Construction

First Grade works closely with organisations delivering commercial construction projects across retail, office, hospitality, education, and mixed‑use developments. This sector demands a workforce with strong technical capability, adherence to safety standards, and the ability to operate efficiently within complex project environments. We provide qualified and dependable personnel who support contractors and developers in meeting project milestones, maintaining compliance, and achieving high‑quality construction outcomes.

Civil Construction

Our civil construction partners are responsible for developing and maintaining essential public infrastructure, including roads, bridges, drainage systems, and large‑scale earthworks. These projects demand precision, compliance, and strong technical capability. First Grade supplies qualified and reliable workers who assist in meeting project timelines, regulatory requirements, and operational expectations.

Manufacturing

The manufacturing sector relies on a skilled and process‑driven workforce to transform raw materials into finished products. This includes a broad range of environments, from general production facilities to highly regulated food manufacturing operations. First Grade partners with manufacturers across these sectors to supply personnel who demonstrate attention to detail, adherence to safety and hygiene standards, and a commitment to maintaining efficient, high‑quality output. Our recruitment solutions support stable operations and long‑term workforce capability.
