Hire vetted trade assistants in Sydney in minutes.
Sydney’s construction pipeline stretches from CBD towers to the Western Sydney growth corridor and the new airport precinct at Badgerys Creek. MyGig supplies White Card labour and trade support across the metro area, with the deepest coverage where the work is: the west, the south-west and the infrastructure corridors between them.
A good TA roughly doubles what a qualified trade gets done in a day: book them for the weeks the program actually needs the leverage. Typical requirements: white card (cpcwhs1001).
