Major Shutdowns 2024

About Us 

UGL are an organisation with a long history.  

We boast one of the longest histories in the Mackay and Central Queensland region for the delivery of coal asset maintenance shutdowns.  

Backed by the strength of a global organisation in CIMIC, at our heart our Resources East Division - based out of Mackay and working throughout Central Queensland - is a local team, operating continuously since our Paget workshops were established in 1978.   

We’re a dynamic, talented and driven team of professionals; across a broad range of Trades, Support, Leadership and Technical disciplines - working alongside our customers to deliver their asset performance strategies.  

With a focus on the delivery of maintenance shutdowns, projects and ongoing maintenance support, particularly to the coal and coal handling industries throughout the Mackay and Central Queensland Regions; we service our local coal Ports, mine sites throughout the Bowen Basin, the Nth Queensland metal province, and the South Australian copper region.   

In short, UGL can take you wherever you want to go and we offer our people the opportunity to establish and grow our careers for the long-term, delivering exciting and challenging projects.
