About Us

Hi my names James Rankin founder of Ranx Industrial Services.
With 18 years of hands-on industrial experience, I’ve dedicated my career to solving complex challenges across mining, manufacturing and critical infrastructure.
My journey began as a general household electrician back in 2008 evolved through supervisory and planning roles at major sites across NSW & VIC Gold Mine operation.
Now to drive this business - a culmination of technical mastery, operational leadership and a relentless focus on reliability and precision.
Why I Started Ranx - After 15+ years in mining (Surface and Underground), 3 years in other industrial areas and countless hours calibrating, troubleshooting electrical systems and leading plant shutdowns I saw a gap.
Victoria needed partners who could blend technical skill with adaptive problem-solving. The next generation of industrial contractor!
Ranx was born to fill that gap - delivering tailored solutions that keep operations running smoothly, safely and sustainably.
Located in Bendigo, Victoria Ranx Industrial Services is a trusted provider of specialised industrial solutions.
Founded on the principles of reliability, safety and innovation, we deliver tailored support to mining, manufacturing, water treatment and food processing industries across central Victoria.
We specialise in bridging the gap between complex industrial challenges and seamless execution.
