Fancy a job at the airport? Changi Airport is hiring.

The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) is looking for professionals, managers, executives and technical officers to fill around 400 new job positions available. This is in preparation for the upcoming corporatisation of Singapore Changi Airport and the restructuring of the existing CAAS on July 1, 2009.

The vacancies are in both the restructured CAAS ('NewCAA') and the new airport company ('NewCo').

Professionals with tertiary qualifications such as engineers, accountants and managers are being targeted in this recruitment drive. They will undertake key roles in the strategic, regulatory and airport operations functions.

CAAS is also on the hunt for executives and technical officers for administrative and technical building maintenance support.

Mr Lim Kim Choon, CAAS Director-General and Chief Executive Officer said: "The objective of corporatisation is to enhance Changi Airport's competitiveness and strengthen our aviation hub status. The corporatisation and restructuring exercise seeks to create two equally strong entities with a good share of its current talents so that they are able to operate smoothly upon separation."

He continued: "In addition, the corporatisation process presents new employment opportunities as the new entities create over 400 new positions to augment the existing CAAS' staff strength."
