OMPS PTY LTD is conducting a market evaluation to identify and engage qualified local and regional businesses for the provision of Labour Hire and Recruitment Services for the Oven Mountain Pumped Hydro Energy Storage Project in New South Wales. This project, developed by Alinta Energy, involves the construction of a 900 MW hydro-electric facility near the Macleay River, designed to support the decarbonisation of the National Electricity Market.

The scope of this work package encompasses the recruitment and supply of personnel across various disciplines, including Structural Mechanical Piping (SMP), Electrical and Instrumentation (E&I), and general construction trades. Furthermore, the project seeks providers capable of executive search, workforce management, and specialized social employment services, including support for Aboriginal employment and veteran outplacement.

Successful bidders must demonstrate the ability to manage the full recruitment lifecycle, including sourcing, pre-screening, and coordinating site-specific pre-clearance requirements such as medical, drug, and alcohol testing. Interested suppliers must possess an Australian Business Number (ABN) and maintain an active company profile on the Gateway by ICN platform to submit an Expression of Interest. This procurement process is part of a preliminary assessment of market capabilities to support the project's five-year construction schedule.
