From industry advocate to CEO of the Major Contractors Association, Andrew Chapman has spent his career at the centre of Queensland's construction and infrastructure sector. Now he's sounding the alarm on the one thing that could derail it all.
With the 2032 Olympics, the energy transition and billions in infrastructure investment all landing at once, Queensland is staring down a workforce shortage that no amount of optimism will fix on its own.
In this episode of Convos on the Couch, Andrew joins host Tom Reardon for a straight-talking conversation about what it actually takes to scale a construction workforce, where AI and technology fit in, the reality of skilled migration and why young Queenslanders need to get into the trades and professions right now.
The boom is here. The question is whether we have the people to deliver it.
