Experts in Experts In Automation, Control Systems, SCADA & OT Networks
I formed Matrix Engineering in 2009 with the vision of providing complete control systems to the highest standard. Having worked with these systems as an operator, maintainer, and end user, I have seen first-hand that many systems are lacking, with no schematics, lacking wire idents or with no provision of a fully documented system, providing a poor user experience, or lacking longevity.
We believe in systems that are right first time – too often, as an end user, I have seen instances where corners have been cut and shortcuts taken, leading to systems needing to be reworked, often at an excessive cost (or leading to high maintenance costs and extended downtime)
At Matrix Engineering, we provide the best quality systems, at the best value for money, ensuring long-term viability and efficiency.
We identify the total cost of each project at the earliest opportunity, including spares packages and maintenance so there are no surprises further down the line. We provide ongoing, exceptional aftersales support and service to safeguard your investment, reducing or eliminating added expenses down the line.
Through our experienced, multi-skilled staff and specialist partners we have a breadth of knowledge and experience, including electrical design, power systems, smart metering, pneumatic & hydraulic systems, robotics, Building Management Systems, PLC programming and control panels.

Owner and Founder
I began my career in the dairy industry in a multidisciplinary environment including electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, stainless fabrication/welding and PLC experience, before going on to win both the Department for Employment and Learning (Northern Ireland) and Engineering Training Council’s (Northern Ireland) Apprentice of the year awards, the only person to ever have received both awards concurrently.
I later won Gold at WorldSkills regional and UK finals in 2009, reaching the finals of the Vocational Qualification hero awards 2009. Matrix Engineering was formed.
Since then, I have followed a career through multidisciplinary engineering environments, specializing in automation and control, change management and systems integration. I have achieved a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Mechatronics from IT Sligo in 2015 and am the only Gold certified SCADA integrator, located in Northern Ireland, for Ignition by Inductive Automation. I am always seeking ways to further develop my knowledge and expand my skillset.
I formed Matrix Engineering in 2009 with the vision of providing complete control systems to the highest standard. We provide the best systems and value for money for clients across a range of diverse industries.
We believe in delivering systems that are right the first time, minimizing down-time and maximizing the return on your investment. We provide the total cost of our projects at the earliest possible time, including maintenance, spares, and support packages, significantly reducing or eliminating unexpected capital expenditures further down the line.
