OUR VISION /
To unlock the transformative potential of automation in operational technologies for our clients.
Through development of engineering capability, we look to prepare the future leaders in technology.
OUR MISSION /
Empowering businesses to enhance productivity and drive business growth through operational technology digitalisation, industrial automation, and workforce development.
WE PROVIDE /
Consultation services to digitally create, connect, and implement the infrastructure associated with Operational Technology systems used to enable industrial automation, including computer, storage, and connectivity solutions (whether physically, on-premises or in a virtual cloud) to enable integration of OT systems to client corporate systems.
Consultation and advisory services to clients in relation to selection, design, development, and implementation of industrial automation hardware and software technologies and associated infrastructure, processes, and effective operation and reliability of these technologies.
WE DEVELOP /
Develop, test, commission, and support industrial automation software used in Operational Technologies (OT) including Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), Remote Terminal Units (RTU), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, Human machine interfaces (HMI), and Intelligent Electronic Devices (IED).
We are passionate about developing the capability of young engineers by providing structured learning, mentoring & development opportunities through on-the-job & formal training

SAFETY /
Workplace health and safety is an integral part of everything we do at Tier Sixteen. We value our people and emphasise environmental safety for anyone who walks through the door.
By educating our people, involving everyone and creating a commitment to safety, we can reduce injuries and accidents.
CYBER SECURITY/
The functioning of Australia’s economy and society is underpinned by our critical infrastructure assets and essential services. However, geopolitical tensions and heightened cyber threats mean Australia’s critical infrastructure is increasingly under threat.
The Security of Critical Infrastructure Act (SOCI Act) and the Australian Energy Sector Cyber Security Framework (AESCSF) are both pivotal regulatory structures aimed at bolstering the resilience and security of Australia’s critical infrastructure sectors.
While the SOCI Act provides a broad regulatory framework addressing various risks, including cyber-attacks, the AESCSF specifically targets cyber security threats within the energy sector.
