East Coast Construction Projects Creating Jobs Across NSW, VIC & QLD

August 12, 2025

Significant advancements in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane are influencing the future of construction in Australia, creating a rising demand for skilled trades, labour hire, and white-collar professionals.


From over-station towers to rail infrastructure and mixed-use precincts, construction activity across New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland is booming. For contractors, developers and construction professionals, it’s not just about the skyline — it’s about the job opportunities, workforce needs and commercial momentum being built along the East Coast.


As a specialist construction recruitment agency working across NSW, QLD and VIC, we’re keeping a close eye on the projects shaping tomorrow’s worksites.

NSW: Pyrmont Metro Over-Station Project

A significant metro development in Sydney has been approved — the 31-storey over-station tower at Pyrmont Metro Station will:

  • Deliver 160 new residential apartments
  • Include five levels of retail and commercial space
  • Improve connectivity through Sydney Metro West


This development will activate the Pyrmont peninsula, creating long-term opportunities for skilled trades, project managers, and support services across fit-out, commercial construction, and traffic management.
