Electrical engineering consultants, Perth.
From the incoming supply to the last light fitting — power, lighting, communications, security and fire systems designed as one coordinated package.
Aurum Engineering designs electrical building services for commercial, residential, government, hospitality, mining and infrastructure projects across Western Australia and Australia. Our engineers take projects from concept and authority applications through detailed design, construction support and commissioning.
Every design starts with the real load and the real brief. Maximum demand calculations are built from first principles, plant is sized for how the building will actually operate, and services are coordinated in 3D with structure, mechanical and architecture — so the design that goes to site is the one that gets built.

Why Aurum
Design & Construct experience
Comfortable picking up a design part-way, driving it to IFC and supporting the builder through to handover.
Value engineering
Right-sized infrastructure — on ECU City Campus, a demand review reduced transformer capacity from 12 MVA to 8 MVA.
Digital engineering
Revit models coordinated with every discipline, cutting clashes and site variations.

Frequently asked questions
What electrical engineering services does Aurum provide?
HV and LV power and substations, backup generation, lighting and lighting control, data and communications, security and access control, fire detection and emergency warning, solar PV, battery storage, EV charging and energy metering — from concept design through to commissioning.
Do you work on Design & Construct projects?
Yes. Aurum regularly works for builders on D&C projects, including taking over designs part-way through and delivering them to Issue for Construction, then supporting construction and handover.
Do you only work in Perth?
Aurum is based in Perth and delivers projects across Western Australia — including regional and Pilbara sites — and around Australia.
Can you also handle the mechanical design?
Yes. Aurum provides mechanical engineering in-house, so electrical and mechanical services can be designed and coordinated by one team under one contract.
