Traffic management “The information session today is the first opportunity for the local business community to hear first-hand from the short-listed companies about their requirements for the project and what kinds of work will be coming down the pipeline,” she said.
Mrs Pickering said the Inland Rail project team was committed to using local suppliers and labour where possible. “The PPP section has already generated jobs associated with the geotechnical investigations, cultural heritage surveys and environmental impact assessments and there are many more opportunities to come for local businesses,” she said.
“It’s not just construction work available, there are also opportunities with Inland Rail in administration, technical jobs and support services such as transportation drivers, electricians, traffic control, steel fixing, environmental and rehabilitation work, signage, security and hospitality and accommodation providers too.
