For over 60 years, Leighton Contractors has delivered projects to governments, major corporations and other clients across Australia. Our specialist skills in complex infrastructure, communications infrastructure, contract mining, and operations and maintenance delivery, teamed with our traditional business of building and civil contracting means Leighton Contractors is one of the most diverse and experienced contracting companies in the country.

But, what makes Leighton Contractors stand out is its people. Our engineers, tradespeople and support staff are some of the best in the business. They work incredibly hard in an environment where personal responsibility and opportunity are corner stones of our management approach.

Our people, backed by well-tested systems and processes drive our performance.

Throughout our history, the keys to our continued success have always been our ability to re-invent ourselves, to keep innovating and the continual delivery of ground-breaking projects.
