Step 1

We review you personally, not algorithmically

Submit your CV and we read it. Every profile is reviewed by a consultant, not filtered by software. If there's a fit right now, you'll hear from us within two business days.

Step 2

You'll speak to a specialist, not a switchboard

The consultant who calls you works in your sector. They know the clients, the salaries, and the market — in Australia, PNG, or both. This is a real conversation, not a tick-box screening call.

Step 3

We prepare you, not just present you

Before any interview, we brief you fully — role context, client culture, salary positioning, and what the hiring manager actually cares about. For PNG roles, we'll walk you through what life on the ground genuinely looks like.

Step 4

We stay after the placement, not just through it

Most recruiters disappear once you start. We check in through your probation period because a placement that works long-term is the only kind worth making.

Relocating to PNG — our Australia team has done this before.

Papua New Guinea is one of the most dynamic and genuinely rewarding markets in the Pacific. The career opportunities — in mining, energy, banking, infrastructure, and government — can accelerate a career in ways a domestic role rarely can. The packages reflect that. So does the experience.

Our Brisbane and Gold Coast teams have been supporting international relocations into PNG for over a decade. We source candidates globally — South Africa, the Philippines, Asia, Europe, India — and manage the full process from first conversation to boots on the ground in Port Moresby. Our PNG team is there when you arrive, not managing your transition from a Sydney desk.

Most of our expat candidates come through our talent network — roles that never reach job boards. Registering with us means those conversations happen with you, not around you.

What we help expat candidates navigate

Work permit and visa applications, renewals, and dependent visas for relocating families
Entry permits and PNG Immigration Authority liaison — handled in-country, not remotely
Relocation orientation and cultural briefing before you arrive
Honest guidance on package structures, housing, FIFO rosters, and hardship allowances
On-the-ground support from our Port Moresby team throughout your placement

Building your career in PNG? We work with the organisations building the country

We place PNG nationals in executive, professional, and specialist roles across banking, financial services, government, ICT, infrastructure, mining, and more. We work with the organisations investing in PNG's long-term future — and we take seriously our responsibility to connect ambitious PNG nationals with the opportunities they've earned.

We know the local market. We understand what employers are looking for, what the salary benchmarks actually are, and where the genuine career pathways exist — from graduate entry through to executive leadership. Our Port Moresby team lives and works in this market every day.

If you're entering the workforce, ready for your next move, or looking for a confidential conversation about what's available at a senior level — we want to hear from you.

What we offer PNG national candidates

Direct access to roles that aren't publicly advertised — we go to our database first
Career coaching and honest guidance on your positioning in the current market
Interview preparation and salary benchmarking based on real PNG market data
A consultant based in Port Moresby who understands the local context
Long-term career partnership — we stay with you through probation and beyond

Looking for specialist roles in Australia?

Our Brisbane and Gold Coast teams recruit across some of Australia's most active sectors — engineering, mining and resources, infrastructure, construction, energy, financial services, and ICT. We work with clients who operate nationally and with organisations whose projects span both Australia and PNG, which means our Australian candidates often move between both markets as their careers develop.   

We don't recruit broadly and hope something sticks. We recruit in the sectors we know deeply, with an 18-year candidate database and industry relationships that most job boards can't reach. Many of our roles are never publicly advertised — they go to candidates we already know. Whether you're a mid-career engineer in Brisbane, a mining specialist in Queensland, or an experienced professional considering your options across the Pacific region — the conversation starts here.  

Sectors we cover in Australia

Engineering — civil, structural, mechanical, process
Mining and Resources
Infrastructure and Construction
Energy and Oil and Gas
Environmental and Geotechnical
Financial Services and Banking
ICT and Telecommunications
Government and Public Sector

Peopleconnexion did a fantastic job of helping me land a role that suits me perfectly.

Charlotte was very professional throughout the process and kept me engaged the whole time. I felt my best interests were always kept as the top priority throughout the recruitment process which I appreciate a lot.

Senior Civil Engineer Placement

I had a fantastic experience working with Peopleconnexion.

My consultant kept me updated throughout the entire recruitment process and were always transparent about every step along the way. After I started my new role, my consultant called me to check-in on how things are going. I highly recommend Peopleconnexion to anyone looking for a dedicated and trustworthy recruiter to assist them in their job search.
