L’edilizia è uno dei settori trainanti dell’Australia. Si costruisce ogni giorno e ovunque: palazzi residenziali, grattacieli, uffici, palestre, scuole, ospedali, alberghi, aeroporti e molto altro ancora. Si calcola che nei prossimi anni la popolazione delle grandi città come Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane e Perth raddoppierà.
Il settore muove ogni anno di 31 bilioni di dollari, con 40 mila professionisti e 9.500 attività edilizie. Insieme alla ristorazione e all’istruzione (visto che in Australia ci sono scuole e università tra le più famose al mondo) rappresenta uno dei business principali.
Per chi vuole lavorare nel settore come muratore o pittore edile, c’è una buona notizia: le professioni collegate all’edilizia sono tra le più ben pagate e tra le più richieste. Tanto è vero che compaiono nella Combined list of Eligible Skilled Occupations, l’elenco dei lavori più ricercati in Australia, come sponsorizzazioni medium and-long term. Spesso, però, è necessario avere almeno esperienza documentabile per trovare lavoro, oppure un diploma, meglio se conseguito in Australia.
