Trusted by Australia’s Leading Manufacturers
MEX Engineering Group provides embedded site teams and engineering services to some of the country’s largest production facilities. We maintain critical infrastructure for industry leaders across FMCG, food and beverage, and high-speed packaging, including Tooheys, CHEP, Ullrich Aluminium, Goodman Fielder, and BlueScope Steel.
From Engineering Design to Boots-on-the-Ground Execution
We eliminate contractor inconsistency by managing the entire lifecycle of your plant’s electrical infrastructure. Our process begins with robust, AS/NZS 3000 compliant electrical design, MCC panel specification, and control system architecture. Instead of handing the project off to third-party contractors, we deploy our own in-house trained industrial electricians to execute the installation.
This ensures that the complex engineering strategy is perfectly translated into a safe, high-performance reality on your factory floor. We secure this investment by providing comprehensive as-built drawings, rigorous compliance validation, and ongoing fractional maintenance coverage to protect your vital uptime
Core trade capabilities

Low Voltage power, control design, and electrical area installations. We provide safe, compliant, and robust electrical systems.
How we saved $17,000 per hour by Reducing Downtime
Our client’s plastic pallet washing facility is a critical piece of their supply chain infrastructure that runs 24/7. MEX Engineering Group was engaged to provide 24-hour operational assistance and critical preventative maintenance shifts to ensure the plant could survive the severe demands of continuous production.
By embedding a team of three maintenance electricians and one mechanical fitter, we organise all trades, source parts, and schedule repairs. Since taking control of the site, downtime has decreased significantly. With client downtime valued at approximately $17,000 per hour, our engineered maintenance strategy delivers considerable, measurable savings across their business operations.

Adapting to strict electrical safety and audit demands
Australian manufacturing facilities face immense pressure to increase throughput and automate processes. Operating legacy electrical switchboards, aging wiring, and unsupported control systems at maximum capacity poses a severe risk to output.
Modernising these assets through targeted electrical engineering and system integration is no longer a luxury; it is an absolute requirement to prevent the massive cost of unplanned shutdowns. By partnering with NECA-aligned, industrial-trained electricians, your facility can safely transition to high-speed automation while remaining fully compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is your in-house training centre important for electrical services?
Standard TAFE courses do not teach the complex industrial electrical skills required for heavy manufacturing; they focus largely on domestic work. We invest heavily in our own dedicated training facility to develop our apprentices into highly skilled industrial specialists. This ensures every tradesperson possesses the exact technical depth needed to protect your vital infrastructure.
What does your NECA membership mean for my facility?
As members of the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA), we run our Safety and Integrated Management Systems (IMS) through their rigorous frameworks. This provides our clients with the absolute assurance that all electrical work adheres strictly to Australian Standards, keeping your site legally compliant and protected from audit failures.
Can you cover electrical shift maintenance for 24/7 rosters?
Yes. When production demands surge or internal staff are unavailable, we supply experienced industrial electricians to seamlessly integrate into your shift rotations. We have successfully deployed multiple trade teams to cover expanded 24/7 rosters for major Australian production facilities, ensuring uninterrupted throughput.
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.
What is the difference between PLC Automation and a SCADA System Upgrade?
A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) provides direct, on-machine automation, instructing mechanical parts on exactly how and when to move. A Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system is the overarching software that connects multiple PLCs, allowing plant managers to monitor the entire production line, gather data, and control processes remotely from a central interface.
Do you provide 24/7 breakdown support for your engineered systems?
Yes. MEX Engineering Group operates a true 24 hour, 7 day breakdown response service. We do not just design and install; we provide the ongoing fractional maintenance and rapid recovery capability required to protect your uptime.
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).
Do you use subcontractors for your mechanical and electrical engineering?
While we have a broad network of trusted partners, our core capability is delivered by our own highly trained, full-time technicians and engineers. We invest heavily in our dedicated in-house training centre to ensure every staff member meets the MEX Engineering Group standard of excellence before they ever step onto your site.
