Hard Hat Tradie was built for one purpose—to give tradies, subcontractors and construction businesses a smarter, faster and more reliable way to connect. No more relying on word of mouth, old contact lists, or last-minute phone calls. We've created a digital ecosystem designed specifically for the trade industry, where finding the right person for the job is as simple as a search, a post, or a message.
Whether you're an apprentice looking for your next step, a labourer needing a gig for the week, or a fully qualified contractor managing multiple sites—we've got you covered.
A Platform Built for the Trade Industry
Hard Hat Tradie isn't a job board and it's not an agency. It's a dedicated trades network where every user can find work, find workers, and stay connected—all in one place.
Show Your Skills and Get Verified
Every tradie creates a profile that highlights their trade, skills, tickets, locations and availability. All tradies are verified, and qualifications can be uploaded and displayed, so businesses know exactly who they're hiring.
Find Work or Get Found
Be discoverable for one-day help, short-term subcontracting, long-term projects or full-time employment. The platform puts you in front of the people who need your skills.
Search for the Workers You Need
If you're short a sparkie, chippy, brickie, labourer or specialist, you can search instantly, filter by trade, location and availability, and contact them directly inside the app.
Post Jobs and Get Replies
Tradies and businesses can post job opportunities and receive responses straight to the in-app message system. No email chains. No chasing. Just direct communication.
Rolling Membership, No Lock-Ins
Membership works on a rolling contract. There's no yearly lock-in and no need to cancel. Simply pause your membership any time with a single click, and reactivate when you're ready for work again. Pay only when you need the platform.
Built for Businesses Too
Hard Hat Tradie isn't just for individual workers—it's also a powerful tool for construction companies, project managers and hiring teams.
Sign up as a business and you can:
-
Search and find verified tradies and subcontractors at any time
-
Message workers directly through the in-app chat system
-
Create and save lists of workers for future projects
-
Post job ads and receive interest from tradies in real time
-
Keep all hiring conversations in one place, instead of scattered across phones and emails
Whether you're filling one position or building an entire crew, Hard Hat Tradie makes the hiring process faster, clearer and easier to manage.
Why We Exist
The trade industry runs on skill, timing and trust—but it has always relied on outdated methods. Too many good workers stay unseen. Too many businesses waste time tracking down people instead of getting the job done. Hard Hat Tradie changes that by bringing the entire trade community into one connected platform, where opportunity moves as fast as the work does.
Our Story
Hard Hat Tradie was founded by two people who saw both sides of the industry: a veteran tradie who spent decades dealing with the same hiring and staffing challenges, and an enthusiastic DIYer who realised the trade world was missing the kind of technology other industries already relied on.
Together, they set out to build the platform that should have existed years ago—a place where workers can showcase their skills, businesses can find the right people, and the entire industry can communicate without barriers, delays or guesswork.
The Message Is Simple
Apprentice, labourer, or qualified pro. Contractor, subcontractor or business. Hard Hat Tradie has you covered.
