Principal/Senior Modelling & Simulation Specialist (Environmental M&S) at Urban Redevelopment Authority Of Singapore (Ura) in Singapore, Singapore | Kablio

Role

Description

cfd modelling

acoustic simulation

environmental m&s

technical review

sensor network

data validation

Working with planners and architects to perform multi-physics environmental modelling to optimise land use and urban design plans for enhanced sustainability and liveability. This involves applying Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for wind flow, thermal comfort and pollutant dispersion modelling, acoustic simulation for transportation noise modelling and other relevant environmental factors to create more comfortable and liveable urban spaces..
Partnering policymakers in studying and putting in place the required enablers to scale up the use of robust Environmental M&S (e.g. establishment of technical review and verification processes for thermal comfort modelling methodologies, as well as performance criteria for Environmental M&S studies).
Facilitate the implementation of an island-wide wind sensor network strategy with partners from agencies and Institutes of Higher Learning to collect required environmental data to validate/refine M&S methodologies.

Requirements

cfd modelling

3d gis

3d cad

carbon accounting

advanced degree

project management

Keen interest in cities and application of Environmental M&S to improve urban planning and design.
Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
Doctorate or Master's degree in Engineering, Environmental Science, Urban Planning, Architecture, or a related field is preferred. Candidates with a Bachelor's degree and substantial relevant experience will also be considered.
Ability to work well in cross-functional and multi-disciplinary teams (e.g. with software engineers and business analysts to develop web-based applications for urban planning).
Experience with carbon accounting and sustainability metrics in urban environments.
Excellent project management skills.
Minimum 5 years of relevant experience in Environmental M&S, particularly in use of commercial or open-sourced CFD models to support urban planning and design studies.
Proficient in use of 3D GIS and 3D CAD modelling software.

Overview

Founded in 1974

Year of establishment

The year URA was established under the Ministry of National Development.

55 Planning Areas

Land Use Management

Number of planning areas where URA dictates land use.

7,000 Buildings

Conservation Efforts

Number of buildings conserved since the Conservation Master Plan of 1989.

6.5 Ha Sold

Land Sale Record

Record-breaking land sale in Jurong Lake District in 2023.

As the national development regulator, it approves projects, manages land sales, and shapes urban design for iconic zones like Marina Bay and Orchard Road.
It drives major precincts like Jurong Lake and Punggol Digital District, weaving mixed-use, walkable hubs with commercial, residential and lifestyle appeal.
It manages public car parks, runs the Singapore City Gallery, and licenses underground infrastructure use.
Through architectural competitions and landmark site policies, it encourages standout, futuristic buildings like Singapore’s soon-to-be-tallest at 8 Shenton Way.
It merges smart-city tech with physical design to future-proof the city using data-driven digital planning tools and AI.
