A truly integrated and aligned Defence industry services partner

Serco provides critical support services in-country and embedded within deployed forces around the world. We have a proven track record for delivering services across the most demanding, complex and sensitive environments.

Complex Asset Management

We deliver sophisticated maintenance strategies, providing clients with confidence in the performance of their assets and allowing them to focus on their core business. Our strategies govern the delivery of maintenance programs that are often complex and multifaceted, due to their scale, technicality, urgency or criticality. 

 

We provide expert asset maintenance through efficient program scheduling, insightful data analysis, specialist skills and a deep understanding of client needs. When delivering maintenance programs, we aim to integrate seamlessly with our clients’ work methodology to provide a service that anticipates their needs. 

 

Our teams are focused on continual improvement, ensuring repairs are prompt and to a high standard, maintenance schedules are carefully planned and fully delivered, and our skills and capability are always up to date. 

 

We apply innovative data and technology to extend the availability of assets and reduce unexpected downtime. This allows our clients to work efficiently and avoid disruptions outside of their control.
