Cairns Engineering Services
Most shops do one thing. SAE Engineering does two that almost never come from the same place: structural steel fabrication and industrial control & automation. We design it, fabricate it, erect it on site with cranage, then wire and program the controls that make it run — one engineer accountable from the first drawing to final commissioning.
That means QBCC-licensed structural steel welded to AS/NZS 1554, crane-lift installs, and full control systems — PLCs, variable-speed drives, HMIs, SCADA and control-panel builds — across construction, civil and food & beverage processing. No sales reps, no hand-offs between three contractors pointing at each other. Send through your drawings or project details and we'll tell you straight what it takes.
Our Services
Control & Automation
PLCs, variable-speed drives, HMIs, SCADA and control-panel builds — programmed and commissioned on site, from the same hands that build the steel. Try the live demo.

Structural Steel Fabrication & Erection
Detailing, fabrication and crane-lift erection on site — QBCC-licensed and welded to AS/NZS 1554. We build the steel and stand it up.

Steel Fabrication
Structural and custom steel cut, welded and finished to spec — mild steel, stainless and aluminium, to AS/NZS 1554. For jobs that have to hold up, not just look the part.

Maintenance, Repairs & Fitting
On-site breakdown response, repairs and fitting for plant, heavy equipment and structures. We get you running and keep the downtime short.

Engineering Design
Build-ready design drawn by the same engineer who fabricates and installs it — so what's on the drawing is what gets built, to Australian standards, first time.
