Our experienced team of engineers, road designers, inspectors and auditors works with infrastructure and mine owners, designers and contractors, and asset managers to deliver results at any stage of a project’s lifecycle.

 

We take a collaborative, flexible approach to contribute specialist technical excellence and practical know-how including via team upskilling. For clients, our priority is finding the best path to achieve their desired outcomes – whether remotely, in-house or on site – across Australia and around the world. Optimising designs, mitigating or resolving planning hurdles, improving construction and mining outcomes, reviewing and recalibrating work, and investigating results – across it all, our team can mobilise at short notice, connecting clients with excellence where it counts.

 

CEA is committed to adding value by:

• Bringing a fresh, independent, expert perspective that solves problems, provides vital new insight to project teams and, when needed, creates a project circuit breaker

• Offering deep skills in bulk earthworks, mass hauls and haul road engineering, alongside strong generalist construction engineering experience, ensuring an integrated approach that works

• Knowing how to effectively enter at any stage of a project and make a practical contribution – with flexibility to travel as needed and work closely with in-house and contractor project teams, remotely or on-the-ground

• Providing specialist assurance as a one-off contribution right through to an ongoing support and verification role

• Delivering a sure solution that upholds relationships and follows through on commitments, seeking to exceed expectations wherever possible.

 

Our Australian-based team has a ‘work anywhere’ approach, having successfully delivered projects across Australia and in New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Peru, Indonesia, Hong Kong and New Caledonia. Our team is highly mobile and can be quickly deployed for short-term assignments. We also have a history of providing team members for long-term roles.
