Experiencing
this first-hand, Daryl Chew, NTU Civil Engineering graduate and Gold Medalist (Class of 2018), works at an integrated
construction and prefabrication hub as an Innovation and Sustainability
Lead. In his role, he oversees the automated production of precast
components and works on research initiatives related to emerging
technologies in DfMA and Sustainability. He
strongly believes that how the built environment will transform in the next
10 years will depend on the next batch of Singaporeans joining the built
environment workforce, especially the engineers who are the catalyst
towards the success of any technological advancements.
To
help connect and enhance collaboration amongst all stakeholders in the
built environment sector, the industry is also digitalising workflows
throughout the building lifecycle – from design, off-site fabrication,
on-site assembly to the operations and maintenance of buildings. Work is
moving at a faster pace as digitalisation facilitates checking, better planning and coordination as everyone is put on the same
page.
If
it has crossed your mind to contribute towards a more sustainable
Singapore, the industry provides an opportunity for
environmentalists-at-heart to construct greener buildings for our future
generation. Designed and equipped with energy efficient solutions and the
ability to harness solar power for its energy needs, join us in working
towards super low energy buildings.
Finally,
transformation is not complete without good HR and talent development
practices. Industry firms are starting to adapt practices in a bid to
attract and retain more talents. Some of the initiatives include flexi-week
working arrangement, overseas development opportunities, mentorship
programme and access to global expertise skill-sharing network to support
staff’s personal growth and professional relationships.
You can do your part to
transform the industry and build a more liveable, greener Singapore
together with us. We look forward to having you join us!
