In the beginning you will find this job difficult and stressful but after awhile....its like a piece of cake.
You have container rates incentives...depending which company you work for....5 cent per container and 10 cent per container etcs. Average 4000 containers a month is not a problem to achieve when you gain more experience....usually within 2 or 3 months. Many seniors WOS can achieve more than 5000 containers a month. PSA WOS some of them no container rates incentive.
You can apply directly through...
1. PSA website - https://www.singaporepsa.com/
if you fail to get into PSA...other alternative is to apply with the contractors of PSA...I would recommend you to apply....
1. TNS Logistics Pte Ltd - http://www.tnsgroup.com.sg/
2. BIGFOOT Logistics Pte Ltd - http://www.bigfootgroups.com/
there are others but these two companies above are ok...read your employment contract before you sign them. However, TNS has been in this trade with PSA for decades.
Good luck to you.
Those NS servicemen who are awaiting for ORD or already ORD and looking for a job....the WOS job is suitable for you. I think those from the SAF will be really suitable for this job. If you can go through SAF during NS then this is chicken feet for you. Those of you who are still searching for a job urgently...you can be in this line...until such time you find the dream job you want....
And those who have no good academic qualification....and you have good discipline, hard working, willing to learn, self-motivated, need good income and stable career....this job too is suitable for you as long you persevere in this job. You think you have that leadership quality....then this is the job for you too. This job is a real man job...lols.

For those of you who are applying the WHARF OPERATION SUPERVISOR position through the PSA contractors, no need to write to them, just give them a call directly and ask for the person in charge of recruiting WOS. They probably will ask you to come down for interview. They really need people now to work at the PSA Terminals.
