Waterways Watch Society (WWS) is a non-governmental and non-profit environmental organisation, committed to foster appreciation and promote conservation of our environment, especially the waterways in Singapore. Established in 1998 with only 27 members, WWS has grown to about 1000 volunteers today, with ages ranging between 5 to 80 years old and with people from all walks of life. Inspired by the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew’s efforts to clean up the Singapore River and Kallang Basin in the 1970s, the initial focus of Waterways Watch Society’s environmental cause was to keep Singapore’s waterways clean and safe for all to enjoy by organising voluntary clean-up patrols on the weekends. Over the past two decades, our mission has broadened beyond our clean-up patrols to include providing environmental educational programmes to spread awareness on the importance of keeping our waterways clean and safe and rally individuals to do their part for our environment.
We're looking for team players with a passion for sustainable environment change to join our team on a full-time basis.
The ideal candidate is someone who loves the environment, enjoys being outdoors but also able to function in an office environment.
The society operates on weekends, so applicants must be able to commit to work during weekends (either Saturday or Sunday). In essence, it will be a 5.5 day work week.
Our team is lean and the successful candidate will be taking on multiple roles across different job functions.
