and numerical skills; having the ability to dissect issues to identify the specific problems and develop considered solutions.
  • Strong synthesis skills and systems thinking; being able to draw links / connections between a range of seemingly disparate issues, and frame those issues coherently in a logical and intuitive way.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills, both in writing and speaking; being succinct yet targeted, and expressing your points in a clear and logical fashion.
  • Ability to be resourceful and work both independently and in teams, and engage multiple stakeholders.
  • Have a passion and openness to learn; being prepared to take on board feedback and having the tenacity to want to get things right.

About Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment:
The Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment (MSE) is committed to providing Singaporeans with a clean and sustainable environment, and safe and secure supplies of food and water. MSE’s key priorities are to ensure a sustainable, resource-efficient and climate-resilient Singapore. Our three strategic directions include economic resilience, resource resilience, and climate resilience. We enjoy challenging and diverse careers, which are bound together by the common cause - making Singapore’s living environment among the best in the world. Everyone who works at MSE has a role to play in helping to shape our environment – not just for now, but for generations to come. We are constantly on the lookout for energetic, pro-active and committed individuals to join us. Successful candidates can expect a fulfilling career with a competitive remuneration package and a comprehensive range of benefits, as well as opportunities for cross-deployment within MSE and our Statutory Boards as part of our holistic career development.
