• Monitor and conduct audits on seafarer recruitment and placement agencies to ensure compliance of practices in accordance with domestic legislative and MLC-related requirements;
• Represent Singapore at key forums internationally and regionally (e.g. International Maritime Organization, International Labour Organization, inter-governmental meetings) to influence and shape discussions on seafaring-related policies and regulations;
• Design, administer and review schemes and programmes to attract and retain the pool of Singaporeans seafaring professionals, including promoting seafaring as a meaningful career pathway;
• Engage and work closely with industry partners and tripartite stakeholders – such as unions, non-governmental organisations, intergovernmental organisations, seafarers missions and shipping entities – to cultivate and promote maritime industrial relations in Singapore;
• Coordinate, arrange and organise shore-based welfare activities for seafarers, including physical welfare facilities (e.g. seafarers drop-in / recreational centres), events (e.g. festive celebrations, sports activities, Day of the Seafarer)
• Oversee the delivery of seafarer manning and documentation-related services to ensure compliance of Singapore-registered ships in accordance with domestic regulations (e.g. processing, issuance and endorsement of seafarers certification and documentations, minimum safe manning document of ships, electronic ship information, crew movement submissions, and declarations of Maritime Labour Compliance);
• Support MPA’s transformation efforts to digitalise and streamline crewing and manning-related transactions through the development and implementation of the Integrated Shipping System (ISS);
• Oversee responsibilities for key divisional-level administrative processes such as preparing of annual estimates of budget/revenue/expenditure and development of workplan;
• Supervise, train and support the development of a team of professionals and executives to deliver optimal performance of the department.

You should possess strong leadership capabilities with prior experience in managing teams and supporting organisational change, and proven ability to manage complex situations, deliver outcomes in a dynamic environment, and work well under pressure.

Prior experience in either in shipboard roles and seafarers management would be valuable. Candidates with a Certificate of Competency (Deck/Engine) or past experience with MLC-related matters and inspections will have an added advantage.

You should have strong analytical, communication and writing skills, with demonstrated ability to navigate complex situations. You should also have a strong passion for improving the lives of seafarers and advancing Singapore’s position as a global maritime hub.
