TradeConnex talent on site in Newcastle

Labour hire for Newcastle projects

Newcastle is a working port city. Coal, grain and bulk freight move through the harbour, heavy industry lines Kooragang Island and Mayfield, and the city centre keeps turning old rail and wharf land into apartments, offices and public space. Plant maintenance and shutdowns run alongside commercial builds and civil upgrades, often in the same month.

TradeConnex supplies the people for that work: general labourers, machine operators, scaffolders, riggers and dogmen, and licensed electricians and plumbers. Labour hire suits the city’s peaks: a shutdown that needs extra hands for a fortnight, or a fit-out running behind and short of trades. For site managers and project managers, we run permanent recruitment as well as labour hire.

Our team works from Chippendale in Sydney, about two hours down the M1, and every candidate goes through a screen of their site experience, a face-to-face interview and reference checks before they reach your site. Tell us the tickets and inductions the site needs and we’ll check them first. Our industrial construction and civil infrastructure pages show the kinds of crews we put together.
