TradeConnex talent on a road and tunnel project

How we crew road and tunnel projects

Road work is staged around live traffic and residents, and the crew has to keep pace as the job moves from services and drainage to kerbs, pavements and finishing. We supply labourers, plant operators, traffic controllers and trades who can shift between tasks and locations as the programme changes.

More than 100 of our talent worked on WestConnex for four clients, on the M4 tunnel, M5, M8 and M4-M5 Link. We recruited construction talent for both the east and west sections of the Mona Vale Road Upgrade, and kept 25 skilled labourers moving across nine streets on the Parramatta Road Urban Amenity Improvement in Annandale and Leichhardt. The Greenway Cooks to Cove drew more than 200 talent for a corridor that included three tunnels beneath live roads.

Labourers, operators and support staff for tunnel and motorway sections. On WestConnex we supplied more than 100 talent to four different clients.

Road upgrades under traffic

Construction talent for arterial road widening built while the road stays open, as on the east and west sections of the Mona Vale Road Upgrade.

Streetscapes and urban amenity

Skilled labourers for staged work on live streets, from underground services and drainage to kerbing, paving and landscaping.

Shared paths and structures

Crews for active-travel corridors with tunnels, a cantilevered path and steel platforms on a steep embankment, as on the Greenway, much of it built in light rail possessions.

Roads, Highways, Bridges & Tunnels FAQs

Yes. Our road projects have been built under traffic and beside homes and shops, from nine live streets on Parramatta Road to tunnels under live roads on the Greenway. We can book traffic controllers with the civil crew.

Every person we put forward holds a White Card. Depending on the task we also confirm plant tickets, a SafeWork NSW traffic control card, Working at Heights or Confined Space Entry before they reach site.

Send us the shift pattern with the booking and we’ll put forward talent available for those hours.

Talent is booked for at least four hours a day. Past that, a crew can stay for one stage or the whole job: on the Greenway we supplied labour from the first sod turn through to completion.

Request talent for your road and tunnel project

Send us the trades, headcount, site and start date, and we'll put forward talent who fit.
