The AMOG team of consulting engineers, project managers and technicians has been solving big problems for over 30 years.
From our early days as the Australian Marine and Offshore Group in Melbourne, Australia, we have grown into a global network, evolving our capability and resources to meet increasing demand from a range of industries, governments and enterprises. Our reputation is well-earned – thriving in extreme environments, thinking holistically, working smarter and generating change. From the beginning, our approach was to own problems and deliver leading solutions. It still is.
A brief history of AMOG
AMOG stands for “Australian Marine & Offshore Group,” which describes our founding areas of engineering expertise and the organisation’s understandably Australian focus when it first started trading.
Formed in October 1991, AMOG’s 5 founding Principals were; Prof. Andrew Potts, Prof. John Hinwood, Prof. Paul Grundy, Prof. Rob Melchers, and Mr. Malcolm Rowe. The founding principle of AMOG was to provide leading engineering solutions, predominantly in the marine and offshore sectors.
Since then, the company has extended its service offerings to include: infrastructure support (both on and offshore); mining; transport (rail and tunnel); system/process safety engineering; defence; renewable energy; and engineering software.
In parallel, the organisation grew geographically, opening offices in Perth, Australia (1997), Houston, Texas (2006), Bogotá, Colombia (2013), and establishing a presence London, UK, and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Our US and UK offices are still operating.
In 2011, to celebrate the company’s 20th year, AMOG undertook a major rebranding exercise to better reflect the company’s global network and diverse services, building on the success of the AMOG brand.
AMOG continues to be a leading organisation, committed to investing in its people, and in research and development, so that we may continue to provide industry leading engineering services to our clients.
