The manufacturing industry contributes around $100 billion to the Australian economy & accounts for approximately 7% of the total workforce.
However, the industry is plagued by challenges that come with an ageing workforce; a skilled generation entering retirement. That means there’s a looming labour shortage in both major cities and remote areas.
What’s more, thanks to advances in technology and automation, more and more firms are requiring workers with both technical and soft skills. However, poor industry reputation and relatively lower wages mean that the sector is failing to attract young candidates with the right mix of these skills.
Trojan provides high-calibre, reliable people to Australia’s automotive, chemical, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, medical device, and FMCG industries. We also help companies upskill quickly when new opportunities arise, such as major government infrastructure contracts.
Our specialist consultants understand the need for adaptable workers that grasp critical systems such as GMP, HACCP and ISO. And over the years we’ve built a large database of reliable candidates. We also utilise a mix of sourcing tools to engage with both passive and active candidates, and our industry knowledge means that we can provide sound advice around candidate salary and career expectations.
