Australia's population is booming – but our infrastructure is getting left behind. Increased demand for housing, road and rail developments and the National Broadband Network (NBN) are just some of the infrastructure projects driving multimillion-dollar growth in the construction industry. The demand for skilled construction and engineering managers is rising. Employers need professionals with civil engineering experience who can also meet the demands of multidisciplinary construction environments.
