Singapore Ministry of Trade and Industry Full time
Overview

Senior/Assistant Director, Resource and Planning Division (Energy & Carbon) at the Ministry of Trade and Industry (Singapore).

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. At MTI, we seek to pursue economic development factoring in climate and energy considerations, to create good jobs for Singaporeans. With finite resources and an open economy, Singapore faces unique trade-offs and challenges in the transition to a low-carbon economy, requiring innovation in both technology and policy to successfully seize new opportunities in a carbon-constrained world.

What you will be working on includes contributing to MTI's Energy and Carbon (E&C) Cluster initiatives, which aim to reduce emissions and drive the transition to a low-carbon economy. The Resource & Planning team drives cross-cutting policies that affect the carbon, energy and economic transitions impacting the industrial and energy sectors. You will collaborate with MTI, other Government agencies and the private sector to formulate policies that enable Singapore to contribute to global climate change mitigation while sustainably growing our economy.

What You Will Be Working On

MTI's Energy and Carbon (E&C) Cluster leads initiatives to reduce emissions and drive the transition to a low-carbon economy. Officers on the E&C front develop carbon markets, plan energy infrastructure, strategise low-carbon energy sources, and manage mission trajectories and carbon budgets. You will be part of the Resource & Planning team responsible for cross-cutting policies related to carbon, energy and the economic transition.

  • Formulating policies to spur industry and power sector decarbonisation, including implementing the carbon tax act and related allowances that support sustainable industrial growth.
  • Collaborating with government agencies to unlock cost-effective greenhouse gas mitigation measures to meet rising climate ambition while managing impact to businesses.
  • Coordinating and formulating overall R&D efforts related to industry decarbonisation and the energy transition, including overseeing R&D programme offices across MTI Statutory Boards.
What We Are Looking For

We are looking for driven individuals with a strong desire to contribute to Singapore's energy and carbon transition, an interest in energy and carbon markets and policies, the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment, and the capability to work with multiple stakeholders inside and outside the public sector. The following qualities and competencies are desirable:

  • Experience in policy review and formulation
  • 0 to 9 years of relevant experience in climate change/sustainability in the public or private sector and/or non-government organisations
  • Strong analytical, interpersonal, organisational and communication skills
  • Ability to work well independently and as part of a team
  • Strong ability to learn on the fly
  • Driven, meticulous and resourceful
