Crane operators to be in demand in Singapore

$7,000 take-home pay for them.

According to National Development Minister Khaw Boon Wan, crane operators will be very much needed to upgrade Singapore's construction productivity. He noted that to attract more locals to the trade, BCA recently launched a 1-year ‘Crane Apprenticeship Programme’ (CAP).

He noted, "this comes with an attractive remuneration package and upgrading opportunities. The crane apprentice will undergo a 12-day crane operation training and skill certification at the BCA Academy before embarking on the CAP, once he has obtained his crane licence from the Ministry of Manpower."

The programme rolls out its first batch of apprentices this month.

He cited that based on a 2012 BCA survey, the monthly gross salary (including overtime pay and allowances) of relatively new crane operators can reach $4,000. Those with more years of experience can take home a monthly gross pay of $6,000 to $7,000.
