Founder, Managing Director and Indigenous Australian, Mark Moodie’s vision in establishing IMECNT in early 2019 was not only to form a quality team of highly experienced and motivated professionals, with a broad range of experience, but to provide an alternative pathway for young local and Indigenous Territorians to enter the Mining, Energy and Construction Industries. IMECNT is committed, through Mark’s “Advancement through Technology” initiative, to providing training, mentoring and meaningful employment leading to long term industry retention of local and Indigenous people of the Northern Territory.
IMECNT is a registered Indigenous Company, federally through Supply Nation and in the Northern Territory through Northern Territory Indigenous Business Network (NTIBN).

IMECNT is a relatively new entity, the company being established in early 2019. However, the company boasts a highly experience Senior Management team with over 200 years’ experience in the consulting industry, the majority of which was in the Northern Territory. Our team have serviced a wide range of sectors both in consultancy services and construction management including but not limited to the following:

​

• Mining Sector including both development and operations (above ground and underground

• Major Government Projects for Local, State, Territory and Federal governments

• The private sector including Architects and Developers

• Oil and Gas Industry

• Remote Indigenous Housing and Infrastructure

• Defence Sector

• International Aid Organisations

A core component of IMECNT’s vision is to provide young Indigenous Australians the opportunity to obtain meaningful and sustainable employment. Having worked extensively throughout the NT Mark Moodie (MD), along with Senior Management, have seen the very narrow avenue of opportunity afforded to Indigenous Territorians. Mark has a driving passion to broaden those avenues, through technology, and to give the young people who want “to have a go” the opportunity to do so. The “Advancement through Technology” initiative was born from this passion, and is gaining support with Industry, Government and Indigenous Organisations such as Ironbark.During the past five years there has been exponential advancement of technology in our industry, particularly in the areas of surveying/data acquisition and machine guidance. This advancement has also coincided with the ever-growing difficulty in getting “qualified” people to come to the NT. IMECNT strongly believes that the solution lays in appropriate training and on-site mentoring of young Indigenous Territorians in the use of these advanced technologies/equipment, in particular drones/UAVs.“Advancement through Technology” offers young Indigenous Australians the opportunity to become involved in these Industries at a higher technical level that generally offer higher pay rates and which would not be available otherwise. Experience has shown us that this advanced technology/equipment, in particular drones/UAVs, resonates with young Indigenous people.The use of these technologies, particularly Drone/UAV, is widespread - environmental, archaeological, agricultural, surveillance, heritage, film - the list is endless, thus giving our trained people the independence to follow their dreams and aspirations.IMECNT’s Senior Management have significant experience in Indigenous participation through being directly involved in employing, training and mentoring Indigenous people throughout their careers.
