Industrial Electrical Contractor — Gold Coast & Northern NSW

If you’re looking for a licensed industrial electrician on the Gold Coast, Hexar Solutions delivers the kind of technical capability that factories, manufacturers, and industrial facilities actually need — not just general electrical work dressed up with the right label. We handle complex power distribution, motor control, automation integration, and compliance work across Gold Coast, Tweed Heads, and the Northern NSW border region. Our team is licensed across Queensland and New South Wales, so cross-border projects between the Gold Coast and Tweed don’t create the jurisdictional headaches they do with contractors holding only a single state licence.

Industrial Electrical Services We Deliver on the Gold Coast

Hexar Solutions has been working in industrial electrical for over 30 years. Our Gold Coast projects typically span manufacturing plants, food processing facilities, cold storage operations, logistics warehouses, and light industrial estates across the Yatala Enterprise Area, Coomera, and Stapylton corridors — some of Queensland’s fastest-growing industrial precincts. We understand that downtime is a cost, not just an inconvenience, and we structure our work accordingly.

Our core industrial electrical capabilities include:

• High and low voltage power distribution — design, installation, and commissioning of switchboards, sub-boards, and reticulation systems compliant with AS/NZS 3000 (Wiring Rules)
• Motor control centres (MCC) — new installations, upgrades, and retrofits including soft starters, variable speed drives (VSDs), and direct-on-line (DOL) starters
• Factory electrical fitouts — full electrical infrastructure for new builds, tenancy fitouts, and production line extensions
• Manufacturing electrical upgrades — capacity upgrades to support new equipment loads, production expansions, and energy efficiency improvements
• Temporary site power — compliant temporary installations under AS/NZS 3012 for construction sites and shutdown projects
• Automation and control systems — PLC integration, instrumentation wiring, SCADA connectivity, and control panel fabrication
• Electrical compliance and testing — inspection, thermal imaging, test and tag, and switchboard audits
• Emergency breakdown response — available for facilities across the Gold Coast and Northern NSW when production is at risk

What Sets Industrial Electrical Work Apart

Industrial electrical isn’t simply commercial electrical at a larger scale. The load profiles are different, the protection and coordination requirements are more demanding, and the consequences of a fault — for production continuity and for personnel safety — are significantly greater. Work must comply with AS/NZS 3000:2018 (the Australian and New Zealand Wiring Rules), and where temporary installations are involved for construction or shutdown work, AS/NZS 3012 governs the requirements for electrical installations on construction and demolition sites.

When Hexar Solutions takes on an industrial electrical project, the first step is always a proper site assessment. We look at your existing infrastructure, your current and projected load requirements, your equipment schedules, and your operational constraints — particularly planned shutdown windows. From there we develop a scope of work that addresses the technical requirements without unnecessary cost, and we provide a clear, itemised quote so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Factory and Manufacturing Electrical on the Gold Coast — Typical Scope

Gold Coast manufacturing clients regularly engage us for the following types of work:

• Switchboard upgrades and replacements — ageing switchboards present both safety and capacity risks. We design and install replacements that meet current AS/NZS 3000 requirements and provide headroom for future expansion.
• Production line electrical — new conveyor systems, robotic cells, packaging lines, and CNC equipment all require dedicated electrical infrastructure designed around the equipment’s specific power quality and control requirements.
• Power factor correction — facilities with large motor loads often carry unnecessary network charges. We assess your power factor and install correction equipment where it makes financial sense.
• Hazardous area electrical — food processing, chemical handling, and spray painting facilities frequently require Ex-rated installations. We have the specialist knowledge to work in classified hazardous areas compliantly.
• Planned maintenance and thermal imaging — regular inspection and infrared scanning of switchboards and high-load circuits is a practical step in preventing unplanned failures.

Cross-Border Coverage: Gold Coast to Tweed Heads and Northern NSW

A significant number of industrial facilities in the Gold Coast region operate close to or across the Queensland–New South Wales border. The Tweed Heads industrial area, Murwillumbah, and facilities along the Pacific Highway corridor in Northern NSW are all within our regular service area. Because Hexar Solutions holds licences in both Queensland and New South Wales (as well as Victoria, South Australia, and Western Australia), we can complete electrical work on both sides of the border under a single contractor relationship — something that matters when you’re managing a multi-site operation or a facility that straddles the state line.

Qualifications and Compliance

Hexar Solutions is ISO 9001 certified and a member of the National Electrical and Communications Association (NECA). Our quality management system covers the full project lifecycle, from initial design review through to commissioning documentation and handover. Every installation is tested, inspected, and documented to the relevant Australian standard before we consider a job complete. If your facility requires contractor compliance documentation, SWMS, or site induction prior to works commencing, that’s standard practice for us — not an administrative obstacle.

Frequently Asked Questions — Industrial Electrical, Gold Coast

What licences does Hexar Solutions hold for electrical work on the Gold Coast?

Hexar Solutions holds electrical contractor licences in Queensland and New South Wales, which covers all industrial electrical work across the Gold Coast, Tweed Heads, and Northern NSW border region. We also hold licences in Victoria, South Australia, and Western Australia for clients with nationally distributed facilities. All on-site electricians hold the relevant state electrical worker licences for the jurisdiction in which they are working.

What Australian standards apply to industrial electrical installations?

The primary standard governing electrical installations in Australia is AS/NZS 3000:2018, commonly referred to as the Wiring Rules. This standard sets the requirements for the design, installation, and testing of electrical installations in buildings and structures, including industrial facilities. Where temporary electrical installations are required — for example on construction sites or during plant shutdowns — AS/NZS 3012 applies. Additional standards may apply depending on the nature of the installation, including standards governing hazardous areas, switchboard construction, and specific equipment types. All Hexar Solutions work is designed and installed to the applicable standards.

Can you work around our production schedule to minimise downtime?

Yes. Most of our industrial clients cannot afford extended production shutdowns, and we plan our work around your operational windows as a matter of course. This typically means pre-fabricating switchboard sections and control panels off-site, completing preparatory work during normal operating hours, and reserving the connection and commissioning phase for planned shutdown periods. We’ll discuss your schedule constraints at the quoting stage so we can plan the works accordingly.

Do you provide electrical maintenance as well as project work?

Yes. In addition to project-based electrical work, Hexar Solutions provides planned preventive maintenance for industrial facilities, including switchboard inspections, thermal imaging surveys, test and tag services, and routine maintenance of motor control equipment. Some clients engage us on an ongoing basis for both project work and maintenance; others use us for specific projects and call us in for breakdown response when needed. We can structure the engagement to suit your requirements.

What information do you need to provide a quote for a factory electrical project?

The more detail you can provide, the more accurate the quote. Useful information includes existing electrical drawings or switchboard schedules, a list of new equipment with nameplate data (kW rating, voltage, phase, control voltage), your site’s available supply capacity, and any constraints on timing or access. If you don’t have drawings or aren’t sure about your existing infrastructure, we can conduct a site assessment first. For straightforward projects, we can often provide a budgetary figure after a site visit and a clear scope discussion. Call us on 1300 365 700 to get the process started.

Do you handle both the electrical and automation components of a project?

Yes. As a specialist automation and industrial electrical contractor, Hexar Solutions covers both the electrical infrastructure and the automation and control layer — PLC programming, instrumentation, control panel fabrication, SCADA integration, and commissioning. This is particularly valuable for clients undertaking production line upgrades or new equipment installations where the electrical and control work are closely interdependent. Having a single contractor responsible for both reduces coordination risk and simplifies accountability when it comes to commissioning and handover.
