Looking to Hire Warehouse Workers in Singapore? We Can Help

Many locals avoid physically demanding warehouse jobs, but you can hire foreign workers if you follow MOM rules. This means advertising the job locally first, ensuring your foreign worker quota is within limits, and paying the levy. Trinity Pass handles everything — sourcing candidates, applying for Work Permits or S Passes, and ensuring compliance — so you can hire warehouse crew and packers in Singapore without hassle.

We supply all kinds of warehouse staff: warehouse assistants, packers, forklift operators, storekeepers, delivery support, and even supervisors. Many of our Burmese candidates have logistics or manufacturing experience, stamina, and strong work ethics. Just tell us what you need — we’ll find the right fit.

Thanks to our pipeline of MOM-ready candidates, you can start interviews within a week. Work Permits usually take 1–2 weeks to approve; S Passes can take a bit longer. From engagement to start date, most hires are ready in 3–5 weeks.

Most Burmese candidates speak basic or fluent English and adapt well. We brief them on workplace norms and safety practices to ease their transition. Employers often find them polite, eager to learn, and easy to integrate. If any issues arise, we’re here to help resolve them.

You’ll need to pay the monthly levy, provide medical insurance, and arrange acceptable housing. Standard employment laws apply, including rest days and overtime. We’ll advise you on levy rates, security bonds, and ensure everything is set up correctly — then you just maintain the routine.

Offer competitive wages and attractive benefits, ideally something unique compared to competitors. Highlight what sets your workplace apart — such as a positive culture, growth opportunities, or employee engagement programmes. Engaged and fairly treated workers are more likely to stay.

It depends on experience, skills, and location. Generally, warehouse workers earn between SGD 1,700 and SGD 2,400 per month. Offshore sites, like Jurong Island, often pay more. Additional skills, such as forklift operation or quality control, can also raise the pay. What matters most is offering a salary that fairly reflects a worker’s skills, experience, and MOM guidelines.

Good management starts with clear communication and active engagement — encourage feedback and create a safe space for concerns. Recognise good performance, be transparent about goals and changes, and invest in training and development. Make safety a priority by providing the right equipment, regular training, and proper protocols.

Warehouse workers need a mix of physical, technical, and soft skills. Physical fitness and stamina are essential for lifting, standing, and moving throughout shifts. Technical skills, like operating forklifts or using inventory systems, are also valuable. Soft skills — such as time management, teamwork, attention to detail, and communication — help them excel.

You can post on job boards like Indeed or JobStreet, use industry-specific platforms, share roles on social media, and encourage employee referrals. These channels can work well, but they require time and effort to manage. Many employers prefer to partner with a warehouse staffing agency. Agencies provide pre-screened, motivated candidates, and handle the process efficiently — from sourcing to paperwork — so you can focus on running your business.

Warehouse workers keep operations running smoothly. They move, organise, and manage goods, ensuring items are received, stored, and shipped efficiently. Common tasks include unloading shipments, sorting inventory, packing orders, creating invoices, and reporting safety hazards to maintain a clean, safe environment.
