Jobs in Melbourne right now

The Metro Tunnel is boring under the CBD. The Suburban Rail Loop is breaking ground across Melbourne's east. The West Gate Tunnel is reshaping freight through the inner west. Behind every mega-project are thousands of casual and short-term roles — labourers, concreters, steel fixers, plant operators — that need filling fast. Fast Jobs lists live shifts across the entire Greater Melbourne area, updated daily, with pay rates shown before you apply.

How it works

From signup to confirmed shift — the same day

A slab pour in Footscray starts at 6am and a concreter just called in sick. A fit-out foreman in Docklands needs an electrician on-site by 8. A civils contractor in Dandenong South is short two labourers for a Thursday dig. These aren't edge cases — they're Tuesday. Fast Jobs was designed around Melbourne's pace: instant alerts, one-tap applications, confirmations before most workers have finished their coffee.
