Remote Infrastructure Group wasn't built by consultants who study government roadwork. It was founded by a practitioner with a career spanning $133M+ in DRFA and government road reconstruction, writing the methodologies, building the programs, and managing the relationships that kept those projects compliant and profitable.
Heath Jones has built his career delivering infrastructure programs where the margin for error is measured in days and dollars, not degrees. His defining test came in far north Queensland, where he managed two programs simultaneously, two thousand kilometres apart. It was a capability built over years, on some of the most demanding civil programs in the country.
Heath built RIG for the contractors who are too busy running jobs to win them properly, and too good at their work to keep losing on paper. From first submission to final claim, that’s the problem RIG solves.
A $42M road reconstruction (32km of new road in remote north-west Queensland) run in parallel with a $16M DRFA flood recovery spanning 7,500+ sites. Ten crews mobilised in under two weeks, over Christmas. Both delivered ahead of schedule and under budget.
Critical-path works on one of Australia's most politically scrutinised projects, at the intersection of TfNSW approvals, independent verification and fast-tracked pre-IFC construction, where every decision was on the record.
A $25M+ component of a $75M regional recovery program. Re-engineered design scopes to improve margin while accelerating delivery. Recognised with the CCF Queensland Earth Award in 2025. All three Superintendents remain active referees.
Construction Capability LeadRhys brings an unusual combination to RIG: he understands how capability gets communicated in competitive markets, and he’s been on the ground when it gets delivered. His background spans founding A1 Agency, a content and marketing business operating since 2017, and brand marketing at Red Bull Australia, where he contributed to large-scale national activations including Formula 1, Cliff Dive and Flugtag.
The other side of that came on site. As an operator in far north Queensland, Rhys worked inside the project environment that sits at the centre of RIG’s consulting work. At RIG, he leads commercial coordination and capability development, making sure the contractors RIG works with are presented to government clients the way their work actually deserves.
Heath's leadership was central to the project's success. He managed logistics, people, and production with clear direction, keeping a complex operation steady under pressure.
His proactive approach and clear communication were key to the project's success, subsequently recognised with a CCF Queensland Earth Award.
Alongside RIG, Heath is building Outpost, the system we run on. It runs civil tender work so every method, price and lesson is kept and reused, not lost the day you hit submit. Outpost runs as a separate company, currently in closed pilot.
