- Downer EDI: Integrated rail services and infrastructure contractor in Australia/NZ, both a collaborator (NIF Blue Mountains works) and direct competitor on track, OHW, and signalling packages for Sydney Trains, KiwiRail, and other operators.
- McConnell Dowell: Australasian civil and rail contractor that has partnered with Martinus on the $440M Murray Basin Rail JV and competes on major rail corridors. Closely comparable project delivery model and equipment-led approach.

- Fulton Hogan: Australia/NZ infrastructure contractor with significant rail construction and maintenance capability. Closely comparable in scope, equipment-led delivery, and customer base of government rail authorities.
Broad incumbents
- CPB Contractors (CIMIC Group): Tier-one Australian construction contractor within the CIMIC/ACS group delivering large rail, road, and civil projects. Provides an incumbent benchmark against which Martinus competes on mega-projects such as Sydney Metro and Inland Rail.
- Balfour Beatty Rail: Global rail delivery and maintenance contractor with UK and US operations. Relevant comparable for Martinus's stated ambitions in the US freight-rail market and for international expansion benchmarking.
