We’re excited to welcome Jarryd Hutchinson to the team as our new Operations Manager at APU Excavations & Rentals. Jarryd brings years of experience in earthmoving operations, project coordination, and resource management—and he’s already making a big impact on how we deliver services across Southeast Queensland.
At APU, we’re proud to support a wide range of projects, with a strong focus on industrial, civil, and commercial work. Whether it’s large-scale infrastructure or ongoing site support, our experienced operators and reliable fleet are ready to get the job done safely, efficiently, and on schedule.
We also provide dry hire equipment for domestic and residential projects, giving homeowners and small contractors access to mini excavators and other machinery for backyard digs, trenching, and site prep—without needing a full crew.
One of our fastest-growing services is vacuum excavation, especially for jobs that require non-destructive digging around underground assets and sensitive infrastructure. With our Vac Trucks and expert operators on the ground—and Jarryd now leading operations—our clients can expect even greater coordination, responsiveness, and support across Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Ipswich.
A Background Built on Leadership and Allocations
“I have worked in the earthmoving industry for over 10 years. I have worked as an Allocator, Lead Allocator, Allocations Supervisor as well as an Allocations Manager.”
Jarryd’s background in allocations and team leadership is a huge asset to APU. He understands what it takes to manage machinery, operators, and scheduling under pressure—and he knows how to keep things moving, even on the busiest days. Whether it’s tight-access mini excavators or major site work, Jarryd’s coordination helps us deliver smooth, efficient hire services across the board.
Project Management is His Strength
“Managing major projects and overseeing their allocations has always been a highlight of my career. I thrive in the high levels of engagement and responsibility that come with such projects.”
From local construction sites to large-scale infrastructure jobs, Jarryd knows how to keep schedules, resources, and communication aligned. His calm approach and eye for detail mean our clients can rely on APU to stay responsive, professional, and on time—no matter the scope of the project.
Guided by Clear Values
“My decision making is guided by the goals I need to accomplish. In line with my values, I prioritise both customer and employee satisfaction. I am dedicated to ensuring that all stakeholders are satisfied with our service and recognise the value of working with APU.”
At APU, we share those same values. We’re focused not just on sending machines and vac trucks to the site, but on building strong relationships with every customer. Safety, service, and consistent communication are at the heart of how we work, and Jarryd’s leadership only reinforces that.
Why Jarryd Joined Team APU
“I was drawn to the team as I was seeking a change, new challenges and opportunities.”
Jarryd saw APU as a place where he could bring his experience to the table, take on new challenges, and help grow something great. His energy and drive are a perfect match for our team culture—where everyone pulls together and takes pride in getting the job done right.
Vision for a Bigger, Stronger APU
“My vision is to uphold the exceptional customer service and operations that APU currently offers. I aim to support APU’s growth into a larger operation, ensuring our delivery model continues to be consistent, dependable, and aligned with the values that our customers expect.”
That vision is already coming to life. With Jarryd helping lead the way, we’re not just adding machines to the fleet—we’re strengthening how we work behind the scenes. From improved scheduling to smoother project coordination, APU is scaling up without compromising on the quality and service our clients know us for.
Passion for Equipment and the People Behind It
“I have always been fascinated by the different types of equipment that is used within the industry as well as the capabilities of the operators.”
For Jarryd, it’s not just about machinery—it’s about the people who make it all work. From vacuum trucks to excavators, he values the skill, teamwork, and dedication it takes to complete each job thanks to APU operators. That appreciation is exactly what makes him such a strong fit for Team APU.
A Balanced Life Outside the Office
“I enjoy travelling, motorsports and spending quality time with friends and family.”
Jarryd’s grounded and approachable personality brings a fresh vibe to our team. When he’s not on-site or coordinating our fleet, he’s out exploring or spending time with those who matter most. We know our clients will enjoy working with him just as much as we do.
Customer Satisfaction as a Standard
“Building strong rapport and maintaining clear communication helps create a solid foundation with clients. I also strive to engage customers with enthusiasm, as it makes the experience more engaging for them.”
At APU, we believe great service starts with great relationships. With Jarryd now helping drive our operations forward, we’re doubling down on clear, proactive communication—and ensuring every customer feels supported from first contact to project completion.
