PASIG CITY, (PIA) -- Makati City Mayor Abby Binay recently announced the opening of the first wave of job opportunities under the Makati Subway project.

“As promised earlier, the Makati Subway will be generating jobs and providing an additional source of income for our Makatizens and their families. This project will forever change the landscape of Makati, and it is an honor for me and my administration to leave our beloved city this legacy,” Mayor Binay said.

The subway project, also called the Makati Intra-city Subway or (MkTr), is an 11-kilometer underground rapid transit line that will link establishments across the Makati business district. The system will have two tracks, 10 underground stations, and air-conditioned coaches which can accommodate 200 persons per car. It has a train yard, maintenance depot, and central command center at ground level. 

Likewise, the project is well underway and construction and planning stages are in full swing.

Mayor Abby noted that said project is in need for skilled and experienced engineers and other professionals to help complete the project.

Among the job vacancies are: BIM Specialist of Engineering Technology Department, Manager of Engineering Technology Department, Engineering Technician, Surveying Engineer, Electrician, and Engineering Technicians.

Binay added that Makati residents will be prioritized in the job hiring, but the 22 job vacancies may also be filled by non-Makati residents who are qualified for the roles.

The Makati Subway project also needs administrative personnel, an office driver, logistics personnel, and a chef. 

She also explained that additional skilled employees are required to expand the project team and ensure the orderly development of the project. Interested applicants may send their resumes to Mr. Danny Liang at liang_diyu@163.com.

Earlier, Mayor Abby said the subway project will create 10,000 new jobs for the construction and operation of the train system alone. (My Makati/PIA-NCR)
