Who we are, what we do
Sensat is a visualisation platform enabling better collaboration and decision-making for all project teams involved. By collecting and delivering infrastructure data, our platform translates the real world into a digital version. We unlock the programme information that matters and put it into the hands of those that need it.
Sensat is helping to create a new experience within Infrastructure delivery where teams can align around constraints, make more confident decisions, and ultimately minimise mistakes and rework. To date, Sensat has been used to drive effective decision-making across project teams on over $250bn of complex infrastructure delivery.
Our team are experienced operators who have built, led, contributed to and learnt from some of the most well known scaling success stories in global tech. Our management team has led multi-billion dollar exits in the construction/tech sectors at companies such as Google, Amazon, Oracle, McKinsey, Microsoft and Palantir. We're aligned by purpose, equipped with transparency and enabled by agency. The result is one of the most attractive and rewarding benefits for high performers that we can offer; the chance to work with purpose alongside talented and committed peers. We are looking for people that want to solve problems that matter with people that care.
