Civil Labourer Hire Melbourne | Bluestone Labour Group

Labouring is where most labour hire providers do their worst work, because it is the easiest role to fill badly. Anyone with a white card can be called a labourer. Whether they last the week, follow a direction the first time, and are there on Monday is a different question, and it is the only one that matters to a site supervisor.

Bluestone places civil labourers with Melbourne contractors on road works, drainage, subdivisions, bulk earthworks and concrete crews. We take the view that a labourer who does not turn up costs you more than the margin on the placement, so we would rather send nobody than send someone we do not back.

What we supply

The work we place labourers into

Civil labouring covers a wide spread of tasks. We match the worker to the crew and the work, not to a generic slot.

Drainage and trenching

Pipe laying support, trench work, bedding and backfill, and the general labour a drainage crew runs on.

Concrete support

Labourers working to a concrete crew on pours, screeding, prep and clean up. Useful when you need numbers on pour day and not the rest of the week.

Road works and pavement

Kerb and channel support, asphalt crews, line marking support and general road works labour.

Subdivision and earthworks

Site labour on residential and industrial subdivisions, working alongside plant and survey.

Spotters

Trained spotters for excavation near services and for plant working in proximity to people and structures.

General site labour

Site clean up, material handling, traffic and pedestrian barriers, and the work that keeps a site moving.

Why Bluestone

What you are actually buying

Workers who arrive for the pre start with boots, hi vis and their card.
A replacement organised by us when someone does not show, not a phone call telling you they did not.
Contractors or casual employees, whichever engagement model suits your project and your risk position.
One consolidated weekly invoice, timesheets approved by your supervisor, no sign up fee and no lock in.

Bluestone Labour Group holds Victorian Labour Hire Licence VICLHL11535. In Victoria it is a legal requirement for a host employer to use a licensed labour hire provider, and the obligation sits with you as well as with us.

Coverage

Where we place civil labourers

Most of our civil labour goes into the three growth corridors, because that is where the drainage, roads and subdivision work is.

North: Craigieburn, Mickleham, Wollert, Epping and Whittlesea. West: Tarneit, Truganina, Melton, Rockbank and Werribee. South east: Clyde, Cranbourne, Officer, Pakenham and Berwick. We also place into inner and middle suburb works where the constraint is access and traffic rather than volume, and into Geelong for longer bookings.

Crew numbers matter more than distance. Two labourers anywhere in Melbourne tomorrow is straightforward. Eight labourers in Melton tomorrow is a different conversation, and the earlier you have it with us the better the workers you get.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Most requests are filled within 24 hours and we can often cover a same day gap if you call in the morning. Numbers matter here. One labourer tomorrow is easier than six labourers tomorrow.

Yes. Casual employees are engaged on our payroll under the relevant Modern Award and we handle wages, PAYG, superannuation and WorkCover. Many host employers prefer this because it removes the sham contracting risk that comes with treating a labourer as a contractor.

Tell us on the day and we will replace them. We would rather know within the first shift than find out at the end of the week that you have been carrying someone.

No minimum number of workers and no lock in contract. Single day and single worker bookings are fine, though longer bookings let us put a better worker on it.
