With the contract finalised for construction of Cross River Rail’s twin tunnels and four new underground stations, the major contractors are moving to mobilise their workforces.
Over the five-year construction phase of the project, Cross River Rail will generate thousands of jobs for Queenslanders. On behalf of the CPB, BAM, Ghella, UGL (CBGU) Design and Construction Joint Venture that will deliver Cross River Rail’s tunnels and stations, lead construction company CPB have now begun calling for expressions of interest in opportunities to work on the project.
Cross River Rail is expected to support an average of 1500 jobs per year over the next five years of construction. The Project will also launch the careers of aspiring builders, electricians, welders and technical specialists, with the equivalent of at least 450 apprentice and trainee opportunities generated over the course of construction.
The CPB expressions of interest page can be found here.
