Your Reliable Maintenance Partner
Most generalist engineering firms lead with major projects, upgrades, and installs, treating maintenance as a low-priority afterthought. This leaves your warehouse stuck in a reactive cycle, where repeat faults return and downtime remains dangerously unpredictable.
MEX Engineering Group takes a completely different approach. We are a maintenance-first engineering provider. Fractional maintenance is the trust engine that embeds us inside your daily operations. By deploying stable, long-term technicians who learn the precise history of your assets, we build deep institutional memory. This allows us to bridge the gap between electrical and mechanical disciplines, delivering a long-term performance uplift that protects your throughput and reduces your operational risk.
Comprehensive Maintenance Services
We offer a complete, end-to-end industrial maintenance solution designed to protect your most critical assets. Our fractional maintenance capabilities are engineered to eliminate single points of failure, reduce repeat faults, and protect your warehouse from the massive cost of unplanned downtime.
Preventative Maintenance
Delivering scheduled asset care and proactive component replacement to eliminate dangerous single points of failure before they cause catastrophic line stops.
Predictive Maintenance
Utilising advanced diagnostic tools like vibration analysis, thermal scanning and condition monitoring to isolate and resolve hidden faults before they halt your production throughput.
Machinery Maintenance
Deploying our in-house mechanical fitters to maintain high-speed conveyors, gears, and physical infrastructure, significantly reducing mechanical wear and tear.
Electrical Maintenance
Supplying highly trained industrial electricians to maintain LV power, MCC control panels, and automation hardware, ensuring safe and AS/NZS compliant operations.
Equipment Maintenance
Embedding our technicians to build deep institutional memory of your legacy assets, allowing us to isolate root causes rather than just patching the same recurring faults.
System Maintenance
Maintaining complex PLC and SCADA architectures to ensure your software and mechanical components operate in perfect synchronisation without creating operational bottlenecks.
Scheduled Maintenance
Strategically executing routine asset care during your narrow planned changeover windows to ensure continuous production without straining your internal staff.
Breakdown & Shutdown
Operating a true 24/7 rapid response capability to aggressively shorten recovery time during critical failures, alongside executing complex maintenance upgrades during planned plant shutdowns.
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 reliability. Instead of relying on transient labour, we deploy our own in-house trained industrial electricians and mechanical fitters to build deep institutional memory of your critical assets.
Our process begins with isolating root causes rather than just patching the same recurring faults. We then execute precise, data-driven repairs, ensuring that your maintenance strategy is perfectly translated into practical, on-site reality. We secure your uptime by providing clear asset documentation, predictive monitoring, and ongoing fractional maintenance coverage
Core Trade Capabilities
Maintenance
Fractional maintenance and 24/7 breakdown support. We protect uptime and stabilise plant reliability.
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 High-Speed Manufacturing Demands
Australian manufacturing facilities are under immense pressure to increase throughput, particularly in FMCG and high-speed packaging. Operating older, legacy machinery at maximum capacity creates constant vibration, mechanical wear, and severe strain on electrical components.
Relying on reactive “break-fix” contractors exposes operations to revenue-draining shutdowns and lost institutional memory. Embedding a stable, fractional maintenance team is no longer a luxury; it is the only reliable way to isolate repeat faults, maintain asset history, and prevent the massive cost of halted production

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Fractional Contract Maintenance?
Fractional maintenance means we supply embedded, highly skilled industrial electricians and mechanical fitters to your site for a set number of hours or days per week. This acts as your dedicated maintenance department, building institutional memory of your assets without the overhead of hiring full-time, in-house technical staff.
How does your 24/7 Breakdown Response work?
Unlike generalist engineering firms who quote fast but mobilise slowly, MEX Engineering Group operates a true 24 hour, 7 day breakdown infrastructure. We provide rapid, on-call mechanical and electrical response capabilities designed specifically to shorten recovery time and restore production when critical infrastructure fails.
Do you provide shift coverage for 24/7 manufacturing rosters?
Yes. When production demands surge or internal staff are unavailable, we supply experienced tradespeople to seamlessly integrate into your shift rotations. We have successfully deployed multiple trade teams to cover expanded 24/7 rosters for major Australian breweries and food manufacturers.
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.
Are your engineering services compliant with Australian Standards?
Absolutely. We operate under rigorous HSEQ frameworks and certifications. Our engineering designs and machine safety audits strictly adhere to AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules and are supported by in-house TUV 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.
