Civil Construction Recruitment
Civil Construction Recruitment
Australia's civil construction sector faces persistent shortages in skilled tradespeople, engineers and project managers, risking project delays and rising costs.
Lorg Talent addresses this through a two-stage sourcing model: Onshore First, drawing on our local networks to fill roles quickly wherever suitable Australian based candidates exist; and, where gaps remain, International Sourcing across our Ireland, UK, South Africa, and New Zealand pipelines — backed by integrated 482 TSS visa sponsorship through AHWC Immigration Law.
One partner, from candidate sourcing through to visa approval and onboarding — delivering speed, and global reach when it's needed.

Our 6 step process
The Brief
01
We start by understanding exactly what you need — role scope, job description, remuneration, location, and timeline. This detailed brief becomes the foundation for every search decision that follows, ensuring we're targeting the right candidates from day one.
02
Onshore Search
Before looking overseas, we thoroughly search the Australian market — including candidates already here on working holiday visas, student visas, and other onshore pathways. Wherever a suitable local candidate exists, we move quickly to place them, minimising cost and time-to-hire.
03
International Search
Where the onshore market can't meet demand, we tap into our established international partner network — spanning Ireland, the UK, South Africa, New Zealand and Canada etc. — to source skilled, work-ready candidates ready to relocate to Australia.
04
Candidate Selection
We manage the full selection process on your behalf: providing shortlisted CVs, our unique One-Way Video Candidate Introductions, and coordinating Teams interviews directly with candidates. Comprehensive reference checks are conducted before any final sign-off.
05
Visa
Once a candidate is selected, our in-house immigration law firm, AHWC Immigration Law, manages the entire visa process — from application through to approval —ensuring full compliance and a smooth pathway to Australia.
06
Relocation & Mobilisation
We coordinate the candidate's arrival and start date, supporting a smooth transition into the role. Our relationship continues well beyond day one — we stay engaged with both employer and candidate at least until permanent residency is granted.
