TBC on case by case basis, depending on seniority required, location, duration, timing and requirements. For relief services we will seek to minimise costs by leveraging our existing Queensland operational teams where possible.

Once travel restrictions are eased, we will also provide onsite support to mentor and train staff as well as troubleshoot, maintain onsite documentation and implement improvements.

All jobs are quoted on hourly rates.

Where a 12-month service agreement is entered into a 10 – 20% discount is applied on normal rates, depending on the volume of work. This provides great value for money, not only is the hourly rate cheaper, but due to our ongoing involvement it also takes less time to perform tasks.

Relief operators are provided on a weekly rate and this is determined using the award, travel and accommodation costs and a placement fee.

During this time of uncertainty, it is essential that processes and systems are up to date. To ensure that if key staff have a prolonged absence that relief staff can step in.

The service that Viridis offers supports operational staff to deliver safe drinking water.
