Perth's job market in 2026 is being shaped by simultaneous activity across resources, defence and infrastructure, with the convergence of these sectors creating real pressure on a shared labour pool.

Demand in mining and resources remains immediate and active. New lithium operations, including the Kathleen Valley mine, and gold mine openings are generating roles across process engineering, geotechnical, mine planning and trades. Rates for experienced operators are relatively high, reflecting the competitive market for site-ready talent.

In defence, the Henderson Defence Precinct is progressing through enabling works, positioning Perth as a significant naval sustainment hub under AUKUS. Organisations with defence-aligned capability are already in demand across engineering, project management and procurement.

Beyond resources and defence, in infrastructure, METRONET continues to generate operational, procurement and technology roles as new stations open, while the Perth Park Sports Precinct began site establishment works in February, creating further construction roles.

Employers that move early, offer competitive remuneration benchmarked to current market rates, and streamline their hiring process will be best placed to secure talent before the anticipated tightening accelerates.
