Wollongong city
The CBD and inner suburbs, where apartment, commercial, education and health projects keep carpenters, concreters and finishing trades in demand.
Labour hire for Wollongong and the Illawarra: scaffolders, riggers, plant operators, general labourers and licensed trades for industrial, civil and building work, from the northern suburbs down to Shellharbour and Kiama.
Wollongong grew up around the steelworks and the port at Port Kembla, and heavy industry still sets the pace for much of the site work in the Illawarra. Maintenance and upgrade jobs on industrial plant need scaffolders, riggers and labourers who are used to large, tightly controlled sites. Away from the port, the city has apartment and commercial building in the CBD, education and health projects, and new housing on the plains west of Dapto.
TradeConnex fills roles across all of it, from a single rigger for a plant outage to labourers, operators and trades for a full build. Tell us the tickets and site inductions you need, and we’ll confirm them before anyone arrives. Our Chippendale team is a little over an hour up the M1, and every candidate goes through the same three-stage screening (site experience, a face-to-face interview and reference checks) before starting.
