Take the Next Step
Do you have what it takes?
Veterans in Construction understand the challenges faced by veterans during the transition from military to civilian life. We also understand that all veterans have many ‘non tangible skills’ such as Teamwork, Mission Focus, Integrity, Loyalty, Initiative, and Adaptability amongst others.
We value these skill sets and promote them to the construction industry on a daily basis. Every worker we have employed thoroughly enjoys their work as do the worksite superintendents who constantly report to us just how good veterans are at completing any task with minimal fuss.
If you like the idea of working on major projects, both on the tools or in the office, please fill out the contact form and we will contact you ASAP.
Our mission is to be the labour hire company of choice in Victoria by December 2019 and employ as many veterans as possible.
A Case Study to be Proud of
"Level crossing project veterans partnership deemed a success"
Taken from RailExpress.com.au
After one year, the partnership between an Australian veterans group and the Level Crossing Removal project in Melbourne’s south-east has helped a dozen ex-military personnel transition to civilian life.
Veterans in Construction – inspired by the Helmets to Hard Hats program in the United States – was co-founded in 2015 by David Cook and Dan Cairns to provide advice, mentoring, support, and connections for Australian veterans looking to get into construction work.
