What the role is:Energy powers our economy, lights up our city and connects us all. From ensuring a reliable energy supply, promoting a competitive energy market, and catalysing innovation in a dynamic energy industry, we are looking for individuals who share our vision of “Our Clean Energy Future: Resilient, Sustainable, Competitive”. If you are seeking a career where you can build a sustainable energy future for Singapore, EMA is the place for you.What you will be working on:(EMA) Energy Technologies Department 1. Assess feasibility of deploying deep geothermal systems. - Lead technical and economic feasibility analyses of deep geothermal systems in the context of Singapore's subsurface geology and urban environment. - Assess the risks, feasibility and benefits of implementing such systems, and integrate findings into recommendations to shape pilot and demonstration projects. - Track global innovations in areas like directional drilling, hydraulic fracturing/stimulation, closed-loop circulation systems and seismic monitoring that could inform geothermal resource mapping and characterisation in Singapore's context. 2. Conduct studies to ascertain the geothermal resource potential. - Manage geophysical and geotechnical studies (i.e. working together with Consultants and liaising with Government agencies) to characterise subsurface structures and temperatures, and integration of study results into reservoir simulation platforms for assessing geothermal resource in Singapore. 3. Develop ecosystem to support prospective geothermal projects. - Ascertain R&D required to support the deployment of deep geothermal systems in Singapore. - Develop regulations and policies to support the potential large-scale deployment of deep geothermal systems in Singapore. Engage global regulators and work with local government agencies to tailor international best practices to local context. - Develop plans and policies to build domestic capabilities in developing, operating and maintaining deep geothermal systems in Singapore. 4. Develop and implement plans to scale up the deployment of geothermal systems. - Identify and safeguard suitable sites to deploy deep geothermal -systems in Singapore.
