What Tactical Group does

Tactical Group (legal entity Tactical Project Management Pty Ltd) is a privately held Australian project management and advisory firm founded in 2011, specialising in infrastructure and property projects across Australia and New Zealand. The firm operates an Integrated Project Delivery Model that spans the full project lifecycle — from project origination, feasibility, and strategic master-planning, through procurement, transaction management, and programme development, to project and programme management, superintendency, contract administration, and specialist services such as distressed-project intervention. Service delivery is organised across five sectors: Transport, Property, Energy & Utilities, Land & Urban Development, and Social Infrastructure.

The company is owner-led, with Directors (co-founders Richard Campbell and Steve Ryan in Australia; Jordan Reynolds and, post-2024, Tristan Lees-Baker in New Zealand) remaining directly accountable at the project level. Headcount is described as 60+ experts, supported by offices in North Sydney (headquarters), Brisbane, Newcastle, Melbourne, and Auckland. The firm's claimed track record includes over $20 billion in successfully delivered public and private projects, and it was recognised as Best Project Management Firm (under $30M revenue) at the 2023 Client Choice Awards.

The business model is fee-based professional services: revenue is generated through consulting and delivery engagements on a quote/engagement basis with government agencies (e.g., KiwiRail, NZTA, Auckland Light Rail, Hamilton City Council), institutional property investors (e.g., Charter Hall, Dexus, ESR, Hale Capital, Logos), and corporate owners (e.g., Woolworths, Pro-Invest, Accor, Qube, Transurban). Go-to-market is direct and relationship-led, reinforced by industry affiliations with the Australian Institute of Project Management, Property Council of Australia (Gold Member), Infrastructure New Zealand, and the Auckland Business Chamber. The Connect Infrastructure merger in early 2024 extended NZ civil-infrastructure capability.
