Construction, trades and facilities recruitment for people who keep work moving.

TPG Construction is the site and project team at The Partnership Group, led personally by Co-Founder Chris Tipper. We place the people who keep projects and sites moving, permanent and temp: construction managers, project managers, site managers, supervisors, estimators, contract administrators, carpenters, joiners, shopfitters and facilities specialists. Mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire sit with TPG Engineering, also led by Chris, so the two teams work the same projects side by side.

Australia's construction and infrastructure workforce remains under pressure. Jobs and Skills Australia has identified Construction Trades Workers as being in national shortage, while Infrastructure Australia reports a $242 billion Major Public Infrastructure Pipeline across FY2024-25 to FY2028-29. This pressure pulls skilled people across commercial, industrial, infrastructure, facilities and subcontractor markets.

The shortage is not only a shortage of people. It is a shortage of suitable, qualified and available people who can work in the right environment. A strong electrician, HVAC technician, site manager or facilities leader may still be wrong for a role if the project environment, compliance requirements, travel, site expectations or leadership style do not fit.
