Australia-wide and in the Pacific
Networks and partnerships
At Pensar, we believe in the creation of strategic partnerships to harness the combination of differing organisations’ strengths. We have successfully developed partnerships with organisations who have the expertise and skills to complement our own.
P2 Infrastructure is a partnership between Pensar and Palladium - two companies with Australian origins, strong connections to the Asia-Pacific Region, and longstanding traditions of collaboration and creating positive impact. P2 represents a unique combination of skills and capabilities – the unrivalled capacity to deliver critical community infrastructure throughout the Asia-Pacific.
Pensar in partnership with Twin View Turf and Pinata Farms is delivering the Wamuran Irrigation Scheme (WIS). Together the partners were able to tailor a solution with the end user in mind, ensuring what was proposed, designed, and now being constructed, meets the needs of growers and the client.
The team works
Our philosophy of consistently meeting expectations has created enduring relationships with some of Australia’s most valued infrastructure developers and operators. We take extreme pride in the diversity and quality of the projects we deliver. It is the breadth, depth and significance of our clients that has enabled us to establish and grow successfully for many years.
We offer innovative design thinking implemented by a team with unrivalled expertise to deliver ground-breaking critical infrastructure solutions.
In it for the long run
Pensar was established in Brisbane in 2000 by Managing Director Karl Yunker. As a company, we have the experience, extensive capabilities, and well-earned reputation for delivering quality outcomes. Our capabilities are drawn from the application of many years of experience, ensuring our clients’ peace of mind for current work, and their longevity into the future. At the end of 2022, Pensar joined RSK Australia.
The thing that sets us apart is our determined commitment and attitude of always improving. This culture encompasses our entire operation from the quality of our people and our project delivery, our approach to health, safety, and the environment, to each interaction with our clients, suppliers, and members of the community.
Maximising positive impact
At Pensar we take our responsibility to upholding the welfare of society seriously, both as part of our day-to-day decision-making process and as an organisational focus. We work hard to create positive outcomes for the people, places and communities that are influenced by our operations and our leadership team, managers and on-the-ground team consistently provide a proactive and visible commitment to environmental sustainability, safety and quality outcomes.
Pensar's Sustainability Committee
Our dedicated Sustainability Committee aims to implement and promote best practice solutions to enhance sustainability initiatives across our project sites and offices. The committee organises and drives regular activity across the company including plogging, sustainable procurement, rejuvenation projects, recycling, upcycling and supporting Ocean Crusaders.
WaterAid
In our everyday delivery we see the positive impact on communities of effective and efficient water infrastructure, particularly in regional and remote locations. As a silver member, Pensar is committed to supporting WaterAid in working towards providing water access for all. Through WaterAid, individuals and organisations help to combat the devastating impacts of water scarcity and poor sanitation, which disproportionately affect the most vulnerable populations. This support not only saves lives and prevents disease but also empowers communities, enabling children to attend school, women to pursue economic opportunities, and families to thrive.
The National Association of Women in Infrastructure (NAWIC)
At Pensar, we are passionate about the recruitment and diversity of women in construction. We are committed to mentoring the women in our organisation, as well as furthering their personal and professional networking opportunities. NAWIC has been at the forefront of empowering women in construction through education, networking, and professional development since its inception in 1953. By supporting NAWIC, individuals and organisations contribute to creating a more equitable work environment.
Supporting Communities
Pensar actively supports and invests in social and not for profit initiatives and organisations within the communities that we work in. From working bees at the local sporting club or school to regenerating shared green spaces and sponsoring regional community events, Pensar is passionate about making a difference.
