CCS is a key decarbonisation pathway for Singapore to achieve our international climate targets, particularly for hard-to-abate, emissions-intensive sectors such as energy & chemicals, power, and waste. The CCS PO is responsible for developing and implementing the first CCS project in Singapore, which will be a complex, multi-domain and multi-year endeavour that supports Singapore's economic competitiveness in a low-carbon future. Join us in this excellent opportunity to be part of a challenging, impactful and fulfilling journey for a landmark project in Singapore's sustainability efforts.What you will be working on:As a member of the CCS PO, you will be part of the dynamic and multi-disciplinary team tasked to plan and develop CCS infrastructure, to support Singapore's overall decarbonization efforts in achieving our net-zero goals.
