In the latest in our series of articles focusing on different industries and pathways, we look at engineering.
The engineering industry plays a pivotal role in shaping the modern world, encompassing a vast array of disciplines such as civil, mechanical, electrical, and software engineering. Hargo Engineering is a local family-owned and operated business providing world-class, high precision and repetition component manufacturing services to the aerospace, defence, automotive, medical and commercial industries across Australia and around the world.
