Your Partner For People

Connecting Industry with Specialist Talent – Rail, Defence, Mining, Manufacturing & Heavy Industries

What We Do

We connect Australia’s rail and heavy industries with exceptional people, from company leaders to hands-on experts.

Heaton Rail was founded in 2016 to support the nation’s leading rail companies. As demand grew, client referrals and requests saw us expand into defence, mining, manufacturing, infrastructure, and other heavy industries where critical projects and operations depend on highly skilled talent.

Today, we provide consultants, contractors, and recruitment services that keep essential operations moving. Our focus spans engineering, management, technical, project, and operational roles.

With strong engineering and management backgrounds, our team understands industry challenges and speaks your language. That technical insight combined with deep networks, robust processes, and market-leading technology means we deliver high-calibre talent faster than conventional recruitment methods.
