About MineCon
MineCon is a consultancy firm specialising in guiding construction companies through the complexities of delivering projects for Australia’s largest mining companies.
Our expertise comes from first-hand experience, with our Managing Director having spent his entire career leading and executing multi-billion-dollar flagship construction projects in Senior Construction Manager and Senior Site Executive roles, working across contractor, EPCM and owner teams within the mining industry.
We understand the challenges companies face at every stage of a project, from tendering and contracts through to management plans, methodologies and constructability, scheduling, safety, statutory compliance, Section 26 (S26) coaching and project execution.
We are here to help with any or all aspects of your project, at any stage, big or small, regardless of where you currently stand.
The Story Behind MineCon
After decades of working on major construction projects across Australia's mining industry, our Managing Director recognised a recurring challenge: many capable construction businesses have the skills and experience to deliver quality work, but navigating the complex requirements of major mining companies can be a significant barrier.
From understanding industry expectations to meeting compliance and project delivery requirements, the process can be overwhelming, particularly for businesses without direct experience working with major mining operators.
MineCon was founded on a simple idea: the knowledge gained from decades inside the industry should be accessible to businesses looking to take their next step.
Our purpose is to help bridge the gap between capable contractors and the complex world of major mining projects.
