FRA to initiate massive recruitment drive

January 24, 2018 5:20 pm

The Fiji Roads Authority expects to recruit close to a hundred more staff in the coming months in addition to a restructure of a number of positions.

FRA CEO Jonathan Moore said their current staffing is insufficient and with more roadwork to be carried out, they need more hands on deck.

“We’re looking over the 12 months I would say, we’re going to double the size of the team and we’re also looking at a lot more work going ahead as well so we’re looking at a lot more work over the next 2 to 3 years and if we tried to do that amount of work with the team we have now, I think we’d have mass resignations because they are so stressed right now and I can’t allow that cause these are good guys.”

Moore adds their restructure will be focused on two areas, which is improving efficiency and increasing their capacity with more staff.
