Leaving school for construction? What every young worker should know
With thousands of young Australians entering apprenticeships and entry-level construction jobs, safety experts are urging school leavers to take their first day on site seriously, and to speak up when they don’t understand something.
National White Card Courses director Samuel Bohr noted construction remains one of Australia’s largest employing industries, with around 1.37 million people working in the sector as of 2026.
That’s an increase of 22,000 workers on the year prior and with so many new entrants to the sector, Mr Bohr said young people starting out in construction needed to understand that being new to an industry was not a reason to stay quiet about safety.
Innovation Takes Flight at Western Sydney Airport
The Western Sydney International (WSI) Airport is one of Australia’s most significant infrastructure projects – its first new major airport in over 50 years. With Sydney’s aviation capacity expected to double in the next 20 years, this landmark development is being built with longevity, functionality, and best practice at its core.
To help realise this vision, Fielders’ Design Solutions Group (DSG) partnered with lead contractor Multiplex to contribute an innovative structural decking solution.
Why these transferable skills are becoming an engineer’s greatest asset
The engineering career path is changing. Today’s engineers are increasingly moving between sectors, technologies and projects throughout their careers. An engineer might start in resources, transition into renewable energy, move into infrastructure delivery and later take on leadership responsibilities.
As career pathways become less linear, transferable skills are becoming more valuable than ever.
ACA Board women recognised in 100 Women in Construction list
The Australian Constructors Association’s (ACA) long-serving female Board directors have been recognised in the Top 100 Women in Construction 2026 list, highlighting the contribution women are making to the future of Australia’s construction industry. The Directors were recognised alongside many other women from ACA member companies whose leadership is helping drive change across the sector.
ACA President Annabel Crookes said the recognition reflected the significant contribution women are making across all areas of the construction industry.
