Leading Global partner in innovative trusted engineering and assurance solutions

JVAT started with a simple but bold idea: challenge the status quo.
Our founders saw first-hand how traditional engineering and assurance approaches could hold progress back. They believed there was a better way – one that delivered outcomes without the bureaucracy.
From day one, we built JVAT on trust, transparency and innovation. This mindset lets us move fast, solve complex problems with clarity and flex with the needs of our clients – whether they are shaping strategy or navigating commercialisation of innovative project.
We are proud to be different. Proud to be the partner that cuts through complexity, unlocks capability and delivers real results.
That belief has taken us across Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States – and it still drives us every day.
