WHO WE ARE & WHAT WE DO

Giles Contracting is a 100 percent Aboriginal owned and operated civil support services business delivering reliable, high quality solutions across the Kimberley region of Western Australia.

We support civil, infrastructure, and mining projects through traffic management, heavy diesel plant hire, and skilled Aboriginal plant operators. Our work is grounded in strong regional knowledge, proven operational capability, and a deep respect for working on Country.

With over 40 years of combined industry experience across our leadership and workforce, Giles Contracting is trusted by government bodies, Tier 1 contractors, and regional organisations to deliver safe, efficient, and accountable civil support services.

OUR STORY & CONNECTION TO COUNTRY

Built on Country, Guided by Community

Giles Contracting was established to create meaningful, long term opportunities for Aboriginal people in the Kimberley while delivering professional civil support services to industry.

Based in Fitzroy Crossing, our business operates with a strong connection to Country, community, and cultural responsibility. We understand that working on Aboriginal land carries obligations beyond technical delivery, including respect for Traditional Owners, cultural protocols, and local relationships.

By employing a majority Aboriginal workforce and prioritising local engagement, we ensure that the benefits of regional projects flow back into the communities where the work takes place, supporting economic participation, skills development, and long term sustainability.
