About Vanguard

Your trusted partner for expert fitters, electricians, and turnkey shutdown solutions.

Vanguard was started in Kwinana in 2009 by two maintenance fitters who had spent a decade on other people’s shutdowns. Today we supply trade-qualified crews to alumina refineries, cement works, grain terminals and mineral processors across Western Australia.

How we work

The plant comes back online safely, on time, and documented.

Safety before schedule

Every crew member is site-inducted before mobilisation. We run our own permit and isolation checks alongside yours, and our safety management system is certified to ISO 45001.

Crews that fit your team

We match fitters and electricians to your equipment and your procedures, so they work under your supervisors from the first shift without a learning curve.

One point of accountability

A single Vanguard supervisor owns your job from staging to commissioning, and hands over a complete close-out pack with work orders, test sheets and photos.
