Labour hire for Ballarat projects

Ballarat is one of Victoria’s biggest regional cities, and much of its construction is happening on the western side of town, where Lucas, Alfredton and Delacombe keep spreading into former farmland. That growth means subdivision roads and drainage, new homes, schools and shops, plus industrial work on employment land beside the airport.

TradeConnex supplies general labourers, plant operators and trades to builders and civil contractors working in Ballarat and the towns around it. For house builders, that usually means carpenters, concreters and labourers on short notice. For civil contractors it means excavator and roller operators, civil labourers and the trades that follow them in. West towards Ararat and the Pyrenees, the region also has a number of wind farms, and we supply labourers and plant operators for wind energy construction.

Each person goes through our three-stage screening before you meet them, and anyone we send to a construction site holds a White Card. Give us the address, the numbers and the start date and we’ll confirm who can be there. For the north of the state, see our Shepparton and Mildura pages.
