In 2005, at the age of 21 while pursuing his undergraduate studies, Chia co-founded Timbre Group with Danny Loong, initially as a platform for Singaporean musicians to showcase their talent while earning a living from their craft.

In 2014, the Junior Chamber International Singapore honored Edward as one of the Ten Outstanding Young Persons under the Business, Economic, and/or Entrepreneurial Accomplishment category.

After stepping down as director of Timbre Group in June 2021, Chia founded Life Lab Resources, where he serves as Managing Director. The company focuses on circular economy solutions by upcycling food waste into aquaculture feed to reduce carbon emissions and support sustainable food systems. As a Member of Parliament, Chia serves as deputy chairman of the Government Parliamentary Committee under Finance, Trade and Industry and Transport, advocating for small and medium-sized enterprises, sustainability initiatives, and mental health support in the workplace.
