About Us:

JAC Civil started in 2009 in Maryborough, on the beautiful Fraser Coast, by two brothers with a passion for engineering and construction.  Their family has lived in the area for five generations so they have a strong local connection.  They are proud of their commitment to support their community through local employment and economic contribution.

Together the brothers have grown JAC Civil exponentially over 14 years to employ over 70 people who deliver a range of projects in our local community for numerous government and corporate clients.  We are the regions most trusted project delivery partner with a diverse of specialisations in civil and structural infrastructure construction, maintenance, renewal, managing bio-solids and quarrying.  To do this, we own and operate an extensive fleet of new and well-maintained plant and vehicles with inhouse servicing capabilities.

Our culture is underpinned by our passion for safety and enjoying the work we do for the community our families live within.  As a family-owned company, we value and get to know everyone’s families at a number of hosted gatherings where we connect, relax and celebrate our collective achievements.
