01 Track record

We've staffed the big ones.

CityLink, EastLink, East West Link, NorthConnex, M4 East, West Gate Tunnel, North East Link, Sydney Metro, Snowy 2.0 and Suburban Rail Loop. Tunnels, rail, roads, water and energy, on the client side and the contractor side.

  • 100+years on major projects, between four founders
  • 750+white-collar hires mobilised on one project, North East Link
  • 560+hires in twelve months to stand up Sydney Metro SSTOM
  • 1,000+professional hires a year, run from inside a tier one contractor

02 The problem

Good projects lose their best people before close-out.

The work tails off, the next job is hiring, and the people who know the project best leave to lock in their next one. Nobody blames them.

We close that gap from both sides. We employ senior project professionals and place them for as long as the phase runs. Our contract, our payroll, our licence, our insurance. When the phase ends, we move them to the next project.

You pay a margin on the day rate. No placement fee. No minimum term.

We do the tapping for you.

03 For clients

Three moments. Ring us.

Three moments on every project when the people you need are the people you cannot hire. We cover all three. Critical engineering and support roles, employed by us, working for you.

Bid

A pursuit team for the tender. Bid manager, estimators, planners, design managers. On our books, stood down the day the result lands.

Mobilisation

The start-up team on site while your permanent hiring catches up. Senior engineers, commercial, controls, HSE. Weeks, not months.

Close-out

The people who finish the job after the leavers have left. Completions, commercial, handover. With you until the last certificate.

Who rings us

Project directors

“I need five senior people on site in three weeks.”

Recruitment and P&C leads

“There is eighteen months left and nobody will take a fixed-term contract.”

Bid managers

“I cannot get anyone released for the pursuit.”

Managing directors

“We are winning work faster than we can hire.”

How it is priced

We employ them. You direct them. A margin on the day rate, agreed up front, tied to the phase. No placement fee, no minimum term, nothing added to your headcount. Licensed and insured.

Transport and rail, tunnelling, energy, water, data centres. Across Australia, and wherever our clients go next.

07 Questions

Questions people ask us.

What does Level Heads do?

We employ proven project professionals and place them on major projects for a defined phase, usually a bid, a mobilisation or a close-out. When the phase ends, we move them to their next project.

Who employs the person, you or us?

We do. Our contract, our payroll, our licence, our insurance. The person works on your site under your direction and through your induction, and the employment relationship sits with Level Heads.

How is it priced?

A margin on the day rate, agreed up front and invoiced on approved timesheets. There is no placement fee.

Is there a minimum term?

No. The engagement is tied to the phase you are staffing and ends when the phase ends. Notice periods are set to suit that phase.

What happens when the phase ends?

We redeploy the person to their next project. You carry no redundancy exposure and the role adds nothing to your permanent headcount.

Do you place permanent staff?

Our model is employment through Level Heads for a defined phase. If you want to keep someone on at the end of it, talk to us.

Which roles do you cover?

Critical engineering and support roles, including project and construction management, commercial and contracts, planning and controls, design management, HSE, industrial relations and HR, pre-contracts and estimating, and quality and completions.

Which sectors and where?

Transport and rail, tunnelling, energy and transmission, water and data centres. We work across Australia and follow clients to New Zealand and Southeast Asia.

How does this sit with our internal recruitment team?

Alongside it. Your team should always be the first call. We cover the roles the histogram will not let them fill, and you approve everyone who goes on site.
