Throughout his career, Dennis has directed a number of complex and high-profile projects that have greatly benefited from his knowledge, including works for Alcoa, Rio Tinto Aluminium and BHP’s Olympic Dam.

Matthew’s project experience encompasses a wide range of large-scale projects for high-profile clients including Rio Tinto, Shell Australia and Wafi-Golpu Services Limited. He has also directed projects across both local and international sites including Australia, South Africa, Abu Dhabi, PNG and the Philippines.

As testament to his credibility within the industry, Matthew has authored and co-authored a range of industry publications that have contributed to the understanding of various technical elements in his field.

Benoit’s project related engineering experience includes dam design and stability assessment, Engineer of Record services, numerical modelling of complex soil-structure interaction problems, evaluation of bearing capacity and settlement of shallow and deep foundations, pile group analysis, ground anchor design installation and testing, soil nailing and anchored wall design, settlement prediction, development and management of monitoring programs.

Benoit has worked for projects across Australia, France, New Caledonia, the Middle East and Vanuatu.

Celeste’s early experience was gained predominately in stormwater design, her demonstrated water resources skills are applied to modelling and design of associated hydraulic structures including spillways, sediment basins, road culverts and energy dissipation structures. She is also experienced in developing erosion and sediment control plans for large earthwork projects.

Recently, Leis has delivered a detailed design package to support the continuation of mining operations at a remote site. Prior to this, he undertook a secondment role as a Project Lead in a Client team delivering capital improvement works for a major mining company. Both roles required the effective management of Stakeholders as well as the ability to adapt to evolving scope requirements and financial constraints in order to deliver the expected outcomes.
