Shutdown and mechanical

A shutdown window doesn't move for a headcount gap so the crew has to be right the first time.

Planned shutdowns run to a fixed start and end date, set months in advance and rarely negotiable once the plant is offline. Every day the crew is short adds directly to a schedule that had no slack in it to begin with.

That’s the specific problem labour hire solves in this sector. Not just more people — the right number of ticketed people, mobilised for the length of the shutdown and released the moment it’s done.

We supply the roles mechanical and shutdown works call for most, at the volume a shutdown needs rather than the steady headcount of an ongoing site.

What shutdown principal contractors ask us for

Shutdown work often runs under tighter permit-to-work and isolation procedures than standard construction, with less room to fix a documentation gap once the plant is down. Current tickets, high-risk work licences matched to the task, and workers’ compensation evidence need to be sorted before the shutdown starts, not during it.

We hold this documentation for every worker before placement and can supply it on request, including at the volume a shutdown crew requires.
