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.
Bradfield City biosolar roof sets new standard for climate-resilient cities
A study of Bradfield City’s First Building green roof confirms that combining native rooftop gardens with solar panels reduces urban heat, increases renewable energy generation and supports local biodiversity.
The research verified that the biosolar green roof increased solar energy generation by up to 23.25 per cent during extreme heat events, while reducing roof temperatures by up to 28°C compared with a conventional roof. The study also found the roof retained an average of 73 per cent of stormwater runoff, removed more than 90 per cent of key pollutants and supported 39 species of birds, insects, mammals and gastropods, demonstrating the benefits of integrating green infrastructure into urban development.
The comprehensive performance assessment of the 1,300-square-metre biosolar green roof was led by the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) in collaboration with the Bradfield Development Authority (BDA).
Five engineering skills that will matter most in the next decade
The engineering profession is helping solve some of society’s biggest challenges, from decarbonisation and infrastructure resilience to digital transformation.
While technical knowledge remains essential, the next generation of engineering success will be shaped by a broader set of capabilities. Here are our top five.
