The Jordan Rail Story

• A proudly Australian, family-owned rail contractor
• Construction, maintenance and plant you can rely on
• One team from the workshop to the rail corridor

Every strong railway has a story behind it. This is ours — a family-built Australian rail business that plans, delivers and proves every job it takes on, from the first survey peg to the final handback.

A Family Built on Rail

• Family-owned and family-run
• Grown from hands-on rail work into a full-service contractor
• Directors who know the corridor, not just the boardroom
• One call reaches the people who make the decisions

Jordan Rail was built the old-fashioned way — by people who love the work and stand behind it. Family-owned and family-run, the business has grown from hands-on rail work into a full-service rail and civil contractor. The directors are on the tools and on the phones — when you deal with Jordan Rail, you deal with the people whose name is on the door.

The Values We Run On

• Safety first — no shortcuts, no exceptions
• Do what we say, when we say
• Look after people — our crews, clients and communities
• Leave the corridor better than we found it

Safety first, no shortcuts. If it isn't safe, it doesn't start. We do what we say — commitments made are commitments kept. We look after our people, our clients and the communities we work in, and we leave every corridor we touch in better shape than we found it.

What We Do

• Rail construction and track maintenance
• Hi-rail and civil plant & equipment
• Fabrication of rail and specialised equipment, customised to client and project requirements
• Wet and dry hire with accredited operators
• Turnkey projects managed by one accountable team

From track construction and maintenance to hi-rail and civil works, Jordan Rail delivers the full scope — with our own accredited plant, operators and crews. Wet hire, dry hire or complete turnkey projects: the job is resourced, managed, documented and finished by one accountable team. We also fabricate rail and specialised equipment, customised to meet each client's and project's requirements.

Specialist Rail Services

• Track construction, re-railing and rail recovery
• Ballast, drainage and civil works
• Piling, foundations and lifting operations
• Documented methodologies and network approvals

Track construction and re-railing, ballast and drainage works, piling and foundations, lifting and recovery, and the civil works that surround them. Our crews are equipped and inducted for specialist rail environments, with the methodology statements and approvals to prove how the work is done.

A Fleet That Answers Any Job

• Hi-rail excavators, loaders and backhoes
• Elevated work platforms and MEWPs
• Straddle carriers, rail tugs and heavy haulage
• Workshop-maintained, pre-mobilisation inspected, GPS-tracked

Hi-rail excavators, loaders, backhoes, MEWPs and elevated work platforms, straddle carriers, rail tugs and heavy haulage trucks — a modern fleet maintained in our own workshop, inspected before every mobilisation and GPS-tracked in real time, so the right machine is ready when the job needs it.

Heavy Haulage & Logistics

• Straddle carriers and rail tugs for rail movements
• Low-loader transport for plant and equipment
• Permits, pilot arrangements and escorts handled
• Chain-of-responsibility compliance by the book

Moving rail plant and oversized loads is its own discipline. Straddle carriers load and unload, rail tugs shift rolling stock, and our heavy haulage fleet moves machines to site with the permits, pilot arrangements and chain-of-responsibility compliance done right — first time, every time.

Our People Are the Story

• Fully inducted, RIW-accredited crews
• VOC-verified operators on every machine
• Supervisors who came up through the trade
• A culture of looking out for each other

Behind every machine is a crew that is fully inducted, RIW-accredited and verified competent on the plant they run. Our supervisors have come up through the trade, our operators know their machines, and everyone goes home the way they arrived. That culture is what clients notice first.

Safety Is the First Track

• SWMS and risk assessments before every job
• Pre-starts, pre-mobilisation checks and plant inspections
• Safety bulletins signed by every worker
• Hazards, near misses and incidents all tracked to close-out

Safety isn't a document at Jordan Rail — it's the way we start. Safe work method statements before every job, pre-starts and pre-mobilisation checks on every unit, and safety bulletins signed by every worker. Hazards are logged, risks are scored, and incidents — even near misses — are reported, investigated and learned from.

Cleared for the Corridor

• RIW roles mapped to each network and approved per worker
• Network and site inductions with signed records
• VOC assessments for every machine an operator runs
• Medicals and fitness-for-work records kept current

Before anyone steps onto the corridor, they're cleared. Rail Industry Worker roles mapped to each network's requirements, network and site inductions completed and signed, verification of competency per machine, medicals and drug-and-alcohol records kept current. Clearance is a checkable status, not a folder of paper.

Innovation On and Off the Rails

• JR Matrix — our own purpose-built operating platform
• Live scheduling, compliance and fleet data in real time
• AI-assisted specifications and tender documents
• Audit-ready records on every job

Rather than squeeze our operations into someone else's software, we built our own — JR Matrix. Scheduling, fleet, compliance, procurement, inspections and reporting run live in one connected platform, with AI-assisted specification and tendering documents generated straight from our data. Every decision is made on real-time information.

Every Job, On the Record

• Branded, traceable documentation on every job
• Compliance registers kept current automatically
• Work diaries, inspections and repairs all on file
• Reports clients and auditors can trust

When Jordan Rail commits to a scope, every step is documented, compliant and delivered to standard. Inspections, inductions, specifications, work diaries and repair records are branded, traceable and available to clients and auditors on request — evidence, not assurances.

Respecting the Corridor

• Environmental management system governing our works
• Water usage logged and reported to authorities
• Fuel usage imported, analysed and reported for BAS fuel tax credits
• Fleet sustainability tracked and measured
• Crews trained to prevent and contain environmental incidents

We work in some of Australia's most sensitive corridors, so environmental management is built into how we plan. An environmental management system governs our work, water usage is logged and reported, sustainability is measured across the fleet, and our crews are trained to prevent, contain and report incidents before they become problems.

Work We're Proud Of

• Trusted by network operators and principal contractors
• Repeat clients and long-standing relationships
• Plant that arrives verified, fuelled and compliant
• A name that stands behind every job

Jordan Rail delivers for network operators, principal contractors and private clients alike — and the best measure of that work is who keeps calling us back. Repeat clients, long-standing relationships and a fleet that turns up ready: that's the track record we're building on.

Looking Down the Line

• Growing fleet and capabilities
• Committed to stronger, safer railways
• Ready for the next chapter of Australian rail

The fleet keeps growing, the capabilities keep expanding, and the commitment never changes — stronger, safer railways, delivered by people who care. That is the Jordan Rail story so far, and the best chapters are still ahead.
