Veterans | BGIS APAC

BGIS proudly supports the Australian Government Department of Defence and our Defence Industries clients, BAE Systems and BAE JORN with a comprehensive range of facilities management, asset management, project and construction management and energy and sustainability solutions.

BGIS has been engaged as the Estate Managers for the Defence Northern New South Wales Estate Maintenance and Operations Services contract since 2014. The portfolio includes seven army, navy, air force and special forces bases at Singleton, Williamtown, Richmond, Liverpool and Sydney.

BGIS has been awarded the Department of Defence’s Base Services Contractor of the Year, for the past three consecutive years. The annual award is designed to recognise the contractor that has the highest commitment to customer service and support, has a demonstrated commitment to improved value for money and service delivery, is collaborative and demonstrates a customer-centric focus.

Commitment to veterans

As a result of our many years of service to the Australian Defence Force (ADF), BGIS attracts veterans and spouses, and many civilians with family connections to the military. We offer a range of job and career opportunities and the ability to transfer with posting cycles.
