AUSTRALIA OFFERS SUN, SEA AND NOW CAREER SUCCESS!
Australia Day on January 26th is the biggest day of celebration for the country – a day to reflect on past achievements and the future success of the nation. It therefore seems apt that an Australian contractor’s latest recruitment drive coincides with the national holiday. It is looking to source professionals to work on major road and civil infrastructure projects and is offering competitive salaries and comprehensive relocation in order to attract the best talent.
The Australian offices of the specialist recruitment consultancy, Hays Construction are using its GlobaLink division in London to look for UK professionals to work for Leighton Contractors – a leading name across Australia and New Zealand.
Leighton Contractors has over $6 billion AUD work in hand and already employs over 8,000 staff. It is now looking to add 25 people to its road and civil infrastructure teams in New South Wales (NSW), Australia. Developments—such as the Pacific Highway upgrade, the M4 extension, the North West and South West rail links and other civil infrastructure in the transport, water and energy sectors—offer great professional exposure and a chance to get involved in large scale projects beyond anything currently available in the UK.
Diane Townson, manager at Hays GlobaLink says: “The main focus of this campaign is to find construction managers, engineering managers and site managers to work on major road and civil infrastructure alliance partnership projects near Sydney and on the NSW North Coast. These roles are ideal for high calibre people with civil contractor experience who are wondering how they will ever cope with another cold winter in the UK. One of the common misconceptions is that Australia is purely a lifestyle choice because it offers such great beaches and appealing weather. But, with $40 billion AUD in infrastructure spending predicted for the next decade in NSW and such a shortage of qualified staff, Australia now offers really competitive salaries and attractive relocation packages. Plus, all the projects have a strong international profile so a move to Australia definitely can really enhance your career.”
