Operations Jobs in Singapore: Who's Hiring Right Now (Oct 2026)

You want an operations job in Singapore and you want to know who is actually hiring, not vague advice. Here's the current picture, pulled from the JobRise live jobs feed on 14 October 2026. Counts are open listings, not a market survey.

What the numbers say right now#

The Operations jobs in Singapore hub shows 109 open listings in this slice, 48 of those were posted in the last 30 days, and 27 went up in the last 7 days alone.

That last figure matters most. Fresh listings get far fewer applicants than ones sitting there for a month. Roughly a quarter of the stock is new.

Job types are heavily skewed. Full-time roles account for 103 of 109, and part-time and contract sit at 3 each, so if you need visa sponsorship or long-term stability, focus on the full-time block first.

Who's hiring, by name#

Fuku dominates the feed with 61 open listings, and their titles run to project and site work: "Electrical Project Manager", "Project Manager A&A/New Build", and "Maintenance Technician Class 1 Boiler". This is hands-on facilities and build work, not desk coordination.

Delivery Hero follows with 8 listings, then Stripe with 7. Rentokil Initial has 3 open roles, including field service work. VDL Enabling Technologies Group (Singapore) and Datadog sit at 2 each.

Smaller counts are still worth your time. LMAX Group has 1 listing: "Broker Operations and Technical Onboarding Graduate". Stranger Soccer has 2, including "Official Host". APM Monaco and MORROW & MORROW Medical both show 2. Sécheron Hasler Group is hiring a "Field Service Engineer", Rapsodo a "Mechanical Engineer".

The public sector appears too. MDDI, the Ministry of Digital Development and Information, has an "Assistant Manager/ Manager (Planning)" role open. Apply anyway.

What the mix tells you about the market#

Four different employer types show up in the same slice, and each hires for different reasons, so your search strategy should change depending on which block you're targeting first.

Big tech and fintech (Stripe, Datadog, LMAX Group) hire operations staff to keep platforms running, their roles tend to be process-heavy and vendor-facing, and you should expect take-home tasks and structured interview loops.

Industrial and facilities firms (Fuku, Rentokil Initial, VDL, Sécheron Hasler Group, Rapsodo) need people who can be on site, these jobs rarely allow remote work, but they do offer clearer progression if you have technical credentials.

Startups and consumer brands (Stranger Soccer, APM Monaco, Rapsodo) hire fewer roles at once but move fast. One good conversation can turn into an offer inside two weeks. That's the catch.

Agencies and staffing firms appear in the feed as listed employers, so read the listing carefully because if the employer name looks like a recruiter, the real workplace is a client you will learn about later in the process.

The country picture is bigger than this slice. The JobRise Hiring Report: Singapore shows 760 open listings across all categories, with 386 posted in the last 30 days. Operations is a meaningful slice of that, not the whole market.

One blunt note: no listing in this slice shows a salary. Budget for negotiation and ask about the range early.

How to apply this week#

Apply direct wherever you can. Company career pages and direct application links beat third-party forms. Recruiters in the feed are fine, but treat them as one channel among several.

Mirror the listing keywords. If the posting says "Project Manager A&A/New Build", use that exact phrase in your title line or summary when it fits your background. Do not invent experience to match, just use their vocabulary for real work you have done.

• Pick 5 target employers from the list above and open their careers page today
• Rewrite your headline and first 3 lines of your resume to match each listing's wording
• Run your resume through the free ATS checker before you submit anything
• Note the exact job title, employer, and date applied in a simple spreadsheet
• Apply to the 27 listings posted in the last 7 days first, they have the shortest queues
• Send a short follow-up message 5 working days after applying
• Track responses weekly and drop the tactics that produce nothing

A 7-step plan you can run in one week#

Day 1: Shortlist. Open the operations hub and filter to full-time, then write down the 10 roles that match your actual skills, not your wish list, because a shorter honest list beats a long fantasy one.

Day 2: Tailor. Rewrite your resume for the top 3, swap generic words for the listing's own terms, and keep each resume to 2 pages maximum.

Day 3: Check and submit. Run each resume through the free ATS resume checker and fix anything it flags, then submit all 3 with a short, specific cover note that names the role.

Day 4: Expand. Move to the next 4 roles and include at least one startup and one industrial employer so you are not betting on a single employer type.

Day 5: Network. Find the hiring manager or a team member on LinkedIn, then send a 2-line note: the role you applied for, and one concrete thing you would fix in their operations in the first month. Keep it short.

Day 6: Recruiters. Reply to any staffing firms in the feed with your updated resume and a clear statement of the titles you want, and ask what their client needs, not just what is open.

Day 7: Review. Look at your tracker, double down on whatever got a reply, and drop the applications older than 3 weeks with no response and stop refreshing them.

A worked example: rewriting a resume bullet#

Say you handled vendor scheduling for a facilities team. The Fuku listing for "Project Manager A&A/New Build" will not read that well as-is. Small fix. Big difference.

Before: "Responsible for coordinating vendors and scheduling maintenance work."

After: "Coordinated 12 vendors across 4 sites for A&A and new build projects, cutting scheduling delays by tracking open work orders weekly."

Same experience. Their keywords, your numbers, and a clear result. That is the pattern to repeat.

FAQ#

How current is this data?

Everything here comes from the JobRise live jobs feed as of 14 October 2026. Open listings change daily, so treat counts as a snapshot and re-check before you plan your week around them.

Do these employers sponsor work passes?

The listings in this slice do not say. Sponsorship depends on the role, your nationality, and current Ministry of Manpower rules, so ask the employer early and check the official MOM site for the requirements that apply to you.

Should I apply to roles listed by recruiters or staffing firms?

Yes, but read the listing twice. Ask which client the role is for, what the contract length is, and whether the role converts to permanent. Keep direct applications going in parallel.

Why is Fuku showing so many listings?

Fuku has 61 of the 109 open listings in this slice, mostly project, site, and maintenance titles. That suggests a large active hiring push in facilities and build work rather than a broad operations market.

What if I am entry level?

Only 2 of 109 listings look entry-level, including "Broker Operations and Technical Onboarding Graduate" at LMAX Group and "Junior Project Manager, Commercial" at EPOS. Apply to those first, then widen to adjacent titles where your school or internship work counts as related experience.
