As part of their work on Skills Transitions in Infrastructure, UQ's Sustainable Infrastructure Research Hub has produced a new competency framework designed to support the industry as they transition towards greater sustainability.
The project led by Dr Tracy Martin, involved experts from sustainability, engineering, architecture, digitalisation, organisational psychology and change management, in addition to leading infrastructure companies. Acciona, ARUP, KBR and Innergise contributed expertise to the development of the framework and the project was supported by Engineers Australia and Engineering Education Australia.
'The need for new skills to support the sustainability transition occurring in the infrastructure industry is well recognised by the industry so it's important to outline what those skills are and how they are defined. Doing so helps companies and the industry more broadly to understand where to focus future training needs for staff and to have clarity on what these topics mean when working in infrastructure.' Dr Cristyn Meath, Hub Director Sustainable Infrastructure Research Hub.
