Senior Principal Analyst, Workforce Planning & Development

About the Role

Join the Energy Market Authority and help shape the talent base that will support Singapore’s energy transition. The power sector is a major contributor to the country’s emissions, and Singapore is working toward net-zero by 2050 through cleaner power generation, renewable energy expansion, regional power imports, lower-carbon alternatives, and smarter grid solutions. A strong, adaptable workforce is central to making this transition successful.

This role sits at the centre of workforce development for a rapidly changing sector. You will help plan, attract, and grow the skills needed for the future energy landscape while supporting national efforts to build a resilient, sustainable, and innovation-led energy ecosystem.

Why This Role Matters

You will be contributing to one of Singapore’s most important long-term transformations. The work is closely tied to sustainability, technology adoption, and the creation of future-ready jobs. It is an opportunity to influence how the energy sector prepares for new demands and capabilities.

• Help shape the workforce that will drive the energy transition.
• Contribute to a more resilient and sustainable energy system.
• Work at the intersection of energy, technology, and talent transformation.
• Support people and organisations as they adapt to a changing sector.

What You Will Do

• Lead manpower planning, attraction, and development efforts to build the skills and capabilities needed across areas such as power generation, renewable energy, transmission and distribution, and smart grids.
• Use labour market data, trends, and insights to create workforce projections, policies, and plans that match sector needs.
• Spot emerging talent shortages and new capability requirements created by changing technologies and market developments.
• Work with industry partners and Institutes of Higher Learning to design and roll out programmes that strengthen sector capabilities and future skills.
• Contribute to workforce strategy and policy direction so that planning stays aligned with national energy objectives.

What We Are Looking For

• Genuine interest in the energy transition and in building workforce capability.
• Good grasp of new energy trends, technologies, and the talent implications they create.
• Strong strategic thinking with the ability to turn priorities into practical initiatives.
• Excellent partnership-building and stakeholder management skills.
• Background in workforce development, the energy sector, or a related area would be an advantage.

Eligibility
