  1. Professional, Scientific and Technical Services

This industry employs significant numbers of ICT project managers and software project managers. This sector tends to have a reliable ongoing need for project managers with a broad variety of skill sets ranging from blockchain specialists to artificial intelligence experts. Furthermore, in the recent past there have been massive numbers of opportunities for project managers with the ability to help companies transition their onsite workforce to a remote workforce.

  1. Building, Construction and Engineering

The construction industry has historically been a reliable niche for both construction project managers and project administrators. 

In 2021 and the future beyond, this industry is likely to remain a viable source of employment because of the country’s planned infrastructure projects. Victoria, Western Australia and South Australia all have major building and construction projects planned. A few prominent examples include Western Australia’s Metronet project, the Byford Rail Extension, and a new Midland train station.

  1. Public Administration and Safety

This is another sector that hires significant numbers of ICT project managers. Construction project managers are also frequently able to find work in this industry.

  1. Information Media and Telecommunications

If you’re looking for work as an ICT project manager, it’s also worth checking for openings in the information media and telecommunications industry. Larger online publishers sometimes have a need for ICT project managers when they undertake new media projects such as creating new web properties to add to their portfolios.

  1. Education and Training

The concepts of lifelong learning, upskilling and reskilling have been in the limelight lately. This is because experts are concerned about the effects of automation on future Australian labour markets. As we make progress towards embarking on the fourth industrial revolution, it will be imperative for Australian employers to accommodate their staff with up-to-date workforce training options. 

This is normally an endeavour that human resources managers would be likeliest to handle, yet in the recent past, a role for skilled project managers has also emerged. Because of COVID-19 and its mutations, the education and training sector has recently been experiencing upheaval. Schools have been scrambling to find safer alternatives to their usual operating procedures. They are working towards replacing traditional face-to-face classroom based educational experiences with online experiences that are as comparable as possible.

This situation has resulted in numerous opportunities for project managers. In particular, there has been strong demand for project managers and project administrators who have the ability to help instructional businesses transition their usual course offerings to the online space. For many educators and academic institutions, this is brand new territory — so they need skilled ICT project managers who can help them successfully make the transition. 

There Is Also Viable Project Management Work in Other Industries:

Capable project managers are needed in virtually every industry; lucrative project management work can also be found in a broad variety of other industries such healthcare and social assistance, mining and manufacturing.

Historically, other industries such as hospitality have hired construction project managers and development managers. However, in the age of mutating coronaviruses, new development in the hospitality industry has cooled considerably.

The industries mentioned above have the strongest track record of hiring project managers. Thus these are the industries that could be expected to offer the likeliest prospects for project managers who are currently seeking work.
