Our growing team specialises in Federal Government, Defence and Infrastructure Advisory. We love big picture strategy, yet are equally at home in detail. To deliver project outcomes, we support our clients throughout Capability and Infrastructure Life-Cycles:

• Establishment of strategy and concepts

• Risk reduction and requirement setting

• Acquisition, introduction into service, management and sustainment

• Withdrawal and disposal

We provide services across a range of disciplines, such as Capability Design, Development, Integration, Test and Evaluation, Procurement, Certification and Integrated logistics Support. We are experts in feasibility assessment, business case development, stakeholder engagement, strategic communications, Government approvals, complex procurement, cost modelling, scheduling, governance and risk management. We have a proven delivery record across Defence, Infrastructure and all tiers of Government, and private industry. 

• "Above the line" we partner with Federal, State and Local Governments, and act on their behalf to deliver projects and capability for Australians.

We pride ourselves on our culture; and before everything else - we are looking for committed people with character and drive. First and foremost, Forge is a team, and we are looking for team players. We laugh, enjoy our work and are humble and collaborative. We always act with integrity. We embrace diversity and we respect each other.

How do we work?

We work flexibly to deliver the best possible outcomes for our Clients, for our Team and for our communities. We work with a high degree of autonomy and limited supervision, and get the job done without being chased. We operate in uncertainty, and are self-starters. We "connect-dots" and share information openly and follow-through to completion. We support each other, and roll-up our sleeves to help the team succeed. We also have a few rough edges - we are growing and so not everything is perfect. Our team is shaping and developing our future together.  Through this approach - we contribute to Australia as a Nation.
