Engenuity Solutions

What Engenuity Solutions does

Engenuity Solutions is a private Australian multi-disciplinary electrical engineering consultancy headquartered in Robina, Gold Coast, Queensland, founded in 2013 by Phil Hawley and Dr Chris Hawley. The firm delivers end-to-end electrical, instrumentation and control (EI&C) engineering services — including feasibility studies, high voltage engineering, earthing design, electrical and P&ID drafting, renewables and battery energy storage system design and approvals, power system modelling, and full EI&C design — to clients across mining, mineral sands and critical minerals, renewable energy, private HV networks, bulk materials handling, recreation and leisure, water, ports and marine, commercial/industrial, and infrastructure sectors. Notable enterprise and government clients include Rio Tinto (Bell Bay Aluminium), Roy Hill, OceanaGold, Ok Tedi Mining, Samancor, Chemours, Brisbane Airport Corporation, Village Roadshow Theme Parks, Holcim Australia, Surf Lakes, Cape Byron Management, and Gold Coast Water Authority, with project delivery spanning Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, the USA, Egypt, and South Africa.

The company's go-to-market is sales-led direct engagement with enterprise and government clients, supported by content marketing through case studies, articles, and a LinkedIn presence. Revenue is generated primarily through project-based professional services fees for engineering consulting engagements and specialised power system analysis (arc flash studies, protection coordination, load flow, harmonic analysis), with a secondary licensing and deployment stream from its proprietary Energy Maestro integrated energy management and control system for embedded distributed energy resources. Engenuity also maintains a custom asset inspection software tool that integrates with client SAP systems, developed originally for Brisbane Airport Corporation's HV network audit.

The business operates with 11–50 employees and is led by Managing Director Dr Chris Hawley (Chartered Professional Engineer in Australia and New Zealand) with a General Manager (Tom Lawson) and engineering staff. Related entities include Nexus Engineering (a sister company in Papua New Guinea providing local project delivery) and Engenuity Technologies (which owns the Energy Maestro IP). Core strategic partnerships are with Aspec Engineering for structural/civil collaboration and Mineral Technologies for process/mechanical engineering on mining and mineral sands projects. The company holds no externally disclosed institutional investment, holds no patents or formal awards in the source data, and operates without public pricing disclosure, with all engagements priced on a project-specific, quote-based basis.
