What Elevate Consulting Engineers does

Elevate Consulting Engineers is an Indigenous-owned civil infrastructure consultancy headquartered in Brisbane, Queensland, with a second office in Daylesford, Victoria. Founded in 2020 by directors Sean Whitfield and Jason Marshall — who together bring more than three decades of combined sector experience — the firm delivers three integrated service lines: civil engineering design, CAD drafting, and project delivery. Engagements span concept and detailed design for bulk earthworks, stormwater management, roadworks, intersections, retaining walls, boardwalks, pavement design, sewer and water reticulation, and erosion and sediment control, with project oversight covering tender preparation, contract administration, construction inspections, engineering certification, and as-constructed documentation.

The firm operates as a professional services consultancy using established engineering software — AutoCAD, Civil 3D, AutoTurn, 12d, 12d Synergy, and Bluebeam Revu — to produce design deliverables and construction documentation. It is ISO 9001:2015 certified, holds Registered Professional Engineer (RPE) accreditation in Queensland and Victoria, and is certified by Supply Nation and Black Business Finder as an Indigenous-owned business, with additional listings on ICN Gateway and Local Buy.

Commercially, Elevate monetises via project-by-project professional services engagements with quote-based, multi-year contract pricing. Its customer base is concentrated in the public sector — including Australian Department of Defence sites (Lavarack Barracks, Amberley RAAF Base, Salt Ash Air Weapons Range, Singleton Military Area, Victoria Barracks), Economic Development Queensland, and multiple local councils — supplemented by a small number of repeat private property developers. The firm distributes services through direct enterprise engagement, leveraging director-level relationships, public-sector procurement directories, and Indigenous business certifications to source opportunities.

Expansion highlights4 records

Regional players

• Beca: Asia-Pacific engineering consultancy (headquartered in New Zealand) with Australian operations in transport, water, and built environment. Comparable in offering civil design and project delivery but geographically anchored to APAC and not directly competing in all of Elevate's state-level work.

Broad incumbents

• AECOM: Global infrastructure consulting firm with a large Australian practice in transport, water, environment, and civil infrastructure design. Competes for the same local, state, and federal government infrastructure work, including defence-related projects.
• GHD: Australian-founded global engineering, architecture, and environmental consulting firm with deep local government and transport infrastructure credentials. Directly competes for council and road/transport civil engineering work across QLD, VIC, and NSW.
• Arup: Global engineering consultancy with Australian offices delivering civil, structural, and infrastructure design for government and private clients. Overlaps with Elevate on road, urban development, and defence-adjacent infrastructure work.
• Jacobs: Global professional services firm with substantial Australian critical infrastructure and defence portfolios. Competes for the same Australian Department of Defence and major programme work that Elevate currently services as a smaller specialist partner.
• Stantec: North American-headquartered engineering consultancy with a sizeable Australian practice covering water, transport, and community development. Competes for local council and state government civil infrastructure work across Australia.
• Aurecon: Large Asia-Pacific engineering and infrastructure advisory firm providing multidisciplinary civil engineering, project management, and advisory services. Listed on Elevate's website as a partner and competes for many of the same government, defence, and infrastructure mandates across Australia and New Zealand.
• Cardno (now part of Stantec): Legacy Australian-headquartered engineering and environmental consultancy historically focused on transport, water, and land development across QLD, NSW, and VIC. Strong direct overlap with Elevate's civil and roads infrastructure service lines.
• WSP: Global professional services consultancy with a major Australian presence across transport, property, and earth/water engineering. Competes for the same state and federal infrastructure programmes Elevate targets.
• SMEC: Established Australian-headquartered engineering consultancy (now part of Surbana Jurong) delivering transport, water, and urban development civil infrastructure. Competes directly for state government and council infrastructure projects in Elevate's served geographies.
