Default Construction workers/North Queensland/Townsville

Hi

Could anyone advise me on the current jobs demand for construction workers in the Townsville/North Queensland area. I am currently a foreman for a civil engineering company, working on new build sites ie pipelaying, roads, sewers etc all aspects of the construction industry.

The job is currently on skills in demand list.

I would be grateful for any advice.

Cheers

Have you tried registering your details with www.seek.com.au www.jobserve.com.au or www.careerone.co.au ? My husband is involved with the construction industry and has had lots of info from these, Career One is linked to the newspapers and he has had a few emailed to him which were advertised in the Townsville paper.

Good luck.

With the current level of development in FNQ, you should not have a problem.

I work for a construction company (the largest in Australia). We're crying out for skiled workers. You may have to be a bit flexible on location but there are jobs in Qld for sure

Hi
I am working for a Civil construction Company on the Gold Coast and if this area is anything to go on, you will have no problem at all finding work.

hi

Many thanks for taking the time to reply, this sounds promising, If you do hear of any Construction companies offering sponsorship, please let me know.

We have been looking at North Queensland ie Townsville etc. Do you know what the demand is like in that region.

I have tried to send emails to you, but not sure if they reached you!

Many thanks again
