Construction & Infrastructure
Candidates for construction and infrastructure roles are sourced for contractors, builders and infrastructure employers with active sites and defined trade or labour requirements. Screening for this category generally covers physical-work readiness, prior site experience, tool familiarity and, where relevant, a practical or video-based skill check.
Masons
Masons handle blockwork, brickwork, plastering and related structural finishing tasks on residential, commercial or infrastructure sites. Employers typically look for prior on-site masonry experience, familiarity with standard tools and materials, and the ability to work from technical drawings or a supervisor's instructions. Screening usually includes a review of past project experience and, where the employer requests it, a working video or practical demonstration.
Shuttering carpenters
Shuttering carpenters build and dismantle formwork used to shape poured concrete elements on construction sites. This role calls for experience reading structural drawings, measuring and cutting accurately, and working safely at height or around wet-concrete operations. Candidate assessment typically focuses on documented formwork experience and comfort with the specific shuttering systems (timber, steel or aluminium) an employer uses.
Steel fixers
Steel fixers cut, bend and position reinforcement bar ahead of concrete pours, following structural drawings and site engineer instructions. Employers generally require prior rebar experience, the ability to read bar-bending schedules, and comfort working alongside cranes and lifting equipment. Screening commonly checks for prior site experience and, where applicable, a trade test or supervisor reference.
Helpers
Construction helpers support skilled trades — masons, carpenters, steel fixers and painters — with material handling, mixing, cleanup and site logistics. This is typically an entry-level role where employers look for physical-work readiness, reliability and a willingness to learn on site rather than extensive prior trade experience. Basic safety awareness and prior labour-site exposure are commonly part of the screening conversation.
Painters
Painters carry out surface preparation, priming and finishing coats on residential, commercial or industrial construction projects. Employers typically ask about experience with different paint systems and application methods (brush, roller, spray), along with comfort working at height on scaffolding or lifts. Screening generally includes a review of past painting work and, where requested, photo or video evidence of completed jobs.
Tile workers
Tile workers lay floor and wall tiles, including surface preparation, layout and grouting, on residential and commercial projects. Employers usually look for experience with different tile materials and sizes, precision in layout and cutting, and familiarity with adhesives and grouting techniques. Screening typically covers prior project experience and may include a practical or video-based skill check.
General construction workers
General construction workers cover a broad range of site tasks not tied to a single trade — loading and unloading materials, site cleanup, basic labour support and assisting skilled tradespeople as directed. Employers typically assess physical-work readiness, prior construction-site exposure and reliability, rather than a specific trade certification. This category is often used to fill volume requirements alongside more specialised trade roles.
Manufacturing & Production

Packaging workers
Packaging workers prepare, pack, label and palletise finished goods for storage or shipment within a manufacturing facility. Employers usually look for prior packing-line experience, attention to labelling and quality-check requirements, and the ability to meet line-speed targets. Screening generally covers prior factory-floor experience and basic literacy for reading pack instructions and labels.
Machine helpers
Machine helpers assist machine operators with feeding materials, basic changeovers, cleaning and general support around production equipment. This is generally an entry-level manufacturing role where employers prioritise reliability, safety awareness and willingness to learn specific machinery over prior formal experience. Screening typically focuses on factory-floor exposure and comfort working around moving machinery.
Food-processing workers
Within manufacturing, food-processing workers handle sorting, cutting, portioning, packing or line-support tasks inside a factory-based food-processing operation. Employers typically require an understanding of food-hygiene basics, comfort working in cold-chain or wash-down environments, and the ability to follow strict process and cleanliness standards. Screening generally covers prior food-industry experience and hygiene-awareness questions.
Quality-check assistants
Quality-check assistants carry out visual or basic measurement checks on components or finished goods against an employer's quality standard, flagging non-conforming items. Employers typically look for attention to detail, the ability to follow inspection checklists, and comfort with repetitive checking tasks across a shift.

Employers typically look for basic literacy and numeracy, attention to detail in matching orders to documentation, and comfort working to dispatch deadlines. Screening generally covers prior dispatch or logistics-office exposure.
Inventory helpers
Inventory helpers assist with stock counts, cycle counting, put-away and general inventory-accuracy tasks within a warehouse or distribution centre. Employers usually look for attention to detail, basic numeracy, and comfort using handheld scanning or inventory-tracking tools. Screening typically covers prior stock-handling experience.
Material handlers
Material handlers move raw materials, components or finished goods between storage, production and dispatch areas within a facility.
