Whether you need procedures qualified, a quality system certified, an independent audit, or someone to untangle a dispute β I've most likely seen the problem before.
When you engage me, you get me β not an account manager and a junior engineer doing the actual work.
I work directly with project teams, fabrication managers, and engineering leads to understand the actual problem β not just the symptom. Most engagements start with a conversation. I'll ask blunt questions, give you a straight assessment, and tell you what I think it'll take to fix.
I'm happy working on a short-scope basis β a single procedure qualification, a pre-audit gap analysis, or a one-day site review. Equally, I've supported companies through multi-year quality system implementations and ongoing embedded engineering roles. The scope is whatever the project actually needs.
I operate across Australia and internationally. Remote advisory work is possible for many services β site visits are arranged where the work requires physical presence.
Practical welding engineering services delivered by someone who has spent a career doing the work, not just advising on it.
Development and qualification of WPS, PQR, and WQT to Australian and international standards.
Gap analysis, system development, and pre-audit preparation for ISO 3834 Parts 2, 3, and 4.
Third-party welding quality audits for fabricators, contractors, and project owners.
Technical expert services for welding-related disputes, insurance claims, and litigation.
Practical, industry-focused training for welding supervisors, inspectors, and engineers.
Dedicated welding engineering resources for projects needing technical oversight.
Across Australia and internationally, across sectors where welding quality genuinely matters.
Structural steel fabricators, pressure vessel manufacturers, and engineering workshops seeking to formalise procedures, achieve certification, or resolve a compliance problem.
Construction contractors, EPC firms, and project management organisations that need embedded welding engineering expertise for the duration of a specific project.
Mining companies, energy operators, and infrastructure owners requiring independent oversight of fabrication quality, supplier audits, or failure investigation.
Solicitors, barristers, and insurers requiring an independent welding engineering expert for technical reports, failure analysis, or court and tribunal proceedings.
Overseas fabricators seeking to qualify for Australian project supply chains, and international project owners requiring Australian standards expertise.
Federal and state government agencies and defence contractors requiring welding engineering support on regulated or highly scrutinised fabrication projects.
