You need to speak Chinese to qualify for this labouring job in Geraldton

A local resident spotted this curious labouring job ad on Gum Tree recently.  

The job requires someone who can "lift heavy things".  

But what made eyebrows raise was the need to also speak Chinese.  

At a building site.  

In Geraldton.  

Western Australia. 

The job was also listed on Indeed. 

No explanation was provided why the need to speak Chinese, and we were curious as to why this was a requirement. 

We reached out to Herald Build and have not received a response.  

Other Geraldton based jobs advertised by Herald Build did not include a requirement to speak Chinese. 

Herald Build are based on Newcastle Street in Perth. We will update this if they respond to our enquiry.
