Skills in demand

Environmental Specialists – Ongoing concerns about the conservation and protection of Australia’s environment remains a priority at a National, Local and Corporate level. Experienced Fauna, Flora and general environmental specialists are in demand across the Country.

Exploration – An influx of new funding for both onshore and offshore exploration has prompted the need for professionals with strong exploration skills, particularly in geosciences and seismic interpretation.

Construction – With several of the mega-projects in Australia reaching the construction phase, we have seen an increase in the volume of requests for supervisory and trades personnel with experience of working on LNG projects.

Operations & Maintenance – As the number of operational LNG trains in Australia starts to increase, so does the requirement for candidates with experience in operating and maintaining these facilities. Mindful of the surge in demand, clients are already starting to invest in recruitment and training.

Tendering Specialists – The large volume of contracts currently being tendered for has lead to an escalation in the need for Contracts Administrators, Coordinators and Specialists. Those with exposure to pre-award activities are highly sought after.
