Well after some positive signs in October, November really seems to have been the month where the positive economic indicators for the infrastructure construction industry are starting to bear some fruit.
With business conditions on the improve, confidence is returning to the infrastructure construction market; particularly from the tier 2-4 contractors. Across the industry companies are becoming increasingly busy tendering, have a much more positive outlook on what lies ahead in 2014 and are bringing new talent into their organisations.
In terms of demand for people, Project Managers are hot property at the moment, particularly those who have worked in self-performed work environments and/or have delivered Vic Roads projects. Our challenge is going to be in six months time to try and get back talent to Victoria who have moved interstate for work opportunities over the last 2/3 years when our marketplace has been suppressed.
On the project front, commercial building is gathering momentum, the land development sector is slowly coming to life, the airport have let contracts, the port are not far away from letting contracts and VicRoads are now becoming a lot more active. And, of course the East-West link and the Port of Hastings are on a lot of minds.
If we can assist you with any current recruitment requirements please let us know, as with many years proven experience in recruiting for the Victorian Infrastructure industry, we can connect you with high quality talent quickly.
