Board of Professional Engineers of Queensland
Our Principal Engineers are registered with the Board of Professional Engineers of Queensland as registered Professional Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ).
The Board of Professional Engineers of Queensland administers the Queensland Professional Engineers Act 2002 (The Act). The Act provides for the registration of professional engineers to practise in Queensland. Registration as a professional engineer of Queensland (RPEQ) is recognition of the qualifications and competencies of an engineer. Engineers occupy positions of trust and responsibility within the community, with industry and across government. An engineer plays a critical role in the design and construction of major infrastructure as well as providing critical engineering services to the mining and growing resources sector in Queensland. Engineers aren’t limited to the building sector. They play an important role in the construction manufacturing sectors. There are currently 25 areas of engineering in Queensland ranging from aeronautical, chemical to marine engineers. By having a registration system this ensures a high standard of engineering exists within Queensland. The Act prohibits persons who are not registered from providing professional engineering services in Queensland. The only exception is for individuals who practise under the supervision of registered professional engineers registered in the same area of engineering. The Act provides a process for persons who are aggrieved by the conduct of a registered professional engineer to lodge a complaint about that engineer’s professional conduct.
