About AWCON
AWCON is one of Australia’s fast-growing civil construction contractors. We build the infrastructure that keeps mining and heavy industry running, delivering complex projects from $1M to over $100M for Tier 1 clients across the country.
With offices and projects in every Australian state, we offer what many contractors can’t: steady, varied work on serious projects, and a genuine path to a long-term career.
The Opportunity
Our pipeline is strong and we’re growing nationally, so we’re looking for skilled Concreters, Steel Fixers and Civil Allrounders from New Zealand who are ready to make the move to Australia.
If you’ve been thinking about the jump across the ditch, this is your chance to land with a company that has the work, the projects, and the long-term vision to back you. Once you’re settled in Australia, you’ll work FIFO/DIDO from your Australian base to our project sites.
What You’ll Be Doing
Concreters: Taking ownership of concrete placement, finishing, and detailing on major civil and industrial builds.
Steel Fixers: Delivering accurate steel fixing and job set out where precision matters.
Allrounders: Getting stuck in wherever you’re needed across concrete, steel fixing, formwork, and general civil works. If you’re the kind of tradie who can turn your hand to anything on site, we want to hear from you.
What You’ll Bring
Proven experience in your trade on civil projects
Mine site or heavy industry experience
A strong safety mindset and pride in keeping your crew and site safe
A valid driver’s licence (HR licence preferred)
A Construction White Card, or willingness to get one before you start
The ability to pass a pre-employment medical, drug and alcohol screen, and police check
Why Join AWCON?
Our people are the foundation of everything we build. We back our crews with the gear, the projects, and the support to grow, and we’re looking for people who want more than just the next job.
Work hard, then switch off: a solid balance of time on site and time off
Big projects, big clients: work on major mining and heavy industry builds with Tier 1 clients
Kitted out: all PPE and uniforms provided
Do it right: a company with high standards for quality and safety
Room to grow: a 12-month contract with real long-term potential
Important to Know
Applicants are responsible for their own relocation to Australia, including flights and accommodation. Once you’re based in Australia, project travel is arranged on a FIFO/DIDO basis.
