RPEQ-signed electrical engineering (RPEQ 14266 | CPEng | NER | MIEAust). If your project needs a design certified, verified, or carried from concept to commissioning by a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland, this is what I do. Registration is verifiable on the BPEQ register.
Every discipline, professionally provided
Electrical Engineering here is the umbrella for the full breadth of skills in the banner above: each is provided in a professional form under the same registered accountability (RPEQ 14266: Electrical; Information, Telecommunications and Electronics), whether engaged as a designer, a certifier, a manager, or a mentor.

Ways to engage
RPEQ certification and sign-off
Your design, my professional responsibility: RPEQ review, verification, and sign-off of electrical and instrumentation designs, data sheets, drawings, and documentation to Queensland requirements.
Design from concept
Full electrical and instrumentation design: from scope of work and basis of design through schematics, calculations, and registers to issued-for-construction work packs.
Site, testing, and commissioning
Pre-FAT, FAT, and SAT testing, hazardous area inspection, commissioning support, and on-site technical troubleshooting for operating facilities.
Product management and delivery
Engineering leadership here also means owning products and delivery, not only designs. For seven years I owned smart electricity, water and gas metering products end to end as Product Manager and Engineer: gathering customer and market requirements, setting roadmaps and managing backlogs, taking hardware, firmware and the head-end software through pattern approval and international certification, and delivering across Australia and New Zealand. Across engineering roles I have led engineers, electricians and subcontractors, managed E&I delivery on international projects (including an E&I team-management secondment to Papua New Guinea), and carried scope, schedule, risk and quality as the engineer accountable for the work. Formal grounding: Graduate Certificate in Project Management (QUT); SAFe (POPM/SSM) and Pragmatic product-management certification.
