Star Electrical Co.Pty.Ltd

What Star Electrical Co.Pty.Ltd does

Star Group (legal entity Star Electrical Co.Pty.Ltd) is a privately owned Australian electrical, communications and maintenance contractor founded in 1960 and headquartered in Condell Park, NSW. The company operates a 'one team - multiple discipline' delivery model that combines electrical installation, communications and data, high voltage, audio-visual, controlled automation, design and engineering, project management, and service and maintenance under a single contract vehicle. Its portfolio spans large-scale construction projects across commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, government and defence assets, residential and hotel developments, mining operations, transport and tunnelling infrastructure, water and wastewater treatment plants, and data centres.

Revenue is generated almost exclusively through fixed-price project contracts awarded via competitive tendering, with disclosed project values ranging from $250,000 to $67 million and a flagship set in the $10M-$67M band (Crown Resort at Barangaroo, Northern Beaches Hospital, Chris O'Brien Lifehouse, Westfield Warringah Mall, RNSH Clinical Services Building, ICC Sofitel, Dubbo and Goulburn Hospitals). The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting Tier 1 general contractors (Lendlease, Multiplex, CPB Contractors, Hansen Yuncken, John Holland, Thiess, Hutchinson Builders) and government clients. Operational reach extends across six Australian offices in NSW and ACT and an offshore support office in Colombo, Sri Lanka, with two wholly-owned subsidiaries — SE Distribution for wholesale electrical supply and Elect Energy for energy services — extending the business into product and energy adjacencies.

The business is family-controlled, currently led by third-generation Andrews family CEO John Andrews, with Jade Coleman as Group General Manager and Peter McCabe (joined December 2025) as CFO. Star Group works with over 700 suppliers and serves more than 500 clients, relying on long-standing NECA membership (since 1957), Master Builders membership, project portfolio case studies, and direct enterprise relationships rather than digital marketing as its primary demand-generation channels.

Direct peers

• Stowe Australia: One of Australia's largest privately-owned electrical contractors offering electrical, communications, data, and HV services nationally. Closely comparable to Star Group in service offering and target market, but operates across more Australian states.
• RP Infrastructure (RPI): Australian electrical, communications, and security contractor serving commercial, healthcare, education, and government clients with an integrated multi-discipline model similar to Star Group.
• IPD Group: Australian electrical product distributor and solutions provider. Comparable to Star Group's wholly-owned SE Distribution subsidiary which provides wholesale electrical distribution services.
• ARA Electrical Services: Australian electrical contracting specialist serving commercial, healthcare, education, and data centre clients. Comparable scale, multi-discipline offering, and customer base to Star Group, with growing presence in data centre vertical.

Broad incumbents

• Ventia: Large Australian infrastructure services provider with significant electrical, communications, and HV capabilities, particularly in transport and government. Competitor for major Tier-1 subcontracted electrical work and large infrastructure programs.
• Lendlease Building: Tier-1 Australian builder and a major Star Group client (Crown Resort, ICC Sofitel). As one of Australia's largest construction companies, Lendlease is both a key customer relationship and a competitor context — Star Group depends on continued inclusion in Lendlease's subcontractor panel.
• John Holland: Tier-1 Australian builder and a Star Group customer. Also competes via in-house electrical capabilities on rail, water, and infrastructure projects where Star Group seeks subcontracted work.
• Downer EDI: ASX-listed major contractor with substantial electrical, communications, and HV capabilities across transport, utilities, and infrastructure. Competes with Star Group on data centre, rail, and infrastructure tenders but operates as part of a much larger diversified portfolio.
