Mechanical Fitters, Boilermakers, Riggers and Trade Assistants supplied for shutdowns, maintenance and projects across WA
Site ready trades, verified and ready to mobilise
Mining clients do not need names from a database. They need people who can step onto site, understand the scope and perform safely under pressure. Ironlink focuses on verified trades with the tickets, attitude and site experience required for real mining work.
Every worker is checked for tickets, experience, attitude and site readiness before we put them forward.
Assessed, ticketed and compliant
Reliability is the first filter. We check trade background, tickets, references and recent site performance before anyone is recommended. If the standard is not right, we do not send them.
We check references, confirm tickets and verify recent site performance before anyone enters our network.
Reference checked and competency verified
Shutdown windows are short, and missed labour hurts the whole plan. We maintain a ready network of compliant trades so crews can be sourced, checked and moved quickly when the scope changes.
A compliant workforce network ready for short notice mobilisation.
Compliant and mobilisation ready
Ironlink operates within the industry, present on mine sites, shutdowns and maintenance projects alongside the trades we supply. This gives us first-hand insight into each tradesperson's technical strengths and performance, allowing us to match proven capability to the specific demands of your operation.
Our advantage is first hand site knowledge. We know which trades perform well under pressure, who is reliable and where their strengths sit.
Capability assessed through real site experience
Ironlink focuses on the trades we understand deeply. That means stronger screening, better conversations with clients and faster matching between the scope and the people who can deliver it.
We stay close to the trades where our knowledge and network are strongest.

Reliable trade support
On RequestThis is the type of work our people are expected to understand. Not generic recruitment language, practical scope drawn from WA mining and industrial maintenance.
Trade Assistants are available on request to support all three trades.
When clients bring labour hire onto site, the expectations are clear: safe people, verified skills, reliable attendance and the right attitude from the first shift.
Personnel are prepared for the site environment, with tickets and requirements checked before mobilisation so day one does not become a paperwork exercise.
Ticketed, checked and ready for day one
Trade certificates, licences and high risk work tickets are checked before placement. If a competency cannot be confirmed, the worker is not presented.
Every ticket checked before placement, no shortcuts
The people we put forward understand that safety is part of the job, not a slogan. We look for workers who respect procedures, communicate clearly and do not cut corners.
People who treat safety as part of the work
Short lead times are common in mining. We keep candidates engaged and documentation moving so urgent gaps can be filled without losing control of compliance.
A ready network for short notice labour gaps
From one trade for a short maintenance window to a larger shutdown crew, we build supply around your scope, roster and timeline.
From one trade to a shutdown crew, scaled to scope
Shutdown labour needs to be planned, moved and managed properly. We support crew numbers, mobilisation timing, compliance checks and changes in scope through to demobilisation.
From crew planning to demobilisation
Whether you need short term labour, shutdown support, ongoing maintenance coverage or project crew supply, Ironlink structures the workforce around your site, roster, scope and compliance requirements.
Qualified trades supplied to your site for short term, ongoing or rostered requirements under your supervision.

A simple, disciplined process built around the realities of site work. You define the requirement. Ironlink manages sourcing, screening, compliance and mobilisation.
Trade, tickets, site, roster, dates, duration and environment. We clarify the details early so the shortlist is relevant.
We search our existing network first, then widen the search when the scope requires a specific profile.
Tickets, medicals, inductions and clearances are checked before mobilisation where required.
Briefed, organised and ready to integrate with your crew from the first shift.
Payroll, compliance follow up and performance communication remain managed while the work is underway.

Our story began while working together on a major project in Australia's Northern Territory. One of us had built a career as a Mechanical Fitter across Western Australia's mining industry. The other brought years of experience as a tunnel mechanic on major infrastructure projects throughout Europe.
Although our careers started on opposite sides of the world, we quickly realised we shared the same values and the same frustrations.
Throughout the project, we watched workers being removed from site because they simply weren't capable of performing the job they had been recruited to do. Every incorrect placement slowed productivity, placed additional pressure on experienced crews and damaged the client's confidence in the recruitment process.
At the same time, we met highly skilled tradespeople who had accepted roles based on one job description, only to arrive on site and discover they were expected to do something completely different. Their experience wasn't being recognised, their strengths weren't being utilised, and both the worker and the client paid the price.
After long shifts in extreme heat, demanding shutdowns and high pressure environments, one thing became obvious.
The last thing a supervisor needs is uncertainty about the people arriving on site.
That's when we made ourselves a promise. If we ever built a recruitment company, it would be founded on honesty, technical understanding and accountability. We would only represent people whose skills we genuinely believed in, and we would work just as hard to understand our clients' operational needs as we do our candidates' capabilities.
Today, Ironlink Workforce exists to bridge that gap. We help mining and industrial businesses build stronger teams by supplying trade qualified, site ready professionals whose experience matches the job they're hired to perform.
Because when the right people are matched with the right role, everyone benefits.
Projects run more efficiently
Workers feel valued
Clients gain confidence
And that's exactly the standard we set for every placement we make.
Our story began on a major project in Australia's Northern Territory. One of us had built a career as a Mechanical Fitter across Western Australia's mining industry. The other brought years of experience as a tunnel mechanic on major infrastructure projects throughout Europe. Different sides of the world, yet the same values and the same frustrations.
Throughout the project, we saw workers removed from site because they were not capable of the role they had been recruited for. We also met highly skilled tradespeople whose experience was overlooked and underused. In both cases, the worker and the client paid the price.
The last thing a supervisor needs is uncertainty about the people arriving on site.
So we made ourselves a promise. If we built a recruitment company, it would stand on honesty, technical understanding and accountability. We would represent only those whose skills we genuinely believed in, and understand our clients' operations as closely as our candidates' capabilities.
Today, Ironlink Workforce exists to bridge that gap, matching trade qualified, site ready professionals to the roles their experience truly fits. When the right people meet the right role, everyone benefits, and that is the standard we set for every placement we make.
"We needed three fitters in the Pilbara with less than 72 hours notice. Ironlink sorted it. All three showed up on time, tickets were current, and they didn't need hand-holding. That's all I ask for."
"I've dealt with a lot of labour hire companies over the years. The difference with Ironlink is you can tell they actually know the industry. The boilermakers they sent us were good operators. No complaints."
"The riggers they put on our project were solid. Came with the right tickets, understood the lift plan, and got on well with the crew. The compliance side was sorted before they even arrived on site."
