The T2D Project will need a broad set of skilled workers across hundreds of different roles during construction.

It will support 5,500 jobs per year on average during main construction for the next decade, creating a skills legacy for South Australia.

The T2D Project will focus on providing opportunities for local people, Aboriginal workers, apprentices, trainees and jobseekers who are long-term unemployed.

Some of the jobs that will be in demand during construction include:

  • construction manager

  • site supervisor
  • site safety officer/manager
  • mechanical engineer
  • architectural draftsperson
