Munster

What Munster does

Munster Services Group is an Australian privately-held multi-disciplinary engineering, construction, maintenance, and refurbishment services company founded in 2008 and headquartered in Underwood, Queensland. The firm delivers turnkey project solutions across engineering, construction, maintenance, refurbishment, building maintenance, mechanical, pumps, electrical, and fabrication service lines, with an in-house machine shop, pump testing and motor rewinding facilities, and laser alignment and thermal imaging capabilities. Customers span water and wastewater utilities (SEQ Water, QUU, Unitywater, City of Gold Coast), tier-1 construction companies (Downer, Ventia, Fulton Hogan, John Holland), food and beverage processors (VISY, Coca-Cola Amatil, JBS, Jewel Fine Foods), and industrial operators.

The company generates revenue through project-based contracts and ongoing maintenance agreements, including 24/7, 365-day breakdown response services, with multi-year contract terms and quote-based pricing. The 2020 acquisition of PowerME Pty Ltd expanded the group into automation, instrumentation, controls, and communications, and added PowerME Mining, PowerME Pacific, and PowerMe Services divisions, extending geographic reach into South East Asia, PNG, Solomon Islands, and Central Africa. Distribution is primarily direct enterprise field sales supported by partnerships with pump and motor manufacturers (Hidrostal platinum service partner, plus Xylem, KSB, Grundfos, WEG, TECO, Sulzer, Franklin, Davey).

The business is founder-led by Managing Director Eric Guthrie (26+ years industry experience) and operates with a 24-person named management and engineering bench, fleet of 75+ vehicles, and 3,000+ managed assets tracked through Hilti OnTrack. ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certifications, three electrical contractor licences, and a Queensland Labour Hire Licence underwrite preferred-supplier status with government water authorities. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
