Fresh graduates start at the Senior Officer level in EDB. The vacancies are posted on our website: http://www.sedb.com/careers

For fresh graduates, we look for people with good Honours degrees. That usually means a Second Upper and above. Do not worry if you do not have that, you can always write in to us since we so take into consideration other factors such as your co-curricular activities and other qualities. For experienced applicants, we will assess based on the strengths and applicability of your work experience.

You will typically go through two to three rounds of interviews. During the course of the interviews, you will get the opportunity to meet with our Human Resources colleagues, our Line Managers and our top management.

EDB believes in grooming our people to be leaders of the future. Our management team commits much of their time to mentoring and coaching our officers. Opportunities are abundant for officers to develop to their fullest potentials through customised career paths.
