Civil construction refers to the design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges, pipelines, earthworks, and drainage systems. It’s a vital part of Australia's infrastructure development and involves skilled work like operating heavy machinery, working with concrete and pipes, and ensuring projects meet safety and environmental standards. With the right training, you can enter this high-demand industry and work on major construction projects across the country.

To work in civil construction in Australia, you typically need a Certificate II or III in Civil Construction (such as RII20720 or RII30920). These nationally recognised qualifications cover essential skills in plant operations, road construction, earthmoving, site safety, and tool handling. Many roles also require a White Card for construction site access. Our training programs are designed to give you the qualifications and practical experience employers are looking for.
