• Work Pass Management:
  Handle new applications, renewals, and cancellations for various work passes (e.g., WP, S Pass, EP) for marine trade roles. Stay current on MOM quota, R2/DR limits, and source country restrictions.
• Marine HR Operations:
  Support day-to-day HR processes including onboarding, offboarding, contract renewals, timesheet validation, and dormitory/workforce housing matters.
• Client Liaison & Problem Solver:
  Be the go-to person for HR-related queries from the client and their workforce. Proactively flag issues and provide solutions to ensure operational continuity.
• Regulatory Compliance:
  Ensure all HR practices comply with MOM regulations, marine-specific safety standards, and audit requirements.

What We're Looking For:

• Prior experience handling HR/payroll for marine, construction, or heavy industries.
• Strong knowledge of Singapore employment laws and MOM work pass regulations.
• Familiarity with HR or payroll systems (e.g., InfoTech, Payboy, Talenox, QuickHR, etc.).
• Understanding of marine workforce arrangements such as shift work, OT, levy calculation, and worker housing.
• Detail-oriented with excellent organizational and communication skills.
• Ability to work independently and manage HR operations with minimal supervision.
