Leadership
Established in 1990 by brothers David and Andrew McMahon, McMahon Services has grown from a team of 12 into a truly national business.
Our family heritage is an instrumental part of our identity and is demonstrated by our unwavering commitment to deliver our core values, across all aspects of our operations, every day.
David McMahon - Managing Director 
With over 30 years’ experience in the demolition, asbestos removal, site remediation and earthmoving, David has established McMahon Services as the leading organisation in these fields.
David has been instrumental in developing the professional team responsible for project tendering and management, and attaining the respected position McMahon Services holds in the construction industry.
David was one of the front-runners in establishing the procedures and techniques for the safe removal of asbestos in buildings, working in close liaison with the South Australian Department of Labour. He also over spent 2 years as the employer representative on the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission Standards Development Standing Committee.
Under David’s direction McMahon Services has gained third party accreditations to AS/NZS ISO 9001:2008 (Quality Management Systems), AS/NZS ISO 14001: 2004 (Environmental Management Systems) and AS/NZS 4801:2001 (Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems), which covers all activities undertaken by McMahon Services.
As Project Director for topical construction projects such as demolition of the former John Martins building (12 levels, 26 weeks - $5.6 million), and the Rehabilitation of Islington Railyards (12hA highly contaminated site - $6.5 million), David has proved his ability to achieve outstanding results for all stakeholders.
In 2011 David sat as President of the Master Builders Association of South Australia, the peak body representing all sectors of the building and construction industry.

Andrew McMahon - Director / General Manager 
Andrew has been an integral in the success of McMahon Services, acting as General Manager since 1990 managing projects throughout Australia with a combined value in excess of over $100 million.
Andrew has vast experience in the demolition, remediation and earthmoving and environmental marine industry but concentrates mainly on asbestos removal.
With a unique approach to asbestos removal, Andrew has developed various innovations such as the patented “Ceiling Access Unit”.
Andrew has also trained an asbestos survey crew in the use of the RICO Robotic Camera for detection of asbestos debris in air conditioning systems.
This highly technical camera / video allows a photographic survey of the ductwork prior to asbestos decontamination with a video produced after decontamination.
Through Andrew’s leadership and extensive knowledge of asbestos, McMahon Services has procured contracts with the University of Adelaide, Royal Adelaide Hospital, Adelaide Festival Theatre, ETSA’s Osborne Power Station and numerous defence facilities.
Andrew has also been instrumental in the Federal Government's Strategic Indigenous Housing and Infrastructure Program in the Northern Territory. Under Andrew's leadership, McMahon Services has become part of the Territory Alliance helping to deliver 934 new houses, 415 rebuilds and 2500 refurbishments across 72 remote Indigenous communities in the Territory by 2013.
