List each role separately, including the number of skilled and non-skilled workers required. Mention certifications, tools or prior experience expected.
Provide location and duration
State the worksite, expected start date, shift pattern, project duration and whether accommodation or transportation is provided.
Clarify responsibilities
Explain supervision, attendance, safety induction, required documents and who will approve timesheets or completed work.
