Metroid is built around three things — Smarts, Systems and Soul: how we think, how we build, and why we care.
GREAT PLACE TO WORKIndependently certified as a Great Place to Work™ three years running.
Everything we do rests on three things: engineering smarts that add value from the first conversation through to commissioning, systems that keep every build consistent, and the soul of a family business that genuinely cares.
Smarts is the brain, systems is the body, soul is the heart, and our five core values are what holds the three together.
Smart, systemised, caring people. Here's what each part means for you.

From tender stage where our engineers can help value-engineer the best solution for each individual project, to design where we will engineer a high quality fit-for-purpose design that works. From programming where we'll ensure the PLC program has all the critical functionality you need (and even some you didn't even know you could have), through to commissioning onsite and remotely, where we'll stay with you until your system is humming.
When you engage Metroid, you're not just getting a switchboard or switchroom, you're getting a smart solutions partner who's beside you all the way through. The more complex or first-of-a-kind your process, the more that engineering partnership is worth.
Our engineers are involved from the quote stage, not just the build stage, so the design you sign off on is one we know how to deliver efficiently and reliably, not just one that ticks a spec.
From in-house PLC, HMI and SCADA programming through to commissioning and ongoing technical support, the same engineering thinking follows your project the whole way, right through to the support that comes after handover.
Systems-thinking is part of our DNA and something we're deeply passionate about.
Over the past 15 years, we've built and refined internal systems and software to greatly streamline our engineering and build processes. With a proprietary ERP built from the ground up, covering tender all the way through to commissioning, and a suite of in-house developed integrated software systems that standardise and semi automate, Metroid achieves unparalleled consistency, quality and efficiency across every function.
Systems and purpose-built software means we can engineer and build highly complex industrial control switchboards to a consistent high quality every time, removing the risk from your electrical controls scope.
Some of the proprietary software systems include:
Our estimating platform, built on real cost and engineering data for fast, accurate quotes, with very high level of detail.
Integrates with AutoCAD Electrical to semi-automate and standardise best practice in our electrical drafting, ensuring consistent high quality.
Integrates with SolidWorks to semi-automate our mechanical designs, to provide a standardised high quality design that makes fabrication seamless.
Reads our AutoCAD files to plan cable routes and drive the wire-cutting machines, providing wiring graphical instructions one at a time on a computer screen, driving consistency, quality and efficiency.
Integrates with all common PLC brands to semi-automate and standardise our programming, reducing time and driving consistent quality.
Cloud-based project management platform shared with the customer, as the central source of RFIs, drawings, correspondence, delivery timeframes and more, to ensure complete transparency on every project.
We believe business is deeply human.
We know that if we look after our people, they'll look after you.
We're also deeply passionate about building an environment that enables people to grow and develop, even beyond what they thought possible of themselves.
Metroid is still run by the family that founded it in 1993, second-generation now, and it shows: humble, down-to-earth problem solvers who'd rather quietly fix something than talk about it. New candidates find it hard to believe, it's not till they start they truly experience the "Soul", those values and heart that tie us together as genuine, caring people.
We've been independently certified as a Great Place to Work every year since 2023, and every new Metroidian comes up through our own training curriculum in Metroid University, ensuring we all play the game The Metroid Way.
Independently certified as a Great Place to Work every year since 2023, not a badge we awarded ourselves. Happier teams deliver better solutions and build better switchboards.
Run today by five brothers who took over from their father. Decisions get made for the long term, including the long-term relationship we want with you, not for a quarterly number.
Five values run through Systems, Smarts and Soul alike. They're not a poster on the wall, our people genuinely live them every day, and they're the reason our customers keep coming back.
We're genuine, open, honest and accountable team players — we get to the point, we face the facts, and we keep our word. You get direct answers and the truth about costs, timelines and risks, even when it's not what you want to hear.
Always looking for better ways to add value. We're comfortable with change and never settle for "that's how we've always done it". On your project that means fresh engineering thinking and projects executed through proprietary systems to deliver the best possible outcome on every project.
A team without ego that never stops improving. We put the team's success first and thrive on feedback, staying current through our own training program, Metroid University, and listening when you tell us how to improve.
Friendly and ready to serve. We gladly help wherever we can, and adapt with a smile. You won't hear "that's not my job"; we respond quickly and help even outside the contract.
Problems get solved, not passed around. We push through challenges using initiative, not waiting to be told. When something goes wrong, we focus on fixing it and stopping it recurring, not on whose fault it was.
Real smarts, real systems, real soul, tied together with real values — that's what backs every project we take on. Let's talk about yours.
