About the RCD Division
The Resource and Carbon Division (RCD) works as a team with internal stakeholders (e.g. Industry Groups) and external stakeholders (e.g. private companies and other government agencies) to develop policies and products that promote competitive and sustainable use of key resources for industrial activities in Singapore. This will be in domains such as land, electricity, water, renewable electricity, environment and greenhouse gas emissions.
The division is responsible for developing policies and frameworks that optimise the value we get out of Singapore’s scarce resources, manage resource trade-offs across industry sub-sectors, galvanize climate action within the industry, and undertake long-term resource planning for industry.
In the course of your work, you will have the opportunity to understand the resource needs of industry and to develop the appropriate solutions to ensure Singapore industry’s long-term competitiveness. You will also be able to cultivate and maintain close ties with decision makers and influencers in government, and to engage companies and private sector solutions providers to promote resource efficiency and emissions reduction projects.
