Frequently Asked Questions
What services does JMB Engineering offer?
We deliver specialist electrical engineering services including SKM Power Tools modelling, protection coordination studies, fault level analysis, arc flash assessments, electrical design packages, AutoCAD drafting, earthing and lightning protection studies, and general electrical engineering consulting for mining, heavy industry, renewables, data centres and utilities.
Why use a specialist electrical engineering consultant?
Our team are practical engineers with real on-the-ground operational experience. We’ve worked on live production sites across mining, heavy industry and energy, so we understand the realities of delivering engineering in operating environments. Specialist consultants bring deep expertise in power system analysis, protection engineering and electrical standards that in-house teams may not have capacity for. We provide independent, technically rigorous assessments and designs that reduce risk, ensure compliance and support safe, reliable operations.
What industries does JMB Engineering serve?
JMB Engineering services a broad range of sectors including mining (underground and open-cut coal, metalliferous), CHPPs, ports and bulk materials handling, heavy industrial processing, renewables, data centres and utilities. Our engineering expertise translates across any industry that relies on medium and high voltage electrical infrastructure.
Do you provide turn-key electrical protection services?
Yes. We provide end-to-end protection engineering services including protection coordination studies, relay settings development, on-site protection relay setup, commissioning and injection testing. We also operate a dedicated Protection Database software platform for centralised management of protection settings, relay assets and coordination records across your site or fleet.
Do you provide automation services?
Automation and industrial technology services are delivered by our sister company, JMB Automation. JMB Automation specialises in machine vision, AI inspection systems, LiDAR monitoring, PLC/SCADA and operational data platforms for mining and heavy industry. Visit JMB Group to learn more.
How do you manage electrical compliance?
JMB Engineering has qualified electrical engineering managers with Chartered Professional Engineer status to support your compliance requirements. We assist with electrical safety management plans, hazardous area assessments and ongoing compliance documentation. Our Plant Safety File software platform provides a centralised, auditable system for managing electrical plant safety documentation, inspection records and compliance tracking across your operations.
Do you provide on-site engineering support?
Yes. We provide full on-site installation, commissioning and ongoing support. Our engineers have hands-on site experience and understand the requirements of working safely and efficiently in live production environments.
Can you review or update existing protection settings and power system models?
Absolutely. We regularly take over and update existing SKM models, review and recoordinate protection settings, and bring legacy electrical documentation up to current standards. We can also audit existing designs and provide compliance gap assessments.
How do I request a quote?
