Approaching projects with creativity is what makes us stand out from the crowd, and the consistent peer-recognition through winning engineering and environmental awards is testament to that. Our people represent the best and brightest in their fields. We're proud of the passion and success of our team in striving to be the industry leaders, and it shows in our results.

We come up with smart ways to solve engineering problems. We’re inherently inquisitive and we rate ourselves on our ability to innovate; and our clients place a high value on it. It also means we work on more challenging projects that not only require a creative engineering approach, but the need to be inventive logistically in terms of equipment and project management.

Our fundamental philosophy of finding creative solutions to engineering and construction challenges for clients has never changed, with ongoing relationships with our clients being one of our key strategies. We have a track record of building long-term relationships with both national and international clients, which is testament to our innovative and client-focused capability.

The main operational focus of McConnell Dowell is to meet and exceed our clients’ requirements through innovation and teamwork and to promote industry excellence in the management of safety, quality, environment and human relations in every project we undertake.
