Contracts Administrator

Who is M2P Engineering? 

M2P Engineering are a market leading construction, engineering and fabrication service provider specialising in heavy industrial Structural, Mechanical, and Piping (SMP) projects across Australia. 

But put simply, we are a business based on values and ethics: we want to treat people well, work bloody hard, have skin in the game and do the job properly. It’s engineering construction – the way it should be.  

A few quick notes about what we do: 

• To date, our key achievements include major SMP construction projects at remote mine sites, both surface and underground, and industrial facilities in our key operating centres. 
• Scopes we have successfully completed include crushing and conveying systems, mineral processing facilities, ventilation, refrigeration, and associated infrastructure. 
• We have recently expanded our service offering to include Energy, Oil and Gas projects. 
• M2P have several strategically placed workshops across the country where we fabricate heavy industrial pipework, platework and structural steel. 
• We also design & manufacture our own patented specialised inflatable products, which are used in several innovative industrial safety, ventilation & production applications. 

We've built all of this with determination, plenty of hard work and a little bit of luck, in the short space of time, since M2P was established in 2017 by our MD, Adam (although, there is still much more ahead of us that we'd like you to be a part of).
