You need to do an OH&S course..Occupational Health and Safety course, and also be a member of the union before being allowed on site.
Construction has slowed down, many workers in NSW have been layed off.

By and large you won’t get a job as an excavator driver whilst on a working holiday visa. These visa’s are designed for “young people” to visit our country and finance themselves whilst here by “lightweight” temporary employment. It is not a career move.
Employers recognise this fact and are not, entirely realistically, interested in employing WHV people in employment such as this – particularly in today’s economic climate.
Re-evaluate your motives for coming here on a WHV before continuing.
