Our story

Field Energy Services (FES) is a family-owned, dedicated, high-voltage service company committed to evolution, sustainability, and growth.

We recognised a gap in the market and a need for high-voltage services specialising in switchgear installation, maintenance, repair, and testing across Australia. In addition, we saw an opportunity to provide substation construction and commissioning services for the utilities, rail, and mining sectors throughout Australia.

And hence, FES was established in 2014 by Managing Director & Lead Technician, Dino Melosi, as a one-person team, with an innovative yet sustainable vision to grow and lead the way.

As the industry has evolved over the past 12 years, and the volume of projects investing in high-voltage and sustainable solutions has increased, FES has continued to evolve with it, fluidly adapting, growing, and leading the way as a trusted small business within the industry.

We maintain a strong focus on upskilling our technicians to continually increase capability, knowledge, and efficiency in our work practices, alongside ongoing investment in best-practice technology and testing equipment. We also believe strongly in investing in the next generation of Australian talent, providing young Australians with the opportunity, training, and practical experience to develop their skills and build meaningful careers within the high-voltage industry. By investing in our people, we are not only strengthening our own capabilities but also contributing to the future of the industry in Australia.

We pride ourselves on the journey we have taken so far, our loyalty to our customers, and our record of successful project delivery. Looking ahead, we have a long-term strategy to remain agile, continue to evolve with the industry, and leave a lasting legacy within the high-voltage industry in Australia.
