Engineering Recruitment Boom in Australia: Explore Brisbane as New World City

The engineering sector has been the largest non-services sector and the cornerstone of the Australian economy. It has employed 1.1 million people over the years; both local and overseas workers. For the second and last instalment of this series which tackles the engineering recruitment boom in the Land Down Under, let’s explore Brisbane as it transitions into a ‘new world city’.

New World City

 

Within a decade, Brisbane is projected to be Australia’s ‘new world city’. The reinvigoration of its built environment and lining up of major engineering projects are underway to modernize the city and to eventually enhance its appeal in the international arena. From a mining boom, the city has been slowly transferring to an engineering boom.

Billions of dollars’ worth of major engineering projects are rapidly changing the face of Brisbane. New opportunities pose a wealth of opportunity for investors and a leap for engineering recruitment.

Brisbane has been positioning itself as a leader in smarter infrastructure aside from being the largest economic hub in Oceania. Engineering, innovation, and digital technology were combined to challenge existing barriers and to consider new opportunities for smarter engineering. The Queensland Government invested in adopting a smarter and more sustainable engineering pipeline to prepare new breeds of workforce to the elevated level of deliverables in the near future.

Despite the city’s unique demographic, climatic, geographic, and economic characteristics, challenges in traditional engineering solutions push for a revolution towards a smarter industry. To compete globally, Brisbane initiated efforts to drive innovation to improve all-encompassing lifestyle within the most populous city in Queensland.

Engineering Recruitment

Engineering has been a significant component of Queensland’s economy. To cater to this growth in investment, Brisbane’s engineering recruitment has been growing fivefold year by year. With its well-established and firm infrastructure network, this city has been the principal center of Australia’s fastest-growing region.

Considering the engineering pipeline of the Oceania region, Brisbane is clearly concentrated with most of the current and pending developments. If Melbourne markets its apartment industry, Brisbane reflects strength in its global investment amounting to an outstanding $18 billion for its hotel market. Its tourism and hospitality industry significantly propel its engineering industry. Leisure infrastructure in its metropolitan economy impacts engineering recruitment in a positive way.

Like Melbourne, engineering boom certainly attracts more skilled migrants from overseas and interstate. With the increase in population is an increasing demand for adequate health, entertainment, and transport facilities. Population growth has been a positive sign for Brisbane as it indicated strong employment opportunities, especially in its engineering recruitment.

Engineering Recruitment Boom in Australia: Dive in Melbourne’s Sea of Cranes

The engineering sector has been the largest non-services sector and the cornerstone of the Australian economy. It has employed 1.1 million people over the years; both local and overseas workers. For the first instalment of this two-part series which tackles the engineering recruitment boom in the Land Down Under, let’s first dive into the vast sea of cranes of Melbourne.

Sea of Cranes

The number of cranes dotting the skyline signifies how successful the engineering industry of a city has been. Melbourne, Australia’s fastest-growing city, shows an infrastructure boom with a highly- evident sea of cranes in its residential and commercial areas. Engineering companies are flourishing with cranes erected almost anywhere.

The city was categorized in the second circuit of capital where engineering replaces manufacturing as the key driver of growth. To prepare for this, the Victorian government appropriated major engineering investments to propel these developments.

It was predicted by the Federal Government that the engineering recruitment of Melbourne will boom by 10.9 per cent within five years to 2022 with a projection to be the next largest city by 2046, overtaking Sydney as the epicenter of engineering in Australia. The engineering industry of Melbourne has been extremely busy, and this opens a lot of doors for various foreign engineering professionals looking to develop their career overseas.

Engineering Recruitment

 

Fueled by multi-billion-dollar projects, the success of Melbourne’s engineering industry suggests millions of jobs be created. The city’s economy heavily relies on overseas engineering recruitment to drive employment, keeping building more buildings within one of the most populous cities in Australia.

Continuous creation of infrastructure projects keeps the sector in business and in providing work to thousands of engineering talents. However, a real drought of quality local engineering candidates who can deliver builds at a high standard has been foreseen by various specialist recruiters. Overseas engineering recruitment increasingly boosts employment across its local economy.

Shane Garrett, an economist from the Housing Industry Association (HIA), cited that residential building activities have dwindled a few from its peak, yet it remained very elevated by historical standards. Along with this rise is the acceleration of engineering recruitment index for the past six months. Apparently, it has been at its fastest pace while even hitting an all-time high.

The employment growth and the increasing trend in engineering recruitment in Melbourne suggest a strong sign of confidence for the industry. Engineering activities have been “generally expanding” that makes its performance deliveries and employment playing well in the national composite index.

Engineering recruitment in Melbourne has been at its busiest. $100 million+ project space is still busy with several engineering projects from planning to the early stages of construction. The industry remains strong against tumbling approvals and the surge of the market for apartments with continuous migration from overseas and interstate. Melbourne has been welcoming 100,000 new residents year by year, which include Filipino workers and their families, which by the way are composite of its growing engineering workforce.

Construction Recruitment Agencies Aiding Construction Renaissance

Timetric, a construction journal, has been predicting that Russian construction recruitment signals return to growth as more and more investors are gaining confidence in their construction industry. Russian construction is one of the world’s largest. Moscow, the country’s capital, is full-packed with large-scale projects with its urban expansion. The country is anticipating making use of construction recruitment agencies now more than ever.

Apart from urban development and construction of railways, residential constructions are on the rise to revive its build and interiors sector. Demand for housing dramatically reaches a record high of 37.5%. Construction plans include renovation of tens of thousands of housing blocks, the building of new subway stations, and hundred kilometers of new roads.  Hence, the rise of construction recruitment agencies offering and providing similar talent acquisition services to meet these upcoming demands.

Rensol Recruitment, one of the leading construction recruitment agencies in the Philippines to Russia with the highest number of ongoing deployment, has the most active recruitment of skilled professionals bound to some of the biggest construction projects in the largest country in the world.

Rensol, as one of the best construction recruitment agencies in the Philippines, has deployed thousands of Filipino skilled professionals to big oil, gas, chemical, engineering and construction projects in the country. There is still an ongoing recruitment as there are still thousands of skilled workers in the pending roll to be deployed to Russia.

Russia has been diligent with illegal aliens and illegal foreign workers entering their country. POEA has been reminding workers and even clients to only deal with legitimate construction recruitment agencies.

One of Rensol’s first and lasting accounts is Renaissance Heavy Industries, the construction branch of Rönesans Holding and also the leading Turkish Construction contractor in Russia. They are responsible for the building of light production plants, heavy industry plants, energy plants, infrastructure plants, shopping malls, offices, hotels, factories, and government buildings in the World’s largest country.

Rensol believes that a successful recruitment practice in construction should not just involve finding qualified workers, but also those who can fit the work environment and could stay for a longer time. It was among construction recruitment agencies where attracting of skilled professionals start.

Japan’s Automotive Industry Turns Global

Japan, despite being denied of rich resources, is blessed with the gifts of innovative and tech-minded people. Unfortunately, the country suffers from an abundance of jobs, yet too few workers are available to fill in every vacancy. As per Japan Times, the low fertility rate in the country and high life expectancy impacts the number of the local workforce. Many businesses in Japan are suffering from attracting the right number of employees they need. The skilled level of Japan’s Automotive Industry for one, being less sought-after, have been nearly impossible from being filled.

It is an important aspect to take notice that the local younger generation is not attracted to the skilled and mechanical posts of Japan’s Automotive Industry. The industry is going out of skilled and efficient workers. People are mostly in their retirement age and automakers couldn’t find a younger replacement for each of them. This is even with the Japanese world-known talent management schemes which include egalitarian compensation, lifetime employment, and tenure-based advancement.

In a study by the Recruit Works Institute, one in three Japanese companies are consistently failing to meet recruitment targets. The said tight labor market pushes for fewer job inquiries from workers for a common job title. Japan’s Automotive Industry has inexorably shrinking working-age population and there is no way of expanding the labor pool to correspond every job seeker to the abundance of jobs accordingly.

Turning Global

Japanese are very welcoming when it comes to dealing with international partners. With a stronger yen and undeniable shrinking of its domestic market, many companies under Japan’s Automotive Industry are trying to consider global recruitment in the coming of the new age, this is despite cultural and language barriers that some had found frustrating. Japan is still less global compared to its neighbouring countries as their way into globalization is still a work in progress.

Japan, being a monocultural and monolinguist country, has been critically trying to move to English as it opens itself to the vast world of talent. Little by little, companies are realizing the importance of embracing globalization and considering English as a second language to attain a rich exchange of talented people, especially In Asia.

Companies within Japan’s Automotive Industry are credible enough to be global leaders given their adeptness in manufacturing and technological prowess. Even in a slower pace, Japan as a sleeping giant is beginning to wake up. They have started by the recruitment of foreign automotive executives to take care of their international relations.

The role of automotive recruitment agencies like Rensol Recruitment is to promote active participation among the labour force by encouraging diversity in the workplace. Rensol’s major role is to help the most-fitting automotive and mechanical job seekers and employers find each other. Japan’s Automotive Industry is a goldmine and its entrance into the international job market is a big opportunity for a rich cultural and economic exchange for labor-rich countries.

Allow us to help grow your business and get you connected to the best automotive professionals available.

The Thriving Workforce: Oil-Gas Australia

Oil-Gas Australia is undoubtedly booming and even overtaking Qatar as the world’s largest exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG). It was forecasted by the International Energy Agency that the country will be the largest gas supplier in the coming years.

90 million tons a year are projected to be cultivated for the next three years to satisfy the energy demand of its market until the end of the decade. The demand for LNG skyrockets, this suggests that the resources of Oil-Gas Australia grew critical in meeting energy needs, Neil Beveridge, analysts from Sanford C. Bernstein & Co, said.

Currently, there are six onshore energy projects in the country, three of which are fully operational. Large-scale Australian labour market is on the works with the building of an estimated 15,000 km of new gas pipelines with a continuous operational service for the existing 33,000 km natural gas infrastructures. Operations and maintenance activities are projected to boom substantially by 2020.

Skill Shortage and High Average Salaries

Large-scale Oil-Gas Australia projects pose a great challenge for the local labor market on how its capacity could provide the required skills for the existing demand. There is a genuine skills shortage and domestic workers cannot fill these solely. Australian workers, therefore, will be supplemented with overseas workers to meet every demand.

The skill shortage pushes the sector to make oil and gas Australia workers as professionals with the highest average salaries. According to Hays Plc and Oil and Gas Job Search, workers in Oil-Gas Australia earn an average annual salary of $163,600, which is 35 per cent higher than employees in the US. This salary is actually double the global average.

In the same survey, Australia tops the list of the most lucrative companies for oil and gas workers with $171,000, followed by the Philippines ($170,000) and Trinidad & Tobago ($169,000). Hays added that while other sectors are keeping salaries tight for every candidate, oil-gas Australia workers are very much rewarded with the highest salary in the world.

The nature of the energy sector where a high number of people for the same occupation are needed for a short period of time makes the business of oil and gas recruitment difficult for headhunters even with sky high compensation. But for countries with a poorer economic condition like the Philippines, workers are more welcoming to work miles apart from their home.

Global Recruitment to Address New Zealand Construction Issues

New Zealand construction is a factory with low manufacturing rates due to lack of workers. The industry has the potential to reach its peak, but plotted infrastructure projects haven’t been materializing with the shortage of manpower. There is generally great demand, but growth is still slow. More and more buildings are on the works but workforce for each project is still scarce.

The level of construction activity is undeniably escalating. Yet, the sector struggles to move forward with cost and human capital constraints.  To increase the productivity of New Zealand construction, industry leaders and persons in charge will need to increase the number of workers. While a lot of companies still prefer local Kiwi employees, the chronic staff shortage in an industry ruled with tight timelines pushes for global recruitment.

Global Recruitment

In a report by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE), the New Zealand construction will boom by 2020. There is a lot of work to be done and it takes getting the right construction talents to deliver high-quality projects. Apart from high skill shortage, effective recruitment and retention of quality employees have been a great challenge facing the industry.

Based on Statistics NZ, roughly 3,600 out of 4,600 construction firms have current recruitment need with nearly 60% of which are hard to fill vacancies.

Civil Contractors New Zealand (CCNZ) confirms that not enough people were attracted to construction. No area has no abundance of staff. Human Resource Managers are having a hard time filling up their job sites with top local talents.

Migration

The country has a deliberately high rate of economic immigration, actually, one of the highest in the world. Auckland suffers a net loss of their natural born residents with the high influx of migrants.

Skill shortage accounts for an estimated 55,000 to 60,000 workers in the next five years. This means that there are a lot of opportunities to migrate to New Zealand for people with skillset required in the building of new houses, roads, and other types of infrastructures.  Government’s immigration listed construction skills in both immediate and long-term demand. The recruitment campaign has been launched to place workers from other countries from temporary to permanent basis.

Recruitment of overseas work in New Zealand isn’t just marketing a job towards a green pasture but marketing New Zealand as the green pasture itself.

Nevertheless, the strong forecast demand in the country equates to it having a positive industry outlook. While the struggle in low productivity growth has been continuing, the capacity, capability, and the performance in the sector have been on the works.
