Frequently Asked Questions
Do you hire apprentices?
Yes. We are always on the lookout for driven individuals who want to build a long-term career in industrial engineering. Through our Training Centre, you will receive unparalleled mentorship, hands-on experience in complex manufacturing environments, and the opportunity to work alongside industry experts.
What is the culture like at MEX Engineering Group?
Our culture is defined by our core values: “People Over Profit,” “Home Safe Always,” and “Quality Over Quantity”. We are an incredibly close-knit team that operates with a “One Team, One Goal” mindset. We prioritise collaboration, self-development, and taking pride in solving complex problems for Australian industry.
Why is the MEX Engineering Group Training Centre different from standard TAFE courses?
Standard TAFE electrical courses are heavily geared toward domestic and commercial wiring. They do not teach the highly specialised skills required for industrial automation, high-speed manufacturing, or complex PLC fault-finding. Our in-house Training Centre specifically bridges this gap, creating elite industrial tradespeople who understand production realities.
Why is system integration critical for modern manufacturing?
System integration connects isolated machinery, electrical controls, and data communications into a single, cohesive line. This prevents operational bottlenecks, reduces manual handling errors, and ensures that mechanical and electrical components operate in perfect synchronisation to maximise throughput.
Are your engineering services compliant with Australian Standards?
Absolutely. We operate under rigorous HSEQ frameworks and certifications. Our engineering designs strictly adhere to AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules and are supported by in-house TÜV Nord-certified CMSE (Certified Machinery Safety Experts).
