For example Jobs and Skills Australia (JSA) estimated that achieving this target will require an additional 85,000 electricians by 2050, with 32,000 needed by 2030 (i).
Beyond electricians, critical shortages are also anticipated across building and engineering trades essential for both the construction and maintenance of renewable energy infrastructure. These includeย :
– Architectural, building, and surveying technicians.
– Power plant operators.
– Engineers specialising in:
Industrial engineering.
Mechanical engineering.
Production engineering.
– Managerial positions such as:
Production managers.
Construction managers.
…..and more (ii).
