Dear Gilbert,

I am looking for engineers with experience in the construction sector.

We should be able to help take in a few of these jobless engineering people provided they have the relevant diploma/degree, sufficient work experience in construction and the salary range meets their expectations.

I’m not sure what kind  of salaries your engineers would be expecting.

Firstly, they must have either a civil/structural engineering diploma or degree.

Then depending on whether their diploma or degree is recognized here in SG, they would need anywhere from 6 month to 1 year direct work experience in construction under the supervision of a Professional Engineer.  That would then allow them to be registered as either Resident Technical Officers (RTO) or resident engineer (RE).

I can take in immediately anyone who meets the above requirements with the RTO/RE registration.

For those without the required site experience and registration, we are willing to train and mentor them for the required 6-12 months under a professional engineer as an assistant Technical Officer at a lower salary.

After their training, the professional engineer will certify them and we would then submit their registrations as RTOs/REs.

Their real employment will start after obtaining their registrations. We would be bonding them for a minimum 2 years. As a guide, our current RTOs earn between $2.5-$4.5k/month while our REs earn $4.5-8k/month depending on their performance.

We have urgent shortage of personnel at the moment and have been running some of our projects at 50% staff strength.

I hope we can work something out. We are  looking for long term career paths for our supervisors to help us continue growing.

Let me know what you think. Thanks alot for helping.
