Awesome company to work for, I am on a big construction site in Auckland CBD and my Trade Assist support from the back office, Peter Sarmiento, is ALWAYS there for me and ALWAYS come thru to enable me to focus on work. Trade Assist is all about Health and Safety and makes sure you have what you need to do your job. As long as you put the effort in and do the work, this is an amazing company to work for.

After having worked with other 'Temp' agencies, I have found Trade Assist to be well ahead in their approach to their staff. Very professional where needed, but at the same time, very personable. Hannah and Bex have been amazing to deal with. Hannah, especially, with her down-to-earth nature. (Almost like that little sister I never had!! Lol.) Highly recommend the team at Trade Assist.
