Hello,
I keep it as short as possible: I am 28 years old and have been working as a chemical technician in Germany for around 3 years. I have a certification by a german educational institute that I am a certified chemical technician. It is not a university degree. My job here involves supervising chemical manufacturing processes and operate as a technician. It is definitely a blue collar job but anyways also here big companies here (like BASF, Bayer) require a certification/qualification to work in that position.
Do you think I can find a job like that in Singapore?
I have found job advertisements that match me but I’m not sure if an employer would go through that employment Pass to hire me because it is not a ‚high skilled‘ position like manager or banker.
Where should I start? Should I find a recruitment agency or apply directly to a company?
Maybe you have some tips for me.
Is my plan even realistic or are there maybe some problems I don’t know about yet like no demand, only citizens etc.
Thank you in advance

Moving to Singapore to work as technician in petrochemical industry realistic?
Re: Moving to Singapore to work as technician in petrochemical industry realistic?
No. No chance. This is a field dominated by locals and Malaysians. Even if you found a job the wage would be too low to be liveable or the MOM won't issue a work pass for a foreigner.
There are FIVE local polytechs pumping out technicians every 6 months. There is no lack of qualified techs here for this work.
