Ministry of Transport

Permanent/Contract

Closing in 1 day(s)

What the role is

At the Ministry of Transport (MOT), we spearhead developments in Singapore's land, sea and air transport sectors to advance Singapore's economic competitiveness and Singaporeans' quality of life. We seek dynamic, analytical and committed individuals to join our able MOT team in realising the vision of a world-class transportation system and a global interconnected hub.
If you share our vision and possess the qualities we seek, join us

What you will be working on

This role is part of a team that oversees policies related to bus, fares and ticketing, inclusive transport and point-to-point transport (P2P), i.e. BFIP. Specifically, this role will primarily focus on developing and implementing policies for Singapore's public bus industry. The role will expose you to a diverse range of topics. The key issues that the public bus sector faces today are on: (i) service provision and financial sustainability, (ii) environmental sustainability and (iii) manpower.
(i) Service provision and financial sustainability
You will work closely with LTA to administer the Bus Contracting Model and ensure the smooth running of public bus services which complement our rail network. This includes the tendering of bus packages and provision of bus-related infrastructure. You will also work with LTA, the central bus planner, in setting the principles for the planning of bus routes to improve connectivity for Singaporeans. This will range from developing strategies to address longer term land use trends, such as serving housing estates that are further away from public transport nodes, to evaluating community requests for bus service amendments to meet immediate needs of residents.
Bus financials are also important given the significant Government subsidies needed to sustain the current bus service standards. There is a need to ensure that the public bus industry moves on a financially sustainable path and this involves difficult trade-offs between optimising resources, while meeting needs on the ground. This would involve continually reviewing our tendering approach and the Bus Contracting Model.
(ii) Environmental sustainability
Beyond growing the public transport mode share, which includes journeys made on public buses, we have also embarked on efforts to progressively convert the entire public bus fleet to cleaner energy models. Together, these efforts will help reduce the carbon footprint of public transport. Public bus electrification is an important aspect to achieve this and we announced plans to ensure 50% of the bus fleet will be electric buses by 2030. We are now building up the infrastructure to support a bus fleet that is primarily electric, and the operational changes needed for bus packages which have a significant number of electric buses.
(iii) Manpower
You will work on strategies to support public bus workers and help the industry navigate through a very tight manpower environment. This includes efforts to improve the attractiveness of jobs in the public bus sector, while ensuring the bus operators have access to foreign manpower to meet bus service needs. You will also work on initiatives to improve working conditions and workers' welfare as well as to adopt assistive technologies, to help improve the working environment for bus captains, which in turn enables them to provide safe and reliable journeys.
You will have a chance to shape decisions that will have a major impact on the provision of our public bus services, both in the immediate and longer term. Work on these issues will give you exposure in areas such as policy and commercial analysis, bus operations, land use, manpower planning and public comms. You will also have the opportunity to work with various Government agencies such as LTA, MOF, MND, URA, MOM and the tripartite partners, i.e. the bus operators and Unions.

What we are looking for

We are looking for someone who wants to be part of a dynamic and dedicated team that strives to make a difference. Strong analytical skills and being able to balance policy, implementation and political considerations are essential. You must also be able to work with multiple stakeholders and be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.

About Ministry of Transport

The Mission of Ministry of Transport is to develop Singapore's land, sea and air transport sectors so as to enhance our economic competitiveness and quality of life in a knowledge-based economy. MOT oversees the development and regulation of the following sectors:

• Civil Aviation and Air Transport

• Maritime and Ports

• Land Transport
Besides providing an efficient and cost-effective transportation in Singapore, it also strives to make Singapore an international civil aviation and maritime centre for the region.
The ministry sets the strategic and policy direction while operations and regulatory works are carried out by the statutory boards under its charge. There are four statutory boards which are established by Acts of Parliament: the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS), the Land Transport Authority (LTA), the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and the Public Transport Council (PTC). The ministry also oversees the operation of the Transport Safety Investigation Bureau (TSIB).
