End-to-end electrical solutions
Most generalist engineering firms lack the granular, hands-on expertise required for complex electrical and instrumentation (E&I) systems in heavy manufacturing. This leads to improper system integration, unsafe workarounds, and increased risks of revenue-draining power outages.
MEX Engineering Group provides a complete, end-to-end electrical solution. By deploying stable, long-term industrial electricians who learn the precise history of your assets, we stabilise reliability before executing major automation upgrades. From AS/NZS 3000 compliant electrical design and Motor Control Centre (MCC) fabrication to PLC programming and preventive condition monitoring, we engineer strategic, long-term upgrades that eliminate recurring bottlenecks and maximise your asset lifecycles.

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

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 weekend preventative maintenance shifts.
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.
Reliable electrical integration framework
We follow a structured 6-step framework to embed our electrical expertise inside your facility:
Electrical Risk Assessment
Identifying overloaded circuits, legacy control system risks, and audit exposure.
Fractional Maintenance Integration
Embedding our industrial electricians to build site knowledge and stabilise reactive power faults.
Root Cause Fault Isolation
Eliminating repeat mechanical failures through data-driven troubleshooting.
Engineering Design
Using the latest software to design robust power distribution and AS/NZS compliant control architectures.
Turnkey Fabrication & Installation

Legacy wiring to modern electrical integration
Australian manufacturing facilities face immense pressure to increase throughput and automate processes. Operating legacy electrical switchboards, aging wiring, and unsupported PLC networks 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 and legally protected.

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 and eliminate contractor inconsistency.
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 engineering and installation work adheres strictly to Australian Standards, keeping your site legally compliant and protected from audit failures.
Can your electricians provide continuous production coverage for our shifts?
Yes. When production demands surge or your internal staff are overloaded, we supply embedded, highly skilled industrial electricians to provide fractional contract maintenance. This ensures your line remains fully supported during peak 24/7 rosters without the overhead of hiring permanent staff.
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, international certifications. Our engineering designs and machine safety audits strictly adhere to AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules and are supported by in-house CMSE® – Certified Machinery Safety Expert (TÜV NORD).
