Darwin’s trusted industrial electrical, instrumentation and automation company

From remote pump stations to Defence infrastructure and major facilities - we work on the electrical systems that stop everything when they fail.

TEC Automation delivers industrial electrical, automation and instrumentation services across Darwin, Katherine, Tennant Creek and remote Northern Territory.

Founded in 2019 by Ryan and Soraya Smith, we’ve built our reputation on one core thing: showing up, fixing the problem properly and making sure it doesn’t happen again.
