Contact an AWF Consultant today. 0800 88 88 60 | awf.co.nz Recruitment company AWF has seen a distinct uptake in demand for temporary and permanent staff from employers finding it increasingly difficult to source the skills they need for major infrastructure projects around the country. The company has a long history working with all major civil and construction companies across New Zealand including Downer, Fulton Hogan, Heb, CPB, Fletcher and various joint ventures. Projects include Tauranga’s Cameron Road, the Tauranga Northern Link, City Rail Link and Eastern Busway in Auckland and Transmission Gully and Te Ara Tupua - Petone to Melling cycle link in Wellington. “Our specialised recruitment offerings and long-term partnerships with Tier 1 and 2 contractors in the local civil and construction sector renders AWF the perfect fit for these significant projects,” says AWF National Sales Manager, Fiona Gates. “It gives our clients the flexibility to upscale or downscale and our workers the potential to find part time or full-time roles, both temporary and permanent. We can move people around multiple projects, often resulting in direct offers of employment from our clients.” Tauranga Business Manager Simon Curtin says the skills shortage is a huge challenge for the sector. AWF’s connections and proven methodology for sourcing the right workers has been a huge positive for clients during these testing times. “We have the ability to mobilise people quickly by leveraging our experience, project knowledge and training capabilities to provide the workforce our clients need,” he says. As New Zealand’s largest recruitment company, with more than 30 years’ experience, AWF is well placed to provide the variety of skilled and semi-skilled workers needed to keep New Zealand working. With 21 branches across the country, AWF has the specialist sourcing capability to build and maintain a solid pool of talent with various skill sets. As a New Zealand operated company, AWF leverages local networks to complement its recruitment advertising activity, scouting for general expertise while specifically targeting the high-demand and technical skill sets clients and projects require. Simon says AWF reacts quickly to market changes, especially in the area of training. For example AWF is one of the few agencies in New Zealand with the internal capability to train, mentor and assess for the Code of Practice for Temporary Traffic Management (CoPTTM). Annually AWF trains on average 1,100 people in traffic management alone. Most recently AWF has developed a recognition system via a Certificate of Competency, awarded to those deemed competent following this training. He says health and safety is a priority for AWF and is one of the reasons many workers come to AWF. AWF has a 5-star IMPAC PREQUAL qualification that it has held for the past six years clearly demonstrating AWF’s commitment to, and achievement of, high standards of health and safety. “Essentially AWF minimises the risk of the employment process for clients by providing skilled and job fit people into safe roles across New Zealand,” says Fiona. “In these extraordinary times we know our client partners need a provider with the depth of scope for sourcing, retaining and building solutions for talent, to ensure day to day operations and significant projects can be delivered upon. From assisting local businesses, to working with some of New Zealand’s largest enterprises, projects and iconic brands, AWF is proud to play its part in keeping New Zealand working.” AWF - Your Recruitment Partner
