The Full Form of SMEC is Snowy Mountains Engineering Corporation.

SMEC is a global engineering, management and development consultancy delivering innovative solutions for our clients and partners.

Leveraging our 70-year history of delivering nation-building infrastructure, we provide technical expertise and advanced engineering services to resolve complex challenges across the project lifecycle, from initial concept, feasibility, planning and design through to construction, commissioning, and operation and maintenance.

Through our network of global specialists collaborating with local partners, we connect you with the best teams and capabilities to deliver fit for purpose and sustainable solutions. Our design leadership and value-driven partnerships have been recognised by numerous global and industry awards.

Collaborating closely with our parent and sister companies, we have the flexibility to operate in global markets either individually or in partnership to drive greater value for our clients.

In Australia, SMEC’s core service offering covers the lifecycle of a project across urban renewal, transport design and energy sectors. Last year marked 70 years since our origins in 1949, when construction began on the iconic Snowy Mountains Hydroelectric Scheme, our namesake project and one of the civil engineering wonders of the modern world.

Creating an Australian landmark would not have been possible without strong technical expertise, advanced engineering and a culture of delivery, collaboration and innovation. We are incredibly proud to work on the Snowy Mountains Hydroelectric Scheme Expansion Project (Snowy 2.0) to undertake the Feasibility Study. Snowy 2.0 will be the second largest pumped hydro project in the world, increasing generation capacity by 2000 MW and providing 175 hours of energy storage.
