A Trusted and Established
Name in the Industry
The McCue name has been a cornerstone of Sydney’s Electrical Contracting Industry for over 50 years. Robert (Bob) was the pioneer who introduced the McCue name to the field. After completing his apprenticeship with Starkstroms, where he ascended to lead the switchboard manufacturing division as a third-year apprentice, Bob demonstrated remarkable leadership skills.
During his tenure at Starkstroms, he oversaw and was responsible for the successful completion and commissioning of numerous significant national and state infrastructure projects, including:
- Main Switchboard and Distribution Systems for the Sydney Opera House
- F111 Aircraft Starter Controls for the Royal Australian Air Force
- Systems for the Lucas Heights Nuclear Facility
- Infrastructure at the Kingswood Ammunition Compound
- Submarine Naval Base Switchboard projects
- DC Switchboards for Garden and Cockatoo Islands
- Sydney Electricity Commission Headquarters
Not long after, Bob established his own contracting business, leading to the founding of the McCue Group of companies. Today, JR Electrical continues to honour Bob’s legacy and the tradition of integrating family values into business practices.
