Medium-rise is where the money is.

Apartment towers, mixed-use developments and 4-to-15 storey commercial builds are dominating Queensland's skyline. Every project needs a licensed medium-rise site supervisor on the ground, and there aren't enough of them.

MRSS-QLD is the QBCC medium-rise site supervisor licence. It qualifies you to supervise these builds on behalf of a licensed builder, opening the door to the highest-paying supervisor roles in residential and commercial construction.
