Job description

Recruiter – Blue Collar (Mining, Resources & Energy)

SGC Australia · Perth CBD, WA · Full time ·

About us

SGC Australia is an Australian-owned, multi-disciplinary electrical, instrumentation and controls business with over 15 years' experience. We deliver projects and scopes for mining, resources and energy clients, from design, PLC/SCADA and panel manufacture through to construction, commissioning, shutdowns and maintenance. Our recruitment team builds the crews and supervisors who deliver that work, and our mobilisation team gets them to site safely and on time.

The role

Reporting to our Recruitment Lead, you'll own blue-collar recruitment end to end: electricians, instrument technicians, riggers and trades assistants for shutdowns, projects and ongoing FIFO rosters (2:1, 3:1 and more).

• Source, screen and shortlist trades for shutdowns, projects and rostered roles
• Turn around short-notice crew requests, often within 24–48 hours
• Build and keep a warm pool of reliable trades who want to work with us again
• Check tickets, licences, medicals and references before anyone is put forward
• Hand confirmed placements to mobilisation for flights, accommodation and site access
• Keep candidate records and pipelines up to date in our ERP

What makes this role different

• Pace: shutdown work moves fast, and dates and headcount change at short notice. You'll enjoy juggling several crews at once.
• Variety: different clients, sites and rosters every week, from fixed plant to remote power stations.
• Room to grow: you'll work alongside our white-collar team, with exposure to supervision and professional roles.
• Support: a dedicated mobilisation team handles the logistics, so you can focus on finding and looking after people.

About you

• Organised under pressure, with strong attention to detail on compliance

What's in it for you

• A supportive team with a great culture
• Exposure to white-collar recruitment as you grow
• WFH 1 day per week.
