Crane Operators Are in Demand – Here's How to Get Ahead

If you’ve been thinking about entering a high-paying, high-demand career — a crane licence is one of the most strategic tickets you can get right now.

Right now, there are just under 14,000 crane operators across Australia. But according to the most recent data, employers are struggling to find and keep qualified operatorsespecially in construction, infrastructure and mining. That means demand is high, and opportunities are real. 

And here’s something that might surprise you: crane operators earn a median of $3,031 per week. That’s over $1,300 more than the average full-time wage. If you’re looking for a role that rewards skills and offers stability, crane operation is worth serious consideration.

  • Construction and civil infrastructure
  • Crane hire companies
  • Mining and resource projects
  • Transport and logistics
  • Heavy manufacturing and ports

There’s also long-term growth. The average age of crane operators is 44,which means there’s a need for younger operators to step in as experienced workers transition out.

Plus, with only 4% of the workforce being women, there’s a real opportunity for diversity in the field.
