What Macmahon does
Macmahon generates revenue primarily through long-term contract mining and civil infrastructure engagements with enterprise clients. The business is asset-intensive, relying on deployed mining fleets and trained crews to execute drilling, blasting, and load and haul scopes across multi-year contracts. Revenue is project-based rather than subscription or usage-based, with an order book of $5.1 billion and a tender pipeline of $25.6 billion providing forward visibility. In H1 2026 the company reported AUD 1.3 billion in revenue (up 11% year-over-year) and AUD 200 million in underlying EBITDA (up 10%), with margin expansion supported by operational efficiencies and AI-enabled productivity tools. Recent technology investment has been channeled through a partnership with MaxMine, which deployed a machine learning load and dump classification system trained on over 14 million hours of operational data, linking Macmahon to the AI Accelerator Cooperative Research Centre's domestic AI effort for mining.
