Driven by major infrastructure investment, new housing developments and the Central-West Orana Renewable Energy Zone, the region is entering a new phase of development. Billions of dollars in investment and thousands of jobs are flowing into the area, with the Renewable Energy Zone alone expected to generate around 5,000 construction roles at its peak.

This is a region where plans are becoming projects - and where skilled people are needed to help bring them to life.

“There’s a real sense here that you’re part of something big - you can see the impact of what you’re building every day.”

Across engineering, surveying and trades, the opportunities are diverse and hands-on. From designing subdivisions and delivering essential infrastructure, to working on large-scale renewable energy projects, every role contributes to shaping a region that is expanding, investing and planning for the future.

Surveyors are mapping new communities. Engineers are solving complex challenges in transport, energy and construction. Tradespeople are on the ground, turning plans into reality - building the homes, roads and infrastructure that support a growing population.

And while the work is significant, the lifestyle is just as compelling.

“You can work on major projects and still have the lifestyle that regional living offers.”

In Dubbo, short commutes, affordability and a strong sense of community create space for a more balanced way of living. It’s a place where you can grow your career without sacrificing time with family, connection to community or quality of life.

Importantly, the pipeline of work isn’t short-term. Long-term investment in energy, transport and housing is driving sustained demand for skilled professionals. Training and workforce programs linked to the Renewable Energy Zone are helping build local capability, creating clear pathways through apprenticeships, traineeships and professional careers.

“There are opportunities here at every level - from trades on the ground to engineering and technical roles.”

Whether you’re starting out, upskilling, or looking to take the next step in your career, Dubbo offers the chance to be part of something meaningful - where your work has visible impact and long-term value.

In the Dubbo Region, you don’t just contribute to projects - you help shape the future of a region on the rise.

This is more than a job. It’s your chance to build something lasting.
