What trades and roles can CWS supply?

CWS supplies heavy diesel fitters, boilermakers, auto electricians, Franna crane operators, trade assistants, supervisors, superintendents and general site personnel for mining and heavy-industry operations. Our people are available for shutdowns, project work and ongoing labour hire across mine sites and workshops throughout the Bowen Basin and regional Queensland.

Are your tradespeople inducted and site-ready?

Yes. Every person we place is qualified, ticketed and site-ready, and arrives inducted, equipped and briefed for the role. That means you get productive people from day one, not a training exercise, with the competencies and safety standards your site expects.

How quickly can CWS mobilise labour to a site?

As fast as the job needs. We keep an experienced team and equipped resources ready to deploy, and we are based in Mackay, right in the Bowen Basin. Give us your timeline and we will confirm availability - we know urgent means today, not next week.

Do you offer short-term and long-term labour hire?

Both. From a few days of shutdown cover to ongoing placements, CWS scales labour hire to suit your operation - short-term gaps, planned leave, peak workloads, project work or long-term support.

How is labour hire priced?

Labour hire rates depend on the role, the roster, the location and how long you need the crew, so we quote each job rather than list a flat rate. Tell us the scope and we will give you a clear, tailored quote.

Who employs and insures the workers?

CWS employs the tradespeople we place, so payroll, superannuation, workers compensation and the recruitment admin sit with us, not you. You get reliable, compliant labour and less paperwork on your side.
