The construction industry is a driver of economic activity and is in the top three of Australia’s largest industries, coming in only just behind mining and finance. With so many construction projects underway whether it be new infrastructure, residential properties or improved public transport, there is a massive demand for skilled construction workers to fill gaps in the existing workforce.

As a labour hire agency we are all too aware of the demand for certain positions within the construction industry, and our blog today is going to look at the most popular jobs that we are currently recruiting for.
