Our Industries

We’ve provided our recruitment services to several different Victorian industries on major projects.

In 2011 we began recruiting for the rail industry

The strong relationship between our business and Victoria’s rail and transport projects began with the South Morang Rail Extension, supplying workers to John Holland. Since then, we’ve hired for the Bayswater Level Crossing Removal Project, as well as the removal of level crossings at Burke, North McKinnon & Centre Roads. And, we recently became a supplier to the Rail Infrastructure Alliance.

From our experiences recruiting for rail projects, a next step into civil infrastructure seemed right

The networks of candidates and clients we’d established in the Rail industry naturally extended into more, bigger civil infrastructure projects, such as improving the infrastructure on Nauru and Manus Islands in 2013, and realigning and regrading sections of the the Western Highway’s Buangor Bypass in 2014. In civil infrastructure, we’re proud to have won several seven and eight-figure contracts, supplying to companies like Broadspectrum, Ventia, CPB, and John Holland.

When our clients sought workers for multiple maintenance and logistics roles, we provided

In 2018, our National Supplier Agreement expanded to meet the growing need for blue- and white-collar logistics and maintenance workers. Assisting hospitals, rail networks, and defence facilities to meet their maintenance needs, we provided hires through Broadspectrum / Ventia, marking our first foray into maintenance. We’ve since recruited for several smaller-scale hiring operations within maintenance, cementing our foothold in the industry.

Our continued success has paved the way to expanding into NSW

After being awarded a contract by CPB for work on the Monash Freeway Stage 2 constructions in 2019, as well as becoming preferred supplier to several engagements with Seymour Whyte in 2020, we knew the time was right for expansion into NSW. We’ve worked in NSW since 2021, and are expanding there to address the needs of Victorian clients as well as NSW ones.
