TradeConnex talent on site in Mackay

Labour hire for Mackay projects

Mackay is the main centre between the Whitsundays and the Bowen Basin coalfields, and a base for contractors working across North Queensland. Sugar, mining services and the ports keep local industry busy, and the region is also home to large solar farms.

From June to September 2018, TradeConnex supplied more than 50 talent to the Daydream and Hayman solar farms at Collinsville, north-west of Mackay, for RCR Infrastructure and Edify Energy. Together the two farms add 200MW (AC) of capacity from roughly 2 million panels on an Array Technology tracker system. Our crew covered excavator, skid steer and telehandler operators, quality assurance teams, skilled labourers and panel installation teams.

We supply the same mix of operators, labourers and trades to utility-scale solar, civil, industrial and building projects across the Mackay region. Send us the site, the start date and the tickets you need, and we’ll put forward screened people who suit the work.
