Workers welcome in land of opportunity

The Northern Territory is striving to increase the workforce by more than 35,000 to achieve the goal of a $40 billion economy by 2030.

It’s an ambitious target – and we are determined to meet it in a globally competitive environment.

The Territory is on the cusp of the most exciting and sustainable economic change in its history.

A string of major projects are ready to start. 

Sun Cable’s flagship project, the Australia-Asia Power Link, will deliver solar energy from one of, the world’s largest solar farms and battery storage systems in the Barkly region, for 24/7 dispatch to Darwin and Singapore via a 5,000km high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission system.

Core Lithium is currently constructing a new lithium mine just outside of Darwin. 

The Middle Arm Sustainable Development Precinct, a manufacturing hub master-planned by the Territory Government, has received $1.5 billion backing from the Federal Government.

The Territory is home to magnet and battery minerals projects like the Nolans Project, Mount Peak and Finniss Lithium – crucial for clean energy technologies – that are also exploring value-adding activities such as low-emissions mineral processing and metalisation.

And the $515 million ship lift will launch a new marine maintenance and repair industry.

Economists believe these projects, building on the Territory’s long-established resources and primary industries, and coupled with vocational education training is a key driver to grow the workforce from 135,000 to 166,000. Increasing the Territory workforce requires a focus on targeting skilled and semi-skilled migrants is essential to attract more workers to the Territory.

The Northern Territory presents unparalleled job opportunities across industries and great potential for career advancement. We are looking for the trail blazers, the career climbers, the bold and innovative to move to the Territory. Fast track your career, enjoy a unique lifestyle and be part of a great community.
