We read the preferred list as a description of a useful background, not a checklist. Candidates who meet the required list and none of the preferred are regularly hired.
Who you would be joining.
Infrastructure Systems runs from Singapore with delivery teams standing up at each site. The group is deliberately generalist — engineers rotate across energy, water, and transport rather than specialising early.
What to know before you apply.
Public-sector work is conducted under disclosure terms set by the client. No clearance is required for this role.
All candidates undergo comprehensive vetting. Reasonable accommodation is available at any stage — say so in your first note and it will be arranged. We do not use unverified third-party recruiters, and we never ask a candidate for a fee.
