As a solutions partner, we value-engineer, design, build, program and commission the entire control system — industrial control switchboards and containerised switchrooms — under one roof, so nothing gets lost between disciplines. One accountable partner, instead of a chain of subcontractors, removes the biggest source of program risk on a project: the gaps in between.
Certainty of delivery, all the way through.
Your program survives change. We find ways, not excuses.
Every step managed in-house, so fewer handoffs and less risk.
Every step managed by our own people, for consistent quality, reduced risk and faster delivery.
Engineers work with your team and value-engineer the best control solutions to help you win the work.
Detailed electrical design, revised until your process is locked.
Built in-house to AS61439, to the highest standard.
Custom PLC, HMI & SCADA from engineers who know your process.
On site or remote, we stay until your plant runs smoothly.
We’re in it together, always a phone call away to troubleshoot or make remote programming changes.
Our people are the difference: smart, down-to-earth, humble problem solvers who are here to serve you.
Metroid is owned and run by the five Weeks brothers, the second generation of a family that has worked in electrical engineering for four generations. It’s a rare thing, five siblings building one business together, and it shapes how we treat our customers and each other.
We believe business is deeply human. Our purpose is building a better business by building better people, which is why we’ve been independently certified as a Great Place to Work™ three years running.
Five values guide how we show up, every day and on every project:
Open, honest and accountable. We get to the point, face the facts and keep our word.
We thrive on innovation. There’s always a better way to do anything.
Hungry to learn and grow, and never too proud to admit where we can improve.
Friendly, caring and flexible. We help out wherever we see a need.
We look for solutions, not blame. We continually adapt and improve our process.
“Metroid doesn’t just take an order and disappear. They sat down with our engineers, understood the process, and helped us value-engineer a solution that actually won us the project. It feels like having an extra engineering team on our side.”
“What sets them apart is how they respond when things change on site. A late scope change that could have blown our program was absorbed without drama, they just found a way. That kind of flexible, can-do support is rare.”
“We’ve worked with a lot of board builders over the years. None have partnered with us the way Metroid has. Whenever we hit a problem in commissioning, they’re on the phone or on site, and they stay until it’s solved. That’s why we keep coming back.”
