Future-proof your career with in-demand digital engineering skills

Digital engineering is helping transform the way construction projects are planned, designed, delivered and managed. From major infrastructure projects to commercial and residential developments, the trade sector is increasingly using digital tools and data-driven processes to improve efficiency, reduce errors and deliver better project outcomes. As a result, digital engineering skills are becoming highly sought after across the industry.

If you're looking to advance your career and develop future-focused skills, the Advanced Diploma of Digital Engineering (11343NAT) could be the next step, providing you with the knowledge to pursue a range of in-demand roles, including Building Information Modelling (BIM) coordinator, BIM manager or a digital engineer.

Supported by the TAFE Centre of Excellence Construction Tech, eligible students may be able to access a funded training place to complete this innovative qualification and build the skills needed for the evolving construction industry.

Develop skills that industry needs

Queensland's infrastructure pipeline is entering a construction super-cycle, yet the state is projected to face an average shortfall of 18,200 construction workers each year through to 2032. As organisations look to deliver more with fewer people, digital engineering skills such as BIM and data-driven asset management will be critical to improving productivity and project outcomes.

Throughout the qualification, students develop practical skills in areas including digital engineering workflows, BIM, information management, data analysis and digital collaboration. These skills support more effective project coordination and enable professionals to work confidently across project teams.

Be part of construction's digital future

As technology continues to reshape construction, employers are looking for workers who can bridge the gap between traditional construction practices and emerging digital technologies.

Digital engineering professionals play an important role in improving project productivity, enhancing communication between stakeholders and supporting more sustainable construction outcomes. 

Whether you're already working in the industry or looking to specialise in a growing field, digital engineering skills can help you stay ahead of industry change and remain competitive in an evolving workforce.

Work in a diverse and collaborative environment

The Advanced Diploma of Digital Engineering (11343NAT) is ideal for those who want to help shape the future of construction through technology-enabled design, collaboration and project delivery.

Digital engineers, BIM coordinators or BIM managers enjoy solving technical challenges while working on a diverse range of projects. They get to collaborate with a variety of professionals, from designers to engineers and contractors, supporting them to produce exceptional work.

Take the next step

The future of construction is digital and there has never been a better time to build skills in this growing area. For individuals looking to advance their careers or for organisations seeking to build digital capability within their teams, the Advanced Diploma of Digital Engineering (11343NAT) provides a valuable pathway into one of construction’s fastest-growing fields.
