Construction and mining recruitment and sponsorship

Qualified trades for your site or mine. Checked before they start.

We recruit tradespeople for Australian builders, subcontractors and mining operations: tilers, carpenters and electricians for construction, and diesel fitters, electricians, boilermakers and plant operators for mine sites. Where a visa is needed, our registered migration agent handles it in the same process.

Trade request

NO OBLIGATION

Tradespeople never pay us a fee for a job. The employer pays. We use your details only to respond to your enquiry and do not share them without your consent.

Trades we place

People who are already on our books

We place tradespeople into two industries. Ask about any trade that is not listed.

Wall and floor tilers

Residential and commercial, including waterproofing experience.

Carpenters

Framing, formwork, fit-out and finishing carpentry.

Electricians

Overseas-qualified electricians, with the Australian licensing pathway mapped before you commit.

Other construction trades

Plasterers, painters, bricklayers, concreters and more on request.

Mining

Maintenance and operations trades for mine sites

For mining operators and maintenance contractors, including FIFO and DIDO rosters in regional Queensland and Western Australia.

Diesel fitters

Heavy-duty mechanics for haul trucks, dozers, excavators and fixed plant.

Mining electricians

Electricians for mine sites and processing plants, with the Australian licensing pathway mapped before you commit.

Boilermakers and welders

Fabrication, shutdown and maintenance work.

Plant operators

Mobile plant and earthmoving operators. Site inductions and tickets are checked before placement.

Where they come from

Three sources, fastest first

We start with the quickest option that fits the role, and tell you honestly how long each one takes.

Fastest

Already in Australia

Tradespeople who hold work rights now, or who can be sponsored from inside Australia. Since 25 July 2026, onshore sponsored visa applications for construction occupations are processed ahead of most other applications.

No sponsorship in most cases

New Zealand

New Zealand citizens can generally live and work in Australia without employer sponsorship, so a start date depends on the person, not a visa queue.

Planned intake

Overseas-trained

Tradespeople from the United Kingdom and from training centres in South Korea, Vietnam, Nepal and China. Skills assessment and visa processing take longer, so this suits roles you can plan months ahead.

Process

From brief to first day on site

  1. Brief

    You tell us the trade, numbers, start date and site. We confirm what is realistic before any fee applies.

  2. Shortlist

    We put forward candidates who match, with their trade history, qualifications and current work rights set out plainly.

  3. Verify

    Qualifications, licences and references are checked. For licensed trades we confirm what the person can lawfully do on day one.

  4. Visa, if needed

    Our registered migration agent prepares the sponsorship, nomination and visa applications so they are ready for a decision when lodged.

  5. Start and follow-up

    You employ the worker directly. We stay in touch with you both through the first months.

Why employers use us

Recruitment and migration under one roof

Most recruiters stop when a candidate needs a visa. Most migration agents cannot find you a candidate. We do both, which removes the gap where placements usually fall over.

Fees

We are not the cheapest

Our fee covers sourcing, verification and, where needed, a properly prepared visa case. A cheap placement that fails a skills assessment or a visa refusal costs a builder far more than our fee.

  • You receive a written quote before we start.
  • The employer pays. We do not charge workers for a job or for sponsorship.
  • Sponsored workers are paid the Australian market rate for their trade.
