Making way for the modern constructors of tomorrow

The University of Technology Sydney, NSW Office of the Building Commissioner and Master Builders Association invites you to a one-off panel discussion at UTS with the NSW Building Commissioner and a select group of industry leaders.

Hello it's David Chandler here, the NSW Building Commissioner. 

And I want to tell you about a very special event that we're planning for future constructors at UTS. It's an event on the 28th of August where we've organised for a number of industry practitioners to come along and share with students a career journey in construction.

It's terribly important that you understand all of the gateways into our industry. I really would like you to come along and hear from me, and a number of other experts at this panel.

The building industry needs to modernise. The panel will discuss how you, as the next generation of building professionals, can play a key role in creating a more trustworthy and sustainable built world in which the community can have greater confidence.

  • Stephanie Nguyen, Site Engineer, Richard Crookes Constructions

  • Brian Seidler, Executive Director, Master Builders Association NSW

  • Nicholle Sparkes, General Manager, Delivery and Operations, Frasers Property Australia 

Discussion topics 

  1. What will a future trustworthy and sustainable building industry look like?
  2. What's changes in the regulatory sphere of construction will affect your future career? 
  3. What attributes, knowledge and skills will you need to build a successful career in the future building industry?  
  4. How do you go about developing these attributes, knowledge and skills?
  5. How do you challenge the status quo and leave a positive legacy?
  6. What does an employer-of-choice look like and why is it important to work for one?
