What Murray Engineering does

Murray Engineering is a privately held Australian multi-disciplined engineering services provider headquartered in Pinjarra, Western Australia, operating across mining and resources, energy and electrical, dewatering and water, civil and construction, and automation and control verticals. With over 500 skilled personnel and approximately 35 years of operating history, the company delivers integrated mechanical, electrical, fabrication, pumping, and automation solutions to enterprise clients in the underground and surface mining, tunnelling, and industrial sectors. Service offerings span equipment hire and sales (drills, LHDs, dump trucks from Sandvik, Caterpillar, Epiroc, Komatsu), machine rebuilds and repairs, component refurbishment and testing in a certified clean room, trailing cable repair, custom fabrication, turnkey electrical packages (switchrooms, substations, distribution boards), and dewatering pump manufacture and rentals. The business is structured around multi-year MARC (Maintenance and Repair Contracts) with KPI-bound fixed-cost terms, alongside project-based engineering services and proprietary specialist safety products including the RetrieveME underground retrieval unit, JumboGuard boom isolation system, LP401 remote-controlled low profile loader, and the Pressurised Mine Equipment Washer.

Geographically the company anchors a 50,000m2 manufacturing facility in Pinjarra with additional operations in Kalgoorlie and Newcastle, providing national coverage across both Australian seaboards. Revenue is generated through a mix of professional services fees, equipment hire and rental, hardware sales (electrical panels, fabricated products, second-hand and service exchange components), and managed-service MARC contracts; pricing is custom and quote-based across segments, with public pricing not disclosed. Core go-to-market is enterprise field sales direct to major mining operators, complemented by direct equipment rental and sales via a website storefront and exclusive Australian distribution rights for HARD-LINE remote control technology, the Hexagon LP401, and the YUMARR JumboGuard safety system. Customer evidence includes multi-year anchor contracts with major mining contractors and Tier One mining groups, and disclosed single-project values such as a $2.185 million switchroom supply contract with 29 Metals, indicating meaningful contract-level economics within a project-driven revenue mix.
