2032 Is Closer Than You Think – Here’s Where the Work Will Be
The Brisbane 2032 Olympics might sound like it’s years away — but in the world of infrastructure, the boom has already begun.
Billions in contracts have already been awarded. Machinery is being mobilised. Construction sites from Ipswich to Spring Hill are prepping for what will become the largest infrastructure rollout in Queensland’s history.
This isn’t just about stadiums.
Yes, the 63,000-seat stadium at Victoria Park is headline-grabbing, but the Olympic masterplan also includes:
- A complete rebuild of the Centenary Pool Complex with new diving platforms and seating
- Upgrades to transport corridors, tunnels and arterial roads to link venues
- Urban renewal projects across Redlands, Logan and the Gabba precinct
- Infrastructure for athletes’ villages and regional housing
What does all this mean? Heavy plant, haulage and site prep are the first steps — and that means a critical need for dump truck, water cart and Moxy operators starting now and through to 2029.
Skills Shortage = Opportunity – These Roles Are Being Snapped Up Fast
Let’s break it down. According to Queensland’s official Horizon 2032 report, the state will need over 54,000 additional skilled workers across construction and civil infrastructure by the end of this decade.
Right now, they’re only halfway there.
This worker shortage opens the door for qualified operators, even entry-level ones, to land consistent roles on some of the most well-funded projects the state has ever seen.
Most in-demand roles include:
- Civil Machinery Operators: Rigid and articulated dump trucks, Moxys, water carts, loaders
- Site Support & Labourers: With Standard 11 safety induction, you’re job-site approved
- Supervisors and Spotters: As projects scale, site leadership and compliance staff will surge in value
The most attractive hires for these Olympic builds? Workers who already hold the tickets and can start without delay.
If that’s not you yet, it can be in less than two weeks.
The Training Pathways That Put You on Site Faster
Whether you’ve got zero experience or you’re a mining veteran looking to pivot into civil work, the quickest way to get on-site is through targeted, nationally accredited training.
At My Solution Training, based in Ipswich (a quick trip off the Cunningham Highway), students train on real, mine-spec heavy machinery, not simulators. That means every course delivers job-ready confidence plus official certification.
Here’s what to consider:
- Articulated Haul Truck Training (Moxy): Ideal for civil sites with tight corners and uneven ground
- Water Cart Ticket: Dust suppression is mandatory on most Olympic worksites — and always in demand
- Dump Truck (Rigid) Training: A core entry point into large infrastructure contracts
- Standard 11 Induction: Not just for mining — this safety certification opens access to most civil projects with government oversight
These courses are typically completed in 5–7 days, and they’re all nationally recognised under RTO 31137 (Infront Training).
For ex-mining workers or tradies switching sectors, bridging programs can help refresh skills and align past experience with civil work requirements.
And because training is hands-on at a replica mine environment in Aratula (not operational), you’ll leave with real machine hours under your belt — a big tick for employers.
Want to Work the Olympics? Start Training Before the Window Closes
You don’t want to be scrambling for qualifications when projects hit peak in 2026–2027. Hiring is already underway for early-stage site prep — the longer you wait, the more crowded the job pool becomes.
Here’s what you can do today to lock in your future:
Choose your course bundle – dump truck, Moxy and S11 give you triple the job opportunities Book a training intake in Ipswich – close to where the projects are kicking off Secure financing if needed – interest-free payment plans from $135/week available Call 1300 414 341 or book online at mysolutiontraining.com.au
You could be site-ready in just two weeks, ahead of thousands of others still “thinking about it.”
Olympic Jobs Are Coming – But Are You Ready?
How long do I need to train before I’m job-ready for Olympic infrastructure roles?
Most civil machinery courses take less than a week. Add an S11 Induction and you can be on-site in 10–14 days.
Will I need experience, or is training enough to get hired?
Many contractors hiring for Olympic works are prioritising ticketed operators — no prior experience needed if your training is hands-on and industry-certified.
Where are the jobs likely to be?
Precincts near Ipswich, Logan, Redlands and even the western Brisbane corridor are currently hiring. Training in Aratula puts you within striking distance of them all.
Train Now, Build the Future – Get Hired for Olympic Projects
Queensland’s Olympic boom isn’t hype. It’s already funded, scheduled and underway — and machinery operators will be on the ground first.
Whether you’re just entering the workforce, transitioning from mining or upgrading your tickets, this is your moment to get on track for consistent, well-paid civil work that will run beyond the Games.
My Solution Training’s civil construction programs are nationally accredited, taught by real industry experts and delivered on full-size machinery in Aratula.
