Standards build strength.

Everybody has standards…. do you know what yours are?

Some “standards” in our life are engineering/technical standards. These drive our outputs.

Other standards are behavioral, ethics, or principles. These drive our interactions with others.

I believe in credibility beyond credentials.

An engineering or ‘procedural’ qualification (law, accounting, IT, project management) is just the beginning of your journey.

Who do I work with?

I work with a wide range of people in the engineering sector including:

Project Engineers

  • Pipeline Engineers

  • Graduate Engineers

  • Engineers new to Australia

  • Engineers new to the Pipeline Industry

Specialist Engineers

  • Mechanical Engineers

  • Process / Chemical Engineers

  • Piping Engineers

  • Civil Engineers

Scientists & Specialists

  • Materials Scientists

  • GIS Specialists

  • Project Managers

  • Technical Regulators

  • Construction Personnel

The new style modern engineering is about collaboration and community, less about calculations (though, getting those right still counts!).

Let’s engineer your future by recognizing your experiences to clarify your engineering skills in the context of capabilities and competencies.

I’ll guide you through the complexities of today's engineering landscape to find your pathway towards success.

How I can help you…

1. Academy

2. Advisory

I think that risk, quality and competency naturally interact. The concepts are almost inseparable. Manage one well, and the others should follow. Improve one and the others naturally improve too.

I work in all pieces of the pie, through facilitation, training and coaching/mentoring programs.

So, whichever one I can help you with, the results are tripled.

About me

With over 20 years of experience in infrastructure and civil engineering, and an MBA in hand, I founded Sage Consulting Solutions Pty Ltd in 2016 to provide expert engineering consulting services to the infrastructure industries, including strategic facilitation, training in Australian Standards and business processes, as well as career coaching.

As a Fellow and CPEng(Exec) with Engineers Australia and a volunteer on various industry committees, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table.

When I'm not working, you can find me pushing myself to the limit in endurance running and triathlon events, having completed dozens of marathons, ultramarathons, five full Ironman triathlons, and even the 89km Comrades running event in South Africa, twice.

Next up is another ultra event of some sort (which translates at least, and probably many more than, 5 hours of exercise in one day).

Embarking on an ambitious journey, I have been undertaking a project to write exactly 100 words on an (almost) daily basis (“100WAD”) since 2019. My goal is to continually sharpen my skills and share my expertise, both within and beyond the realm of engineering. Follow my journey as I tackle the #100words challenge and uncover new insights along the way.
