The Built Environment (BE) sector plays an integral role in shaping Singapore’s cityscape and urban infrastructure and transforming our island-state into the vibrant and liveable city it is today. However, in the coming years, the sector will need to confront the multiple existential challenges of ageing infrastructure and changing demographics at the local level, against a global climate characterised by growing energy and manpower constraints, as well as climate change. Ensuring that our BE sector remains strong, robust and effective in rising up to these challenges is critical as we work towards a safe, high quality, sustainable and inclusive living environment for Singaporeans.

You will be part of the MND Infrastructure policy team responsible for conceptualising, planning and implementing policies to strengthen materials resilience in the BE sector, while supporting national efforts to transform and future-proof the sector. You will lead policy development and cross-agency coordination to ensure materials supply chains remain robust and sustainable, while also driving productivity and innovation in alignment with the Built Environment Industry Transformation Map (BE ITM). This would include leading initiatives to: a) Formulate and review policies to enhance materials resilience in the construction ecosystem in alignment with broader national planning priorities. b) Coordinate the formulation, review and implementation of industry transformation initiatives under the BE ITM, by working closely with government stakeholders towards the industry’s productivity, digitalisation and sustainability goals; To achieve these outcomes, the jobholder will leverage various policy levers (such as legislation, support schemes, etc.), work with BCA and other agencies on the strategic communications and implementation considerations in exercising these levers, as well as assess the relevant resourcing requirements to do so. Through your work, you will have the opportunity to translate strategic intent and objectives into concrete policy moves and programmes, work closely with the Building and Construction Authority to engage the BE sector stakeholders, to transform the Built Environment.
