With multiple large-scale projects, both proposed and underway, the mining and construction industry is rife with opportunity.
A year ago, mining and construction services were suffering. The completion of road tunnel projects coupled with the mining downturn caused the industry to enter a slump. This was highlighted by a large number of redundancies and company closures across the sector. Companies that focused on residential projects did well during this time, however many others experienced a period of low earnings.
Over the last 6-12 months, there has been a strong increase in opportunities in the sector, and with multiple large-scale projects underway it is expected that the industry will have continued success.
Projects underway include:
- Casino development
- Cross River Rail
- Howard Smith Wharves
- New Runway at Brisbane Airport
In addition to these projects, the following projects have been proposed:
- Proposed Brisbane Metro
- Brisbane Live (Market Led Proposal)
- Proposed new works at Eagle Street pier (market-led proposal)
- Proposed works at 300 George Street
These projects signal great things for the construction industry, and opportunities are abundant for engineers, surveyors, planners, procurement and contract managers, construction workers, traffic controllers, safety officers, and many more.
