Qualified tradespeople for projects, shutdowns and permanent roles.

Licensed South Australian Labour Hire ProviderSA Labour Hire Licence No. 357563
The problem we solve

When the job can't wait for the right tradesperson

A project start date is locked in, a shutdown is coming up, or production has jumped, and the qualified welders, fitters or electricians you need aren't answering your ads. Every week a role stays empty costs you output and puts pressure on your existing crew.

Umoja helps you fill those gaps with screened, qualified tradespeople, whether you need them for a few weeks or for the long term.

Our services

Flexible trades staffing, short or long term.

Casual & Project Labour Hire

Tradespeople for short-term projects, peak production, shutdowns and maintenance periods. Umoja employs the worker and handles pay, superannuation and workers' compensation. You direct the work on site.

Ongoing Labour Hire

Reliable casual workers on an ongoing basis, with the flexibility to scale up or down as your workload changes.

Permanent Recruitment

We search for and screen candidates for permanent trade roles, including positions in regional South Australia. The worker is employed directly by your business.

Overseas-Qualified Tradespeople

Our network includes internationally qualified tradespeople. We only put forward candidates who already hold the right to work in Australia and whose qualifications meet Australian requirements for the role.

Umoja does not provide visa or immigration advice.

How it works

From request to site-ready, in four steps.

01

Tell us what you need

The trade, number of workers, site location, start date and duration.

02

We match

We shortlist workers whose tickets, licences and experience fit the job.

03

You confirm

You review candidates and approve them before they start.

04

We follow up

We check in on site performance and adjust as your needs change.

Our screening standard

Tickets and licences confirmed before anyone arrives on site.

We verify qualifications and licences against the role, not just the CV, and record expiry dates so nothing lapses mid-project.

Before any placement we verify

  • Trade qualifications (e.g. Certificate III or equivalent)
  • Relevant licences: SA electrical worker licence, high-risk work licences, forklift and EWP tickets as required
  • Construction induction (White Card) for construction sites
  • Identity and right to work in Australia
  • Work history and professional referees
  • Site-specific requirements such as medicals or drug and alcohol testing, where the client requires them

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Who employs the worker?

For labour hire, Umoja does. For permanent placements, your business does.

Who is responsible for safety on site?

Safety is shared. You manage site-specific hazards and inductions, and Umoja makes sure workers are qualified, ticketed and briefed.

How fast can you supply workers?

It depends on the trade and location. We'll give you a realistic timeframe when you enquire.

Can you sponsor overseas tradespeople?

Visa sponsorship is between the employer and the Department of Home Affairs. We recommend seeking advice from a registered migration agent. Umoja does not provide visa or immigration advice.
