What the role is:The role will be spearheading the planning and development of new concept of operations (CONOPS) related to innovative, strategic, and advanced disruptive technology systems to achieve the SCDF 2030 Vision. This includes driving the implementation of cutting-edge solutions such as Gen AI, Smart Info-Systems Technologies, Unified IoT Sensor Network Gateway, and Smart Building Technologies into SCDF operations and processes. Additionally, the role oversees the harmonisation and integration of these solutions into SCDF's internal systems. Leading a team of four officers, the role encompasses overseeing the entire process, from in-depth research and conceptualization to precise prototyping, rigorous experimentation, trial conduct, and seamless implementation, all aimed at leveraging data and technology. Ultimately, this pivotal role is essential for positioning the organisation for long-term success and relevance in a dynamic and technology-driven landscape. The post will lead the Disruptive Technology System team to implement technology, leveraging their operational understanding, leadership skills, and ability to drive change to ensure the successful adoption and integration of innovative solutions within SCDF.What you will be working on:1. To devise an implementation roadmap for the integration of cutting-edge disruptive systems into SCDF processes. 2. To actively build and nurture partnerships with strategic collaborators and stakeholders such as HTX, industry partners and academia with the aim of advancing the incorporation of specific solutions into the SCDF roadmap. 3. To engage in collaborative discussions, seeking alignment on objectives, and fostering mutually beneficial relationships to support the successful integration of innovative solutions within SCDF processes. 4. To cultivate a collaborative and high-performing work environment within his team of four members through ongoing engagements for an effective project and staff management, addressing support needs, setting clear goals, resolving conflicts, and empowering team members, among other key activities. 5. To guide the conduct of thorough research and analysis into SCDF processes to understand the issue at hand, identify potential tech solutions, and assess their feasibility and impact. 6. To supervise the development of plans in implementing policies, including timelines, resource allocation, and coordination with stakeholders 7. To establish mechanisms to monitor the implementation of the policies, collect data on their impact, and evaluate their effectiveness in achieving the intended outcomes. To oversee the mapping of stakeholders that have an interest in or may be impacted by the technological solutions and policy. 8. To establish collaborative relationships and partnerships with stakeholders to leverage their expertise, resources, and networks in the development and implementation of the technological policies 9. To maintain ongoing communication and engagement with stakeholders throughout the policy development and implementation phases, keeping them informed of progress and seeking their input on emerging issues.What we are looking for:1. A bachelor's degree or higher in a relevant field, such as Info-comms technology; Computer/Computing Science; Computer/Computing Engineering; and Digital Engineering Studies. 2. Job holder must have substantial background in the tech industry, with a strong emphasis on emerging and disruptive technologies, and the regulatory landscape impacting the deployment of disruptive tech. 3. Experience in leading cross-functional teams and in managing complex projects, including budgeting, resource allocation and timeline management. 4. Excellent communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to be mobile, network, articulate and market SCDF's career information and initiatives to various audiences. 5. Ability to handle multiple projects and work efficiently in a fast-paced environment. 6. Good analytical skills to foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and informed decision-making, which are fundamental to a successful tech implementation. 7. Demonstrate strategic thinking capability to align objectives with broader organisational goals, contributing to the development and implementation of strategic plans and initiatives. 8. Capacity to build and develop high-performing teams, including recruiting, training, and mentoring employees to maximise their potential and contribute to the organisation's success.About MHA - Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF):The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) is a uniformed organisation under the purview of the Ministry of Home Affairs. The main role of SCDF is to provide fire-fighting, rescue and emergency ambulance services; mitigating hazardous materials incidents, as well as formulate, implement and enforce regulations on fire safety and civil defence shelter matters. In 1982, the National Civil Defence Plan was launched which spearheaded the emergency preparedness for the nation. With the enactment of the Civil Defence Act in 1986, the SCDF was established as an independent organisation under the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). In the same year, the Hotel New World collapse paved the way for joint operations between the SCDF and Singapore Fire Service (SFS). Due to the similarity in roles and functions, the SCDF and SFS were formally integrated on 15 April 1989. Over the years, the SCDF has improved its life saving operations through innovations and programmes to enhance her fire-fighting, rescue capabilities and public education plans. The Light Fire Attack Vehicle (The Red Rhino) and Tracked Fire-Fighting Vehicle are some of the customized solutions which the force has developed to increase its operational capabilities. The SCDF also actively engages the local community through its wide-ranging public educational programmes and community-based activities to enhance the resilience and emergency preparedness of the civilian population. Today, the Force is recognised by the population as a professional body of well-trained officers and men geared to respond to all types of life-threatening emergencies round-the-clock. An operationally ready SCDF, working hand-in-hand with a prepared and resilient population, helps to ensure that the nation is capable of handling any untoward eventualities.
