What The Role Is
Over the years, URA has spearheaded efforts to strengthen urban planning and design workflows through the application of urban science, geospatial and data analytics, modelling and simulation (M&S), and AI technologies.
In 2022, URA was designated as the Whole-of-Government (WOG) Urban Planning & Design Technology Centre of Excellence (URBEX), to lead the planning and design sector in building up these strategic capabilities. The Design & Planning Lab (DPLab) is a multi-disciplinary team in URA which drives URBEX efforts. In recognition of our work, URA was conferred the 2024 Esri Special Achievement in Geographic Information System (GIS) Award for demonstrating vision, leadership and innovation in the use of GIS technology. URA was also awarded the Esri Singapore GeoInnovation Award in 2024 for being amongst Singapore’s most progressive organisations in the use of geospatial solutions to transform the future. Our flagship product, ePlanner (a web-based geospatial platform that brings digital planning tools to WOG) also won the Excellence Award at the Singapore Public Service’s Science, Technology and Engineering Conference 2024.
In DPLab, you will work alongside talented individuals with expertise in wide-ranging domains including data policy, governance, strategy and engineering, product strategy, business analysis, software engineering, cloud engineering, urban design technologies, data science, AI/Machine Learning, and M&S. You will also work closely with planners, architects, and policymakers to co-create digital solutions that contribute to enhancing the liveability, sustainability and resilience of our city-state.

What You Will Be Working On
- Conduct environmental modelling such as outdoor thermal comfort modelling and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) wind flow modelling, etc.
- Develop/refine scripts (e.g. Python, Grasshopper on Rhino) to automate data processing/ preparation for further analysis.
- Perform data analytics and visualization of environmental sensor data collected.
Learning Outcomes: - Gain expertise on environmental modelling methodology (wind flow, thermal comfort, sky view factor).
- Gain understanding of how environmental modelling can help to improve urban design strategies for better outdoor thermal comfort and liveability outcome.
What we are looking for
- Internship Period for any 6-months between Aug 2026 - Feb 2027. Full-time internship preferred.
Note: To facilitate the hiring process, please state your availability (full-time/part-time), including specific start and end date in your resume or application form. - Polytechnic / Undergraduate / students pursuing Architecture/ Environmental Engineering/ Mechanical Engineering / Sustainable Built Environment
- Familiarity with CAD software like Rhino will be a plus.
