brisbane and broader queensland have a well-established and growing industrial automation sector, characterised by a strong community of specialist systems integrators and increasing investment from national and international automation businesses. while the intralogistics oem footprint is smaller than sydney or melbourne, the demand for skilled automation professionals in queensland is consistent and often difficult to service from within the local talent pool alone
liftpass works with brisbane's automation employers to find the technical and commercial professionals they need — drawing on both the local market and the broader national and international candidate network

brisbane's automation sector is integrator-led. the market is anchored by well-regarded specialist businesses including products for industry (pfi), heat and control, and fibre king — each operating in distinct segments of the automation sector and each placing consistent demand on a talent pool that doesn't always have the depth to meet it locally
national and international automation businesses increasingly operate project teams or permanent operations out of brisbane, particularly as e-commerce-driven logistics investment expands. this creates a hybrid market: part locally grown integrator community, part outpost of larger national and global operations

across brisbane's integrator and automation employer community, liftpass regularly places:
• control systems and commissioning engineers
• mechanical and electrical design engineers
• project engineers and project managers
• service managers
• pre-sales and solution consultants
• business development and sales professionals

brisbane's automation employers face a specific challenge: the local talent pool, while skilled, is not large and in demand from both local direct competitors and employers in the resources and mining sector
when a senior control systems engineer or experienced commissioning professional is needed, they are rarely available on the open market for long. the answer is a recruiter with both well-developed local networks of brisbane talent and anz reach to identify relocation-ready candidates
that is precisely what liftpass offers. our domestic search capability covers the full national market, and international search service accesses pre-vetted international candidates seeking long-term relocation - not expatriate packages

for brisbane employers, liftpass offers the same depth of service as we provide nationally, including talent pipelining for businesses that want early notification when candidates with specific skills become available.
for queensland-based professionals, we provide access to both local roles and interstate opportunities where relevant.
