Labour Hire is commonly used to meet flexible staffing requirements for projects, plant maintenance, production, and/or engineering needs generated by increased workloads or to simply replace permanent personnel who are absent from work for any reason.
Supplying qualified, committed and reliable tradespeople has been the foundation of Chelgrave since the first day we opened our doors more than 40 years ago.
We are proud that all of our Operations Team are fully qualified in HR or trade. This means that we understand trades and the importance of using quality personnel in the workplace. We know the difference between a Welder and a Boilermaker, a Turner and a Toolmaker, and all the aspects of Fitters, Electricians and Instrument Technicians.
When it comes to labour hire, Chelgrave has long been considered the specialists. This is a result of our decision to focus specifically on qualified and experienced personnel. All of our personnel are subject to Chelgrave’s stringent in-house checks to ensure that they are considered “Chelgrave ready” and, subsequently, “Client ready”.
