Testimonials
Candidate Feedback
Troy Johnston, Road Train Driver
I have been working for MCR/ Nicky for 7 months. Nicky has been one the best bosses I’ve worked for.
Everything I’ve asked of Nicky; it has been done straight away. The contacting from Nicky to myself to make sure everything is going ok, or ask if I need anything was awesome, never felt like I was put on a site and that was it.
The pay was in the bank on time every time, never an issue, plus super was paid, no issues, and I was paid a good rate as well.
Nicky is an awesome person plus a great boss, I couldn’t highly recommend Nicky enough or thank her for everything she does, not looking forward to the day it finishes.
Nicky Nield/ MCR thank you.
Aaron "Eddie" Bengston, Road Train Operator
I am from New Zealand and applied for an FIFO job opportunity as advertised by MCRWA.
Within a few days I received a call from Nicky, the prompt response was very much appreciated. After confirming my interest, Nicky informed me she was recruiting for a well established and reputable Transport company in Western Australia.
The ‘Job description’ and required documentation package Nicky had compiled and send me was very detailed and helpful, especially the checklist. If I encountered any problems or concerns she emphasized ‘do not hesitate to make contact whether by email or a phone call’.
I have never been out of NZ, with Nicky’s professionalism, amicable attitude and excellent communication, the transition was definitely made easier for me.
From NZ to Australia and my trial period with MCRWA and the communication was very reassuring, I was offered and accepted a contract with her client.
I definitely recommend MCRWA to prospective clients, especially New Zealanders. I guarantee the opportunities are rewarding and you will not regret it. I will not hesitate to utilise Nicky’s services and assistance in the future. A huge thanks.
Hong H, Mobile Plant Operator
Since the day I’ve found a job ad on Facebook I have met the most friendliest recruitment agent I’ve ever met – Nicola Nield, CEO of MCRWA.
Nicola was always making sure that I’m happy with the job that she appointed to me as mobile plant operator. I’ve been working for Nicola for the past 3 months and she has alway skeep in touch just to see how things moving along. Now the company I’m working for has offered me a full time position and I’m so grateful for everything she had done for me.
I would definitely recommend anyone looking for FIFO work to get contact with her. Thank you so much Nicola for the past 3 months, and all of your hard work. You’re the best.
R Bryan, Road Train Driver
When Covid hit, my job shut down and didn’t start back up properly so prompted me to find another role. I applied for a job advertised by Nicky not realising at the time that she ran an employment agency. After talking with her on the phone I agreed to give the advertised job a shot, because both my wife and I liked what we heard. This gave me my first chance at driving the quad road trains.
12 months on, I had had a year of really well paid work, she checked up on me regularly to make sure everything was going well. Nicky was always there if I needed anything concerning my job. Unfortunately, the company I worked for eventually lost the contract so now I am going through Nicky again to place me into another position.
I recommend her company as a professional employment agency to get you started because she will always be there to back you up for whatever issue may come up.
Rodney Carr, NZ Road Train Driver
Nicky has your back. The transition from NZ to Au with its admin hurdles is made so much easier with Nicky’s support. Simply apply and follow her instructions and when stuck, ask and she’ll help. Before you know it, you’re driving and looking forward to your first weekend off. A big bonus is the warmth and genuine smile that accompanies Nicky’s job.
Victor Harrison, NZ Truck Driver
I highly recommend Nicky and MCRWA if you’re ever looking to start career in WA. For me being my first time on Aussie soil, let alone working here, the transition has made that much easier with Nickys help and guidance – especially having to start right from scratch. She helped me step by step and always pointed me in the right direction.
Nicky was always nice and friendly and is very approachable which was always reassuring and always touched base with me, making sure I was happy and settled in my new job which I couldn’t be happier with.
So if you’re ever looking at starting a career here in WA don’t hesitate to call Nicky, she’ll take care of you without a doubt as she has done for me and many others.
Barry G, Mobile Plant Operator
This company is one of the best I’ve ever worked for. They always have work and pay good money.
Nicola is very helpful with all the processes in getting you onsite and drama free.
I highly recommend MCR if you’re looking for work.
Darrin Fulker, Road Train Operator
In the short time that I have been employed by Mining and Civil Recruitment WA, I have come to know and respect Nicky Nield. I also highly value her worth as a professional and as a person. I never had to guess where I stood or contemplate my own worth as an individual asset to her company.
In short I would recommend MCRWA and Nicky as founder/director for anyone wishing join the mining or civil industries through labour hire!
Also to any company that wishes to utilise labour hire, MCRWA is by far the easiest company I have had the pleasure of dealing with!
I wish Nicky all the best and would not hesitate to return if the situation demanded it.
Alistair Thorne, Dozer Operator
I have worked with Nicky over the past couple of years and have found her to be a genuine person who truly cares about people, not just in a business situation, but on a personal level as well.
Nicky is a tireless worker and will do anything in her power to help with any issue that may arise.
I highly recommend Nicky to anyone looking for a recruiting agent and look forward to working with her in the future.
B Clinch, Aboriginal Civil Operator
Nicky is a very kind, thoughtful person who really goes out of her way to help you, the type of person who never gives up on you, until she finds what you want in the employment sector.
Mick McKenna, Road Train Operator
Since my first contact with Nicola (Nicky), she has been the best boss I have had, with regular checks on how things are going and if there is anything she could help with to make it better.
I would highly recommend her to any clients looking for a boss that actually cares about how their staff are doing and will definitely be behind you.

We at Jamieson Transport have worked with Nicky for 2 years in her role as driver recruitment. I have found Nicky to be down to earth and very approachable.
She listens to our needs and has supplied us with some top-notch operators. She will go that “Extra Mile” to ensure that we are totally satisfied, and always follows up with the drivers to ensure that they are happy with their placement.
I trust Nicky to find operators that suit our needs and wouldn’t hesitate recommending Mining & Civil Recruitment to anyone looking for operators in the Mining and Trucking Industries.
