Our history
Built from the Ground Up
Red Dust Holdings was founded by Josh and Tanya, bringing together their expertise in mining, civil construction, administration and safety. Starting in the Pilbara, the business initially supplied skilled Heavy Diesel Mechanics to mining and civil projects across regional Western Australia.
RDH purchased its first heavy vehicle asset, FLOAT01, marking the transition from labour hire into plant and equipment services and laying the foundation for future fleet growth.
Established as a trusted contractor across regional Western Australia, operating 25 company-owned assets on long-term civil projects with a further 10 cross-hired to meet client demand.
Achieved third-party certification to ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 45001 (Safety) and ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), enabling RDH to pursue larger projects and government work.
Grew to more than $20 million in fleet assets, three commercial properties and a workforce of 90 to 120 employees, and achieved Main Roads WA R2/B1 prequalification.
Secured its first mining services contract, delivering tailings storage facility, aerodrome and plant earthworks at the ABRA Mine in the Gascoyne.
Continued expansion into mining with major contracts at Golden Grove, Fortescue and Norton Gold Fields, growing to around 200 employees across Geraldton, Perth, Kalgoorlie and project sites.
Invested in a new ERP system, purchased land on Edward Road and commenced construction of a larger purpose-built facility. RDH now operates and maintains more than 300 assets.
From humble beginnings in the Pilbara, RDH has evolved into a leading Western Australian civil, mining, haulage and plant hire contractor, with its core values unchanged.
