ONBOARDING

From registration to mobilisation

Six steps get you from registering your interest to working in the field.

1. Register interest

Tell us who you are and the work you are after.

2. Submit documents

Provide your licences, insurances and checks.

3. Verification

Typically 1–5 business days.

4. Induction and training

Client induction and training for the project.

5. Competency check

Confirm you are ready for the work.

FAQ

Contractor questions

Once your documents are verified, you’re booked into the client’s next induction. Training then takes 1–2 days to a week, depending on the project.
Classroom and induction time is unpaid. On some projects, jobs you complete during buddy training are paid at the standard rate. Each listing says which applies. Where a client requires paid accreditation courses, such as Western Power’s SCT and MMM in WA, the subcontractor pays the course fees.
