IronMerge Chairman Ian Taylor announced that the IronMerge workforce across the Pilbara had exceeded 70% Indigenous. “During the past few months, our clients have relied on IronMerge to fill their demand of blue and white collar roles, including trade assistants, HSEQ officers, supervisors, riggers and machine operators. As a certified member of RCSA we’ve become a trusted source of placing qualified candidates, safely and reliably, even in the middle of an acute labour shortage. Our people identify strongly with our values of Safely, Dignity, Humility and Home, allowing us grow a positive work culture and positive customer response”. Speaking upon the Indigenous employment mix, Ian said that “we are finding that Aboriginal women and men are drawn to the safer cultural space of IronMerge, identifying with our values and the mentoring we have in place. We aren’t limiting ourselves to placing Aboriginal people in jobs. We are placing Indigenous and non-Indigenous candidates alike – charting a strong path forward for the future, as the business continues scaling”.
