Why TQN Personnel
Industrial employers in Gladstone need people who already understand permits, isolations and site safety culture, and that is hard to judge from a CV. We probe it at interview and again with the supervisors who managed the candidate on site. We also check the paperwork that can hold up mobilisation, including trade certificates, high risk work licences and medicals where the employer requires them. Permanent hires come with a 90-day guarantee, and shutdown and project workers are supplied on our payroll as a licensed Queensland labour hire provider.

Hiring demand across Gladstone
Gladstone's labour force is near 32,288 people, and manufacturing and construction lead its employing sectors. A major water pipeline is in its final stages, and the council's major projects list includes a proposed port access route and a proposed rail link, which would bring further civil work if they go ahead.
Fitzroy to Gladstone Pipeline
117 km water pipeline from the Lower Fitzroy River to Gladstone. The final pipe has been installed, with commissioning to follow.

source ↗Inland Rail Toowoomba to Gladstone
Proposed rail extension from Toowoomba to Gladstone, a possible future source of rail construction work.
source ↗Recruitment licensing & compliance
For Gladstone employers, permanent recruitment and labour hire are treated differently. Placing a permanent employee is a recruitment service, and Queensland does not require a labour hire licence for it. Supplying workers for a shutdown or project, where we stay the employer, is labour hire. Queensland's licensing law for that work, the Labour Hire Licensing Act 2017, has applied since 16 April 2018: the provider needs a licence, and the host can only use licensed providers. Our licence number is supplied when we engage, and you can use the Queensland labour hire licensing site to check it.
FAQs
What do employment agencies in Gladstone recruit for?
Mostly industrial and port roles: process operators, maintenance trades, engineers, planners and logistics staff, plus health care, retail and administration roles for the wider community.
Can recruitment agencies in Gladstone supply shutdown crews?
Licensed ones can. Shutdown and project crews are labour hire, so the provider must be licensed in Queensland. We are, and we supply trades and labourers for planned maintenance work.
How do you check high risk work licences?
We sight the licence, confirm the classes and expiry date, and ask referees about the candidate's recent use of the equipment. A licence alone does not show someone is current, so we check both.
Do you recruit engineers in Gladstone?
Yes. We recruit mechanical, chemical, electrical and civil engineers for operations, maintenance and project roles, and we search nationally when the local pool is limited.
