About Ferrum Engineering

Real-World Experience. Practical Solutions. Engineering that Delivers.

At Ferrum Engineering, we don’t just design solutions – we build them, test them, and make sure they work in real-world conditions. Whether it’s in mining, construction, or automotive industries, we know that downtime costs money, inefficiencies cause frustration, and unreliable parts put operations at risk.

That’s why we take a hand-on-approach to every challenge – an approach that comes from decades of experience on the tools, not just behind a desk. 

Meet the Founder: Glen Muller

With 20 years of hands-on industry experience, I’ve worked in workshops, mine sites, and the field, diagnosing, repairing, and designing solutions that make tough jobs easier.

Starting out in the Australian Defence Force as a Fitter and Turner, I built a strong foundation in precision engineering and problem-solving under pressure. Over the years, I gained certifications as a Diesel Fitter and Automotive Electrician and later completed a Diploma in Engineering—combining technical expertise with practical, on-the-ground knowledge.

But here’s what really sets Ferrum Engineering apart: I understand firsthand the frustrations of using the wrong tool for the job, dealing with parts that don’t fit properly, and working with equipment that should be better. That’s why everything we design is built with the end user in mind.

What Makes Ferrum Different?

  • Hands-On Engineering – Unlike many others, I’ve been in the trenches. I don’t just design solutions—I test them in real-world applications to make sure they work when it matters most.
  • Practical, No-Nonsense Problem Solving – I don’t over-engineer things or add complexity where it’s not needed. My focus is always on simple, effective, and durable solutions.
  • Reducing Downtime & Costs – I know that waiting for replacement parts, dealing with constant breakdowns, or struggling with inefficient designs wastes time and money. That’s why I create solutions that last longer and perform better.
  • Custom Tooling & Equipment – I take the home-made, on-site fixes that work and turn them into professionally designed, tested, and certified tools that meet Australian Standards.

What Ferrum Does Best:

  • 3D Printing & Prototyping – Need a custom part? We bring ideas to life with rapid prototyping and precise, small-batch manufacturing.

  • Custom Tool & Part Design – If you’ve been modifying tools on-site to get the job done, let’s turn that into a purpose-built, engineered solution.
  • Engineering Consulting – Have an ongoing issue? We analyse, redesign, and improve to help businesses work smarter, not harder.
