Hunter Labour Hire have recently celebrated their 4^th birthday and have been supplying labour hire to the Sydney construction industry consistently and safely since January 2015.

Pricing for Skilled Labourer Sydney

We’ve spoke a bit before about the labour hire rates and what’s included in them but for labourer hire the difference in price between a general labourer and a skilled labourer/trade assistant is about $3 to $5 per hour. Our recruitment team generally find that clients who opt for a skilled labourer over a general labourer often find that although the price is more expensive, the job is completed quicker and with less questions asked, therefore, saving them money in the long run.
