I don't know.
I assume there would be a number of contractors to that need jobs filled.

Hi Jarrod,
Currently SKA is in the pre-production phase.
There are 11 "Pre-construction Consortia Groups" around the world
divided into key engineering tasks and each of these Consortia consist
of partners drawn from observatories, research centers, universities
and private enterprise.
So for example the "Central Signal Processor" consortium is led by the
National Research Council of Canada but partners here in Australia
include organizations such as CSIRO, Swinburne and CISCO Australia.
A list of the Consortia and their partners can be found here :-

This list is a useful resource for those seeking opportunities to be
involved in the project.
The South Africans are also busy hiring electrical engineers and software
engineers.
The Australian SKA offices are now headquartered within the Department
of industry in Canberra.
CSIRO Radiophysics in the suburb of Marsfield, not far from Macquarie
University here in Sydney, is a major campus for technical activity.
