To summarise:
The decade of 2020 - 2030 is going to see exponential improvement of infrastructure nation wide. Right now is absolutely the right time to be looking at getting into the industry.
With the certainty any one with a trade or set off relevant skills will be busy with work for years to come. Making a healthy salary with lots of other benefits such as RDO's, holidays and progression opportunities.
As well as trades, labour and facilities management, these projects all demand dedicated human resources teams, administration staff, document controllers..
not least to say the need for supervisors, engineers, HSE inspectors & project directors Is overwhelming, state governments have even started campaigns to poach international candidates to fill these roles to meet demands.
Capiable Infrastructure is absolutely necessary to keep the country moving forward and the road map ahead looks promising.
