SMEC is also registered with a number of government ministries in various countries and with Local, State and Federal Government authorities in Australia. SMEC's initial expertise was developed from the work of the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Authority (SMHEA) in the investigation, design and construction of the vast Snowy Mountains Scheme in south-eastern Australia; a multipurpose development recognised as an international engineering landmark. From the early 1960s, those engineering and management skills were also utilised by the Australian Government for major development works overseas and in Australia. By the time SMEC was established as a separate organisation in 1970, its parent organisation (SMHEA) had already acquired a solid reputation in the international consulting field and was operating effectively in several countries in South-East Asia and throughout Australia. Today SMEC's personnel and other resources are being utilized on over 150 projects throughout Australia, Asia, Africa, Countries of the Former Soviet Union, the Middle East and the Pacific, undertaking studies, investigations, design, project implementation and management, and training in a variety of assignments in various individual specialist disciplines.
