Hunter Labour Hire has the most reliable pool of general labourers compared all labour hire companies in Sydney. This is due to our one-strike policy, whereby we do not tolerate our staff not turning up on site. We have general labourers on standby from 6 am every morning, should you need any sick cover on-site or if you need that extra pair of hands at the last minute.

What is a Skilled Labourer?

Skilled labourer hire is employed to carry out more complex tasks, using more advanced tools to carry out such tasks. Our skilled labourers have more than two years of construction experience and a large number of them have trade qualifications from outside of Australia. Examples of the work carried out by skilled labourers include:

  • Use of hand and power tools
  • Demolition
