OM Engineering

What OM Engineering does

OM Engineering is a privately-owned Australian construction engineering firm founded in 2006 and headquartered in Burleigh Heads, Queensland. The company designs custom self-climbing jump form systems and specialist formwork equipment for high-rise buildings and major bridge pylon construction, serving general contractors, construction primes, and engineering joint ventures. Core products include self-climbing formwork for building cores, perimeter columns and shear walls (for buildings above 10 floors), self-climbing and crane-picked formwork for bridge piers of all types and complexity (including H-frame and A-frame cable-stayed bridge pylons), industrial tank formwork, false-work and heavy civil structures, and heavy lifting solutions using hydraulic equipment. Underlying engineering capability combines in-house conceptual drawings, structural analysis, 3D modelling, and independent design-check certification, with fabrication outsourced to long-tenured partner Norway Steel under close quality oversight.

The firm's customer base is concentrated among Tier-1 international construction firms — including Fluor Corporation, American Bridge, Traylor Bros, Granite, Dragados Canada, Aecon, Acciona, Multiplex, Icon, and Infinity Constructions — across landmark projects such as the New Tappan Zee Bridge, Gordie Howe International Bridge, Pattullo Bridge Replacement, Pacifica NZ (tallest building in New Zealand), V&A West Tower, and Epsilon The Star Residences. Revenue is generated through custom project-based contracts covering design, fabrication oversight, supply, international delivery, and on-site equipment assembly, with pricing quoted per project and some jacking equipment supplied on a lump-sum rental basis. Operating geographies span Australia, New Zealand, the USA, Canada, and South Africa, with a distributed drawing office across three countries supporting 3D modelling and detailing work. The team is led by founder Oliver Mork (Professional Engineer, 27 years experience) alongside Drawing Office Manager Stuart Hellier (39 years experience), Business Manager Tunya Judd, Construction Manager Graeme Davidson, and Workshop Manager Trent Harvison.
