Applications

1. How do I apply for a job at SID?
Click here to apply.

You will be asked to log in with SingPass and complete an application form. Later on, you will need to provide relevant documents such as your resume and transcripts.

2. Who can apply for a position at SID?
You must be a Singapore citizen.

We welcome both fresh graduates and mid-career professionals from the private and public sectors.

3. Can I apply if I am not residing in Singapore?
It is not advisable to apply if you are a Singapore citizen residing outside Singapore and do not intend to return in the near term, because some parts of our recruitment process are conducted in-person. While you can still apply if you are prepared to return to Singapore for the in-person sessions, it may serve you better to apply when you are back in Singapore for a more substantial period of time.

4. I am currently a student. Can I submit my application for any of the job listings?
You should apply no earlier than in your final year of study, to keep pace with our recruitment process timeline which is about five months on average.

5. Where can I find available positions?
They are available here.

6. Can I apply for more than one position at the same time?
Yes, you may apply for multiple positions in Section A of your application form.

7. Can I update my job application after I have submitted it?
You will have to submit a fresh application.

If you are submitting another application, please indicate that your latest application will replace the earlier one in the “Remarks” section of the application form.

8. If my application is unsuccessful, can I re-apply?
If you have acquired new skills or work experience since your last application, you are welcome to re-apply. Your new application will be assessed independently on its own merits.

9. Do you provide feedback if my application is unsuccessful?
All applications are assessed vigorously based on stringent criteria such as an applicant's qualifications, relevant work experience and skills, and performance in tests and at interviews.

Due to the sensitive nature of our organisation, we cannot provide such feedback.

10. What if I change my mind and want to withdraw my application?
You can inform us via email at SIDrecruitment@mindef.gov.sg.
