CMC Automation & Electrical is an industrial automation and electrical services company headquartered in Emu Plains, New South Wales, operating as a subsidiary of Coffey Engineering Group. The company provides a comprehensive suite of services for industrial clients in the Sydney region, including electrical installations and upgrades, PLC and I/O system modifications, factory maintenance, plant and equipment relocations, machinery installations, conveyor system integration, motor control equipment services (DOL starters, soft starters, VSDs, motor repair and rewinding), switchboard and MCC builds and modifications, power upgrades, and safety compliance work. Its primary customer segments are industrial manufacturing and food and beverage processing facilities, with secondary exposure to infrastructure projects. Technology vendors include iAuditor (safety inspections), EdApp (mobile training), and Rapid (induction and competency management), which are used as operational tools rather than customer-facing products.

The business model is services-based, generating revenue through project-based electrical installations (one-time engagements) and recurring preventative maintenance contracts, breakdown support, and test-and-tagging services. Pricing is custom-quoted by project scope and is not publicly disclosed. The company goes to market through direct field sales targeting industrial facilities, complemented by referrals and project assignments channeled through its parent Coffey Engineering Group's network across facilities management, mining, quarrying, manufacturing, utilities, and infrastructure sectors. The company holds ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 certifications and is actively hiring industrial electricians, leading hands, and supervisors, indicating an expansion phase. Leadership comprises Director Chris Cooper and Business Manager David Vella. No public funding, M&A activity, or revenue disclosures are available.
