About our construction recruitment agency

According to KPMG’s 2023 Global Construction Survey, the Australian engineering and construction industry is at a pivotal moment - facing challenges but also brimming with opportunities. The survey highlights the importance of technology adoption, with a significant rise in the use of mobile platforms, robotic process automation, and artificial intelligence. Additionally, there is a growing trend towards modular/offsite manufacturing, with 84% of respondents considering prefabrication as an important solution for capital projects.

Within the construction industry, Talon Recruitment Solutions is looking to recruit innovative and adaptable professionals from all levels of seniority and skill sets—from Project and Commercial Managers to Fitters, Labourers, Electricians and Trades Assistants. At the managerial end of the industry, job seekers with a strong understanding of risk management, project governance, and data analytics are highly valued, as these competencies are crucial for navigating the industry's current challenges and capitalising on future opportunities.

There are currently vacancies in a wide range of construction roles, from working on the tools to high-level management. Construction Labourers and junior Engineers are essential for day-to-day boots–on-the-ground work, and workers in these roles often advance their career by using their hands-on experience. On the other end, high-level office/worksite hybrid roles like Project Managers and Construction Directors are responsible for overseeing entire projects. These roles require a deep understanding of project governance, risk management, and data analytics.
