We provide experienced site construction teams who can perform a wide range of civil earthworks and mining services. Our teams are responsive and flexible, and are supported by the project management and engineering experience, knowledge and workforce.
This approach has seen us quickly become the trusted partner of resource companies working in the Eastern Pilbara, delivering reliable work and providing value for money.
We recognise our people are our most important resource. In order to build a committed, stable and positive workforce we focus on providing attractive career development opportunities, comprehensive training and culturally appropriate support.
Guma uses a training and development mentoring program developed to support our employees and to meet the needs of our clients. We seek to continually build on the skills of our employees, resulting in a workforce that is constantly progressing, developing and expanding.

INDIGENOUS ENGAGEMENT
Guma acknowledges and respects the culture and history of the Traditional Owners of the lands in which we operate and thanks them for the opportunity to work in their country.
Guma is committed to positive engagement and the participation of Indigenous people on all our projects. Our clients benefit from our effective and reliable civil and mining services, while also meeting obligations to engage local and Indigenous businesses and employees on their projects.
Guma is jointly owned by a Nyiyaparli Traditional Owner and is closely aligned with the Nyiyaparli people of the East Pilbara. This puts us in a unique position, with an unrivalled ability to liaise with local people, other Indigenous people and contracting groups as well as resource companies to create mutually beneficial relationships and deliver excellent project outcomes.
