Remote Infrastructure Group
Who you're working with

Consultants give opinions. Practitioners give answers.

RIG wasn't built by consultants who study government roadwork. It was founded by a practitioner who has managed $133M+ of DRFA and government road reconstruction, and who wrote the methodologies and ran the programs that kept those projects paid.

Heath Jones’s defining test came in far north Queensland: two programs managed simultaneously, two thousand kilometres apart.

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.

$0M + $16M

Two programs, 2,000km apart

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.

$0.0B

Coffs Harbour Bypass

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.

$0M+ · CCF 2025

Gympie DRFA Package 3

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 Lead

Rhys Jones

Rhys founded A1 Agency, a content and marketing business running since 2017, and worked brand marketing at Red Bull Australia across national activations including Formula 1, Cliff Dive and Flugtag. He makes capability visible, and he’s been on the ground when it gets delivered.

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.

Project Engineer

Finn Brack

Finn is a civil engineer with delivery experience across private consultancy and local government in NSW and Queensland, covering the full project lifecycle from fee proposals and contract formulation through design coordination to construction phase inspection. His background spans emergency structural remediation of operating industrial facilities, marine and coastal structures, a national telecommunications rollout and municipal roadworks.

He is deeply versed in the Queensland planning and approvals framework, which keeps approvals off the critical path rather than on it. At RIG he holds the project engineer function across concurrent contracts: cost and production tracking, program updates, quality assurance and lot management, and weekly reporting to council and client.

Superintendent

Shaun Woodhouse

Shaun has 30 years in civil construction, from plant operator through leading hand, foreman and general foreman to superintendent, across the Pacific Highway upgrade program, Grafton Bridge and the $2.2B Coffs Harbour Bypass. That progression gives him direct working knowledge of every trade he now supervises: earthworks, drainage, pavements, asphalt, structures and finishing works.

His specialisation is bulk earthworks, backed by flood recovery and landslip remediation delivery. At RIG he runs site superintendence on client projects, currently superintending dam construction works in north-west Queensland.
