Job description

Shotcrete Nozzleman, this one is for you!

Off the ground, on the nozzle, and part of a crew that knows what they're doing. PCA has landed multiple new contracts up and down the East Coast, and we're after an experienced Shotcrete Nozzleman to join us.

Bonus points if you've also got concreting experience under your belt, we'd love to hear from you too!

Office based in Bella Vista NSW

This role requires travel and living away from home on a rostered basis - we go where the work is!

The role

Casual to permanent roles, with genuine long-term opportunity for the right people!

Roster is on average: 21 days on-site, 4 days home (2 paid, 2 unpaid), plus separate travel days either side. There will be some variances to this pending the job and the climate.

We pay an ordinary hourly rate for the first 8 hours each day, with penalty rates after that. Expect an average 10-hour day and a 6-day week while on-site - plenty of o.t included in weekly pay cycle.

We also pay living away from home allowance, accommodation, meal, travel time + mileage + fare.
