ControlX Engineering designs, programs and commissions control systems for plants, machines and infrastructure across the Hunter, and works remotely for clients elsewhere in NSW.

Since 2021 we have worked for around forty organisations, most of them more than once: councils, a port, water and property operators, chemical, food and pharmaceutical plants, machine builders and electrical contractors.

The team

Site engineers

Fault finding, commissioning and panel modifications, on site across the Hunter.

Software engineers

SCADA, dashboards, plant data and machine software. Mostly delivered remotely.

Electrical design

Schematics, panel design and safety circuits, drawn for your panel builder and electrician.

Alex Sharikov, director and lead engineer. Founded ControlX in 2021 after 17 years in controls and automation. He scopes and quotes the work and leads the larger designs.

Licensed electrical work stays with your electrician, or one we bring in. We work alongside them.

How a job runs

Call, look, quote, do. Small jobs are billed by the hour against a published rate card and usually take one to five days. Bigger jobs get a written scope with exclusions before you commit. Every job ends with a note of what changed and a backup you keep. PLC programs and screens carry a 12-month warranty.
