FMS Group has marked a milestone year by taking home the coveted Safety Foremost Award at the 2025 Resource Industry Network (RIN) Awards, underlining its commitment to workplace safety and industry leadership. This win is the third RIN accolade for the company, following previous victories in the ‘Connecting in the Community’ and ‘Champion Culture’ categories.
“This is certainly the cherry on top of a milestone year for FMS Group, as we celebrate 20 years of business,” a representative said.
Founded in 2005 in Central Queensland as CQ Field Mining Services, FMS Group has grown to become a provider of choice for major clients across the Bowen Basin. The company now operates six specialist divisions, delivering trades and maintenance solutions across diesel, field services, projects, workshops, electrical, and onsite machining.
By 2013, FMS expanded internationally with PNGFMS in Papua New Guinea, specialising in diesel hydraulic excavator and shovel repairs, employing highly skilled tradespeople to provide quality maintenance and breakdown services across multiple mine sites.
In 2017, the Western Australia division began operations and quickly expanded across the Goldfields, Southwest, and Pilbara regions. FMS now services mining, oil and gas, marine, construction, and renewables sectors, supported by an in-house Infrastructure, Maintenance and Projects (IMP) Division.
Growth continued with the introduction of Safety Lift Solutions (SLS) and an engineering department in 2020, followed by the opening of a state-of-the-art workshop in Mackay in 2022, boosting turnkey shutdown capabilities. The company rebranded to FMS Group in 2023, consolidating CQ Field, WA Field, and PNG Field under one banner, and launched its products division, partnering with Ground Force and TowHaul.
This year, FMS Group has further expanded with a Brisbane corporate office in Fortitude Valley and launched HAWC, reflecting its commitment to innovation alongside its extensive industry legacy.
Judges at the 2025 RIN Awards praised FMS Group’s leadership in safety.
“Fatigue is an insidious risk for our industry and our winner, FMS Group, is making real change to address this risk.
“They are looking at change for the industry, not just the operations within their business. The initiative is beyond the business; it is an industry-wide initiative looking at risks across the sector.
“The results speak for themselves with impressive compliance statistics and more importantly, a workforce that has consistent shifts and well-planned, safe rostering.”
With three RIN Awards under its belt and 20 years of industry excellence, FMS Group continues to set the standard in safety, innovation, and trusted service across various mining and industrial sectors in the region.
