The scale of demand for skills across the construction industry is starting to exceed capacity, particularly in engineering occupations. To address the challenges and gaps around career progression and development of construction engineers, the Australian Constructors Association and Engineers Australia have collaborated to develop a new Construction Engineer Learning and Development Guide.
This industry-led initiative seeks to improve consistency in the training and development of engineers across the construction sector and to pave a pathway for construction engineers to be globally recognised in their area of expertise.
We encourage industry to incorporate these competencies into their current learning and development frameworks to improve consistency of skills across the sector.
The Construction Engineering Learning and Development Guide has been developed to align with the Engineers Australia Chartered Elements of Competence and complement existing organisational learning and development pathways.
Ultimately, this sets the foundations for a new Construction Area of Practice for global recognition of construction engineers.
