Jobs & Suppliers
Local jobs and local opportunities
The Fingerboards Critical Minerals Project will generate around 300 direct jobs and up to 500 indirect regional jobs throughout construction and operation.
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.
Our Approach to Procurement
Backing Gippsland first
GCM has a Gippsland – First Procurement Policy to ensure preference for Gippsland-based suppliers and contractors who employ local residents and align with strong health, safety, environmental, and ethical standards. This approach will generate substantial local business opportunities in fabrication, maintenance, logistics, and supply, while supporting underrepresented groups including First Nations peoples, women, youth, and displaced workers. Beyond direct employment, GCM’s community partnerships and sponsorships program is building capacity and inclusion across East Gippsland.
In 2025, GCM spent $46,650 towards initiatives that promote education, First Nations empowerment, and regional resilience – building a pipeline of skilled local workers, supporting small business participation, and fostering inclusive economic growth that will endure well beyond the life of the project. The Project’s freight rail reinstatement between Melbourne and Bairnsdale will generate additional regional employment in logistics, warehousing, and maintenance, supporting the broader economic growth of East Gippsland.
In 2026, GCM will work with community to further build out its Community Benefits program to ensure the people of East Gippsland are the true beneficiaries of this Project for the long term.
