Huge turnout on first day of Singapore aviation career fair as employers jostle for talent

SINGAPORE, May 27 — Despite arriving at the OneAviation Careers event at around 9.30am today, about half an hour before the doors to the job fair at the Suntec City Convention Centre swung open, there was already a crowd of jobseekers standing ahead of Mr Suzaki Abdullah waiting to enter.

Ms Cynthia Tan, Pratt & Whitney’s talent acquisition manager, said that the attendance was so overwhelming that her booth had run out of printed job descriptions to hand out to visitors. The roles range from careers in airport retail, services and operations to aviation policy, aerospace engineering and information technology, said Mr Chee during a keynote address at the event.

The 30-year-old said she has always wanted to join the aviation sector ever since she was an architecture student studying airport design. “It looks like the competition is going to be fierce. I hope I have a chance,” said Mr Tsang, who showed up at the fair in a suit and hopes to get an executive role.He was previously based in Hong Kong as well, but was furloughed at the end of 2020 and spent his time doing unrelated work in the city until he returned to Singapore two weeks ago.

However, Pratt & Whitney’s Ms Tan said that it will be a challenge to get workers because of the fierce competition not just within the industry, but from other sectors that are similarly looking for technicians. Agreeing that it is tough to find the right worker, Mr Kevin Chow, the country director and chief executive officer of Thales in Singapore, said the aerospace company is open to taking on people from different sectors.
