Your spouse's employer will arrange the visas, as the company will be his sponsor. You will fill out or sign forms, but the business of actually getting the visas won't be your responsibility at all.

If you want to work yourself, you need to investigate your status as a 'trailing spouse'. Some countries, like Japan, allow a trailing spouse to work. Others, like the US, usually don't.

When your husband gets an offer, ask the company for an information packet of some sort. Singapore is bringing in so many workers that the employers should have this whole process down pat. There have even been articles about the population not even looking Chinese any more, since there are so many high tech workers coming in from all over the world, and so many construction workers from Indonesia.
