Building New Zealand's Industrial & Commercial Workforce Network

Arcla is New Zealand's industrial and commercial workforce platform. It connects skilled workers — riggers, fitters, electricians, crane operators and more — with companies running shutdowns, builds and maintenance programmes across Aotearoa. Workers create a free basic profile and can choose Premium for richer presentation and manual review; companies post jobs and search the directory.

Worker Free is $0 and includes a basic publicly viewable profile, directory inclusion and link or QR sharing, subject to your privacy choices. Jobs and applications remain free. Worker Premium is planned at NZ$10/month + GST, billed monthly with no annual worker plan. It adds richer presentation, document uploads and manual review eligibility. Payments are not connected yet.

The first 30 eligible approved companies get 12 months of company access free, including job posting, worker search and messaging. No card is required and there are no automatic charges. Company verification is required. See Plans for availability and offer terms.

Arcla Passport is your digital work record. Free sharing opens your basic profile. Active Premium opens a richer Passport with your introduction and content you choose to publish, using the same link and QR code. Premium workers can also create a PDF by choosing sections and individual records, with an optional insurance-certificate copy. This is separate from downloading original uploaded files. See the worker plan comparison for the availability of saved PDF selections.

Premium members can upload qualifications, certificates and ID and request up to three manual review cases per New Zealand calendar month, including ID. Corrections to the same case do not use another allowance. Payment never grants verification. Badges require successful, valid reviews and active Premium. Free workers cannot upload new evidence or request review.

Your basic profile and QR link remain available according to your privacy choices. Premium presentation, Featured eligibility, new PDF exports and displayed verification badges stop. Stored information, original files and legitimate review history are retained and remain accessible to you. Copies of PDFs already downloaded cannot be withdrawn by changing your profile. New uploads and review requests require Premium. Renewing restores eligible presentation and badges supported by still-valid reviews.

Yes. Arcla supports multiple profiles under a single login. If you work as a contractor and also run a small company, you can switch between modes without logging out. Each profile is independent with its own dashboard, qualifications and job history.

Arcla is purpose-built for New Zealand's industrial and commercial sectors — including shutdowns, refinery maintenance, construction fit-outs, infrastructure projects, civil works and commercial builds. Supported trades include riggers, mechanical fitters, crane operators, rope access technicians, electricians, boilermakers, scaffolders, welders, pipefitters and more.

Your profile visibility and individual sharing choices control what others see. ID files and original certificates are never published on a public profile. Owners and authorized reviewers can access the relevant private originals; eligible companies may access qualification evidence through an authorized hiring relationship. Public links may be forwarded.

Companies register, post a detailed job listing and search the worker directory, which includes reviewed and unreviewed profiles. You can filter by trade, region, availability and qualification status, then invite workers directly or review applications. Arcla Passport profiles show the information each worker chooses to share — verification status, work history, tickets and expiry dates — before anyone sets foot on site.
