Dream Twice QAS x BMD constructing careers for Queensland Athletes

In high-performance sport, building a successful career doesn’t stop at the finish line — it’s about laying strong foundations for life beyond competition. That’s why the Queensland Academy of Sport (QAS) has partnered with BMD, one of Australia’s leading integrated engineering, construction and urban development companies, to create real-world employment opportunities for athletes through the Dream Twice program.

The partnership opens up job opportunities across BMD’s group of businesses, giving QAS-supported athletes a chance to develop professional skills while they train, compete, or plan for life after sport.

Established in Queensland in 1979, BMD has grown from a small family business into one of the country’s leading infrastructure and urban development firms, employing more than 2,300 people.

QAS Director of Partnerships Jessica Walker said BMD is a perfect fit for the program: “Athletes are at the heart of everything we do at QAS, and this partnership with BMD creates meaningful pathways for them to grow beyond the sporting arena.”

“BMD’s values of family, empowered, collaborative and driven strongly align with the high-performance culture we foster in sport.”
