MTI is generally a fast-paced Ministry. I would think you'd need to be an efficient officer for the procurement role and of course, any prior experience in procurement in the public service will be beneficial. Whether or not there's work-life balance, it depends. If you're efficient and effective, you wouldn't need to always do OT or bring your work home over the weekends. If you're looking for a relaxed and lepak workplace, MTI is not the place for you. It's a place where you can learn a lot if you are hardworking enough.
