Perth and Western Australia Infrastructure Projects and Jobs

Western Australia’s job economy remains driven by mining and petroleum and the large infrastructure projects that flow on from those industries. If you’re planning a move to Perth, then the mining industry or these projects below are likely to be looking for skilled and qualified staff like you.

Perth Airport: The new runway project is a complex, large scale civil engineering project that will take between four and five years to construct, including airspace design and testing.
Elizabeth Quay: The Towers construction project is one of the major projects connected to the rejuvenation of Elizabeth Quay, designed to create a ‘gateway experience’ that links directly to tourist attractions while creating a hub for both residents and visitors to enjoy.
Perth City Link: Perth City Link will reconnect the CBD with Northbridge for the first time in 100 years, delivering improved access and connectivity. It is expected that the private development lots (including offices, hotels and apartments) and public spaces will be completed by 2025.
Riverside: This project will transform the eastern gateway to the city. The project includes a mix of residential, commercial and public spaces which capitalise on the unique river-front setting to become a cosmopolitan waterfront community and tourist destination.
Perth Stadium: A new multi-million dollar pedestrian walkway connecting East Perth to the 60,000 seat Perth Stadium is spurring on development in the new inner-city hub.
New WA Museum: WA is embarking on one of the most significant museum redevelopments in the world at this time. The new building will integrate with the refurbished heritage buildings to display the State collection in contemporary and innovative ways.
