Why Choose the Icon Group?
The Icon Group, an Australian construction conglomerate comprised of three major companies, Icon, Minicon, and Barpa, has over 800 employees and offices located across Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific with diverse opportunities across a broad range of sectors and regions.
