Our Story
Yamdel was born from a shared vision between Kelly and Nicholas Pearson: to transform the way Defence and infrastructure projects deliver value—not just for clients, but for communities and future generations. With decades of combined experience across Tier 1 operations, Defence, strategic advisory, and Indigenous engagement, they saw an opportunity to bridge the gap between technical excellence and social responsibility.
From the beginning, Yamdel has stood for more than project delivery. We stand for integrity, impact, and innovation. Our founders believed that infrastructure should do more than connect places—it should connect people, create opportunities, and embed cultural respect at its core.
Today, Yamdel combines strategic managed services with hands-on operational capability, offering clients a partner who understands the complexity of large-or small-scale projects and the importance of authentic engagement. By integrating ESG principles, Indigenous participation, and digital enablement into every solution, we help clients achieve compliance, strengthen reputation, and deliver measurable social and economic outcomes.
Our Mission
At Yamdel, our mission is to deliver infrastructure solutions that create lasting impact—socially, culturally, and economically. We exist to redefine project success by combining extensive Defence and Tier 1 operational excellence with authentic Indigenous engagement, ESG leadership, and strategic innovation.
We strive to be the Indigenous partner of choice for Australia’s Defence and infrastructure sector—trusted for our integrity, respected for our cultural knowledge, and valued for our ability to embed inclusion and sustainability into every stage of delivery. Through collaboration, transparency, and a relentless focus on outcomes, we empower clients to achieve compliance, strengthen reputation, and leave a legacy that matters.
