J&R Synergy

J&R Synergy is a construction recruitment company that supplies both blue-collar and white-collar workers. It built its business on electrical trades, where electricians are its core strength, and has since widened its work to carpenters, trade assistants and other general construction trades. It also fills permanent roles such as site managers, project managers, engineers, safety officers and estimators.

The company serves contractors, project managers and construction businesses on commercial, industrial, infrastructure, mining and renewables projects. It says it is not a labour hire provider and that it learns a client's project pipeline and trade requirements before putting anyone forward, rather than sending bulk CVs. Its work ranges from short-term project support to permanent placements, alongside workforce planning aligned to a client's pipeline.

J&R Synergy operates in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria and is based in Upper Coomera, Queensland. It is led by directors Jack Tonges and Ricardo Dougherty, who are from Melbourne and Brisbane. The company says its team has over 16 years of combined expertise in construction, engineering and rigging.
