Your Reliable Turnkey Partner
Most engineering firms treat system integration as a disjointed process, designing the system on paper but outsourcing the physical installation to transient labour. This creates a dangerous gap between electrical and mechanical disciplines, resulting in unsafe workarounds, blown budgets, and delayed commissioning.
MEX Engineering Group delivers a true full-stack solution. By housing industrial electricians, mechanical fitters, and RPEQ engineers under one roof, we execute your turnkey projects with laser-like accuracy. We do not just hand you a design; we take complete accountability for the installation, programming, and final validation to ensure the strategy translates perfectly to your factory floor.

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 infrastructure. Our process begins with detailed CAD-based mechanical design and control system architecture. We then deploy our in-house tradespeople to execute the installation, ensuring that the engineering strategy is perfectly translated into practical, on-site reality. We secure this investment by providing comprehensive as-built drawings and ongoing fractional maintenance coverage.
Core Trade Capabilities
Maintenance
Fractional maintenance and 24/7 breakdown support that protects uptime and the expensive cost of downtime.
Electrical
LLV power, control design, and hazardous area installations. We provide safe, compliant, and robust electrical systems.
Additive Manufacturing
Industrial Markforged 3D printing. We can do rapid reverse engineering to overcome supply chain delays.
Machine Safety
Full-stack CMSE® safety solutions. Unlike advisory-only consultants, we execute all four stages in-house—risk assessment, safe design, physical installation, and validation.
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.
MEX Excellence Integration Process
We follow a structured 6-step framework to embed our expertise inside your facility:
Site & Risk Assessment
Identifying potential hazards, legacy equipment risks, and audit exposure.
Fractional Maintenance Integration
Embedding our technicians to stabilise daily operations and build site knowledge.
Root Cause Analysis
Eliminating repeat failures through data-driven troubleshooting.
Engineering Design
Using the latest CAD software for mechanical and electrical architecture.

Adapting to high-speed manufacturing demands
Australian manufacturing is facing intense pressure to automate processes, increase throughput, and run 24/7 rosters. Expanding facilities or modernising legacy equipment by juggling separate mechanical, electrical, and automation contractors is a massive risk to your business.
Fragmented communication leads to extended shutdowns and blown budgets. Engaging a single, authoritative partner for turnkey installations is no longer a luxury; it is the only reliable way to safely transition to high-speed automation while protecting your critical uptime and preventing the massive cost of halted production.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a “Full-Stack” turnkey installation mean?
Most engineering firms act only as consultants or designers, outsourcing the physical installation to third parties. “Full-Stack” means MEX Engineering Group executes every stage in-house. From the initial risk assessment and CAD design, through to the mechanical fabrication, electrical wiring, PLC programming, and final commissioning, we handle it all with our own licensed tradespeople.
How do you manage complex installations without disrupting production?
We understand that unplanned downtime is an unacceptable cost. Our project management teams strategically align complex mechanical and electrical upgrades precisely with your narrow planned shutdown or changeover windows, ensuring the plant returns to full capacity immediately.
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).
