Founded by Jack Kenneth Williams in 1958, leaving full time work, Jack packed up his family headed to Penrith, this was the begining of JK Williams. Jack’s reputation for hard work, looking after his people and being a ethical and moral civil contractor is still embeded in the core of JK Williams.
With a growing reputation for excellence, resourcefulness and responsiveness is no accident, it is a natural consequence of the values that have guided our company. Our energetic enthusiasm for what we do and our commitment to our clients, our respected employees and our industry distinguishes us from our competition.
More than 65 years later JK Williams is a thriving family-owned civil contractor, employingover 250 people across both New South Wales and Queensland. Our team includes well experienced professionals and a field of construction personnel who are all collectively focused on one thing; that the service provided by each in their own way exceeds the expectations of the client.
Our legacy is that long after we have completed a project, the memory of who we are and what we stand for shall remain.


Innovation and culture management makes JK Williams the employer of choice. Providing flexibility, diversity and employee enrichment programs is as natural to JKW as moving earth, and taking care of our people is as important as looking after our clients – Our people know that.
We believe there is no better proof of a promise for excellence than a project that demonstrates the integrity of its contractor and its people. What we do for a living is not especially unique. What is unique is our commitment to honesty, decency, concern, timeliness and craftsmanship.
Underpinning our past traditions and acting as the drivers for our future direction are the company’s core values;
These values represent where we have been, where we are today and where we want to be in the future.
There are certain things that become synonymous with an area. For Penrith, at the foot of the Blue Mountains, it must be JK Williams.
