Our
Story
Frontline Automation is a proud, Western Australian-owned and operated company, established in 2022 and based in Port Hedland to provide locally based engineering consultancy services to the North West and Pilbara Regions.
​
Ever since first arriving in Port Hedland in 2007, Frontline Automation's founder and director Chris Mansfield noted the distinct lack of representation and support in the region from critical control system service providers and the reluctance of the 'typical consultant' to leave the comfort of their Perth-based office . Having himself built a reputation for not being afraid to get his hands dirty and for going above and beyond to achieve quality, reliable outcomes for his clients, Chris founded Frontline Automation to break the mould of your typical engineering consultancy, taking a more hands on, collaborative and sustainable approach to deliver engineering services and support directly to the Frontline of client operations.
​
Frontline Automation are not your typical engineering consultancy. At Frontline Automation we are most at home on-site, out in the field getting our hands dirty, not hidden away in some remote office. We are visible, approachable and work on-site, side-by-side with your people to share ideas, upskill and promote knowledge retention.
​
As a locally-owned and operated company, we understand the specific challenges and opportunities facing businesses in our community and are dedicated to supporting the growth and success of our community whilst building strong, long-term relationships with our clients.
​
We pride ourselves on our commitment to customer satisfaction and strive to provide personalised, reliable, pragmatic, and cost-effective solutions that meet or exceed the unique needs of each of our clients.
​
So if you're looking for a trusted and reliable automation and control systems partner that can help you stay ahead of the curve and achieve your goals whilst supporting local businesses and community, contact us today and experience the #FrontlineAdvantage.
