Local jobs and local opportunities
The Fingerboards Critical Minerals Project will generate around 400 jobs during construction, followed by approximately 300 ongoing, permanent operational roles once construction is complete.
These roles will deliver long-term economic and social benefits by creating trainable, locally focused opportunities across East Gippsland in construction, mechanical services, electrical trades, and mobile equipment operations.
Importantly, many of these roles can be redeployed from industries scheduled to close in the region, such as energy and timber, supporting workforce stability in East Gippsland. GCM is partnering with local training and education providers to establish tailored training and apprenticeship programs, strengthening the local skills, and creating pathways into sustainable regional careers across trades, agriculture, and science.
