Jobs in Sydney

Our Sydney page displays all roles currently available in the Greater Sydney region, including the CBD, North Sydney, Parramatta, Western Sydney, and surrounding areas. Some listings may show multiple work locations or be advertised nationally with a Sydney option available. Occasionally a role is listed as remote but operationally based in Sydney. If the work location matters to you, check the job description directly — we specify whether each role is site-based, hybrid, or fully remote, and in which suburb or precinct.

Sydney’s job market spans a wide range of sectors and disciplines. In accounting and finance, we place finance officers, payroll specialists, economists, and senior accountants with corporate, government, and financial services clients across the CBD and Parramatta. In IT and digital, roles include business analysts, data analysts, service designers, and project coordinators, primarily with technology and financial services firms in North Sydney and Macquarie Park. Government and policy roles — including policy officers, project managers, and HR specialists — are available through NSW state agencies, federal departments, and local councils. In Western Sydney, we place pick-and-pack operators, warehouse coordinators, logistics administrators, and production workers with major distribution and food processing clients. Office support, HR, executive, and customer service roles round out the mix across all precincts.

Finance and professional services is Sydney’s dominant private sector employer — banking, insurance, legal, and accounting firms are consistently active, particularly in the CBD and Barangaroo. Government is Sydney’s other major employer, with state and federal agencies providing consistent demand for administration, policy, project management, and finance roles. Technology and digital, concentrated in Macquarie Park, North Sydney, and the CBD, is growing steadily. Western Sydney is Australia’s largest logistics and warehousing corridor, with major distribution centre operators and food processing companies running large, ongoing workforces. Construction and infrastructure is also active across the city, tied to metro, hospital, and road projects. Healthcare, NDIS support services, and education round out the longer-term demand.

Qualification requirements depend significantly on the sector. Office support and administration roles generally require demonstrated experience in a similar role, proficiency with Microsoft Office, and strong written communication skills — formal qualifications are often secondary to experience. Accounting and finance roles typically require a degree in accounting, finance, or economics, and CPA or CA progression is expected for senior positions. IT roles benefit from relevant certifications and demonstrated project or technical experience. Government roles, particularly at APS or NSW Public Service level, value tertiary qualifications and increasingly require demonstrated security clearance eligibility for some positions. Logistics and warehousing roles often require a forklift licence, and for larger distribution centre roles, prior experience on a pick-and-pack or warehouse floor is a practical requirement rather than a preference.

Sydney is a competitive market, so targeting your application to the specific role rather than submitting a generic resume makes a measurable difference. For finance and professional roles, quantify your outputs — systems managed, team sizes, budgets handled — rather than listing responsibilities. For government roles, structure your application around the selection criteria where provided; generic cover letters are screened out quickly. For Western Sydney logistics roles, having current tickets in place (forklift licence, white card) before applying avoids delays in placement. In all categories, registering your profile with our Sydney team means you’ll be considered for roles that come through our network before they’re publicly listed.

Yes. We recruit across all engagement types in Sydney. Full-time permanent roles are available across professional services, government, IT, and office support. Contract and fixed-term roles are common in government, finance, and IT — many NSW government projects run on 6–12 month contracts with renewal options. Temp and casual roles are available in office support, logistics, and manufacturing, and are a useful way to gain experience in a new sector or get started quickly if you’ve recently arrived in Sydney. Labour hire arrangements are also available for Western Sydney site and warehouse work.

Yes. NSW state government is one of Sydney’s largest employers, and we regularly recruit across departments, agencies, and statutory bodies. Common roles include policy officers, project and program managers, executive support officers, finance and payroll specialists, and HR business partners. Federal government roles are also available for candidates with existing clearances or eligibility. Government positions in NSW often move to offer quickly once shortlisted — having your profile registered means you’re positioned to move when a relevant role opens.
