Working in Singapore

Singapore is a compact, highly connected island with strong opportunities in aviation, logistics, technology, finance, hospitality, and international business. Changi Airport and the wider aviation sector provide roles in ground handling, cargo, engineering, customer service, and operations. The culture is multicultural, efficient, and generally respectful of punctuality, rules, and public cleanliness. Living standards are high, public transport is excellent, and English is widely used at work. Housing and daily expenses can be expensive, although interns may reduce costs through shared accommodation and public transport.
