What Specialist Electrical Engineering Group does

Specialist Electrical Engineering Group (SEEG) is an Australian private electrical engineering firm headquartered in Burpengary, Queensland, founded by Tony Berryman and operating across major Australian infrastructure projects. The company focuses exclusively on high voltage and hazardous area industries, offering seven integrated service modules covering the full project lifecycle: front-end engineering design, construction, hazardous area classification, system studies, testing and commissioning, support services, and electrical safety audits. All designs are RPEQ-certified and compliant with Australian Design Standards; hazardous area work is delivered to AS/NZS 4761, and workshop repairs to AS3800. An internal 'SEEG Skills' competency verification program, combined with IECEx Certified Persons and National Competency Units, underwrites workforce qualification.

SEEG operates a professional services revenue model with bespoke, project-based pricing and direct enterprise engagement. Each project is staffed by engineers, accredited auditors, hazardous-area-trained electricians, instrumentation technicians, and qualified trades integrated into the client team under a dedicated team leader who serves as the single point of accountability, with costs tracked against each deliverable. Notable technical differentiators include RPEQ-certified design sign-off, Queensland Government Electrical Safety Office auditor accreditation (5 high voltage and 6 hazardous area auditors), IECEx Certified Persons, Energex accreditation for large photovoltaic generation audits, and compliance with AS/NZS 4761 and AS3800.

The customer base is concentrated among Australian enterprise resource and infrastructure operators and tier-one contractors, including Queensland Curtis LNG, Australia Pacific LNG, Santos GLNG, Lihir Gold, Gold Coast Light Rail, Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal, Legacy Way, Bechtel, Rio Tinto, McConnell Dowell, Newcrest Mining, Santos, and John Holland. The firm is privately held and founder-owned with approximately 70 staff, does not publicly disclose revenue, and operates only within Australia.
