What JTMEC does

JTMEC is an Australian electrical contracting and manufacturing company founded in 2005 in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, and headquartered in Malaga (Perth). It provides turn-key electrical construction, maintenance, high voltage distribution, engineering, commissioning and cable supply/repair services to tier-1 mining houses, tier-1 infrastructure contractors, and utility network operators. Since its June 2022 acquisition by Sweden-based Epiroc, JTMEC operates as a subsidiary within Epiroc's mining and infrastructure ecosystem while retaining its operational identity.

The company manufactures a proprietary product portfolio at three Australian facilities (Kalgoorlie WA, Orange NSW, Mount Isa QLD), including MineStarter and Dual MineStarter units, the MineCharger 80kW portable underground battery electric vehicle charging station, the TunnelStarter range (developed with Nepean Power), industrial fan/pump/drill starters, 2MVA mobile substations, distribution boards, and submersible dewatering pumps. Underpinning these products is the EPOCH microprocessor-controlled protection system compliant with Australian standards AS4871, AS2081, AS3000 and AS61439. JTMEC also holds one of very few Australian cable repair licences (MLA 140986) under AS/NZS 1747 and maintains ISO 9001/14001/45001, AS/NZS 4801 and OHSAS 18001 certifications.

JTMEC monetises through project-based electrical contracting contracts (including Tier 1 maintenance agreements with miners), direct product sales to mining and tunnelling operators, equipment hire (refurbished transformers, distribution boards, starter panels, cables), and pump sales/servicing. Pricing is bespoke and quote-based with no public list, and customer acquisition is driven by direct enterprise field sales, formal competitive tendering, and Epiroc referral channels. The company operates ten branch offices across Australia, with the Sydney operation having scaled from 3 to 160 employees between September 2021 and March 2023 to serve the Sydney Metro, WestConnex, M6 and Rozelle Interchange project pipeline.
