✨ Volunteer Week Spotlight – Be Your Own Boss (BYOB) ✨

As part of Volunteer Week, and in line with this year’s theme “Your Year to Volunteer”, we’re proud to shine a spotlight on the incredible mentors supporting Rockhampton’s Be Your Own Boss program!

All BYOB mentors are from local businesses who have generously volunteered their time 🤝 to support aspiring microbusiness owners — sharing practical knowledge and real-world experience on what it takes to start, run, and sustain a business.

Since the workshops began in March, mentors have delivered sessions covering:
✅ Business planning
📱 Social media
📣 Marketing
🤝 Networking
💬 Customer service

Their guidance is helping participants build confidence, skills, and strong foundations for their business journeys.

And the journey isn’t over yet! We still have three more business mentors to come, plus an exciting opportunity for our BYOB participants to showcase and sell their products at a local marketplace at the end of the program. 🎁

💙 We’d like to sincerely thank all our mentors for their time, generosity, and commitment to supporting local entrepreneurs:

Last week, Nathaniel Veenstra (Principal Engineer) presented at the IPWEA Queensland & Northern Territory Central & North Queensland Conference. Nathaniel shared some insights into the contract administration of the 2022 Alliance Airlines airside expansion works at Rockhampton Airport. 🛬

The project proved to be an excellent example of the capability of the industry right here in Central Queensland, showing that with the right approach, unique and technical projects can be tackled regionally with local partners. 👷‍♂️🤝👷‍♀️

Thank you to Bundaberg Central Rotary Club for having us at the The University of Newcastle, Australia's Bundaberg National Science and Engineering Challenge this week! We were pleased to be sponsors, with Ivor Litkie (Principal Designer), Chris Erlangsen (Senior Engineer) and Elise Pearson (Engineer) each attending throughout the week to encourage the next generation of engineers and designers. 🧠📐🏗️💡

On Monday our own Ivor Litkie, Principal Designer, joined CQUniversity Australia's Benjamin Taylor and Bundaberg Regional Council's David Baldry to judge the structural bridges section.

High school students were tasked with building bridges out of two pieces of plywood, ice cream sticks, sticky tape and blue tack. A metal car on wheels then had to roll across with different weights... without their bridge failing!

Well done to all the primary and high school students who took part throughout the week, and to the teams from Rotary and Uni of Newcastle for putting on such a wonderful event. Thank you also to Rotary for sharing these photos of Monday's activities.

A few weeks ago our Director, Lachlan McMurtrie had the privilege of presenting a Carers Queensland Be Your Own Boss (BYOB) workshop. The BYOB program supports people with disability to develop their own microbusinesses, enabling participants to earn an income, increase self-confidence and achieve greater independence.

Lachlan's workshop included practical tips on creating a business plan, featuring examples from Lachlan's own (fictional) venture - Lachlan the Muffin Man. While he won't be pivoting careers into baking anytime soon, he was certainly happy to take on the role for a day and even went equipped with his own supply of muffins to share. 👨‍🍳🧁

Thank you to Carers Queensland for inviting Lachlan to take part in this invaluable program.

Engineers Amy and Ken were each out on the road on separate projects for North Burnett Regional Council until they both pulled over at the exact same spot near Biggenden to make use of the reception. Proof that our engineers are always on the same wavelength (literally)! 🤜🤛

It’s been a busy few months behind the scenes at MCE. We wanted to take a moment to introduce the new Senior Engineer and Senior Civil Designers who have joined our team in our Rocky office and newly-established Yeppoon office (which we’ll share more about soon!).

👋 Daniel Cagnola is a Senior Engineer who joined our Contract Administration team in February. Daniel is a seasoned project manager with 15 years in civil construction, primarily supporting councils and Department of Transport and Main Roads projects.

👋 Kathryn Payne also joined our team in February as Senior Civil Designer. Kathryn brings more than 20 years of industry insight, with a significant background at Transport and Main Roads.

👋 Jason Gustafson is a Senior Civil Designer based in our Yeppoon office. He joined us in January after 21 years at Livingstone Shire Council, bringing his outstanding local design expertise.

We’ve been so pleased to welcome them aboard!

The rain (and flooding) has arrived throughout Queensland once again – and our teams are already on the job capturing the impacts on roads and infrastructure.
🌧️

A lot goes into disaster recovery, and we offer support to Local Government Authorities in all aspects:
✅ Post-disaster inspections and damage assessments.
✅ Emergent works.
✅ Immediate restoration works.
✅ REPA works.
✅ Development and submission of QRA Form 4s.
✅ Betterment projects.
✅ Reconstruction works.
✅ Project management services to facilitate disaster recovery.

We live and work in the regions, and we’re proud to ensure recovery is as smooth as possible for our communities.

📸📍Alf Larson Park, Miriam Vale

Something we love about being based regionally is seeing the impact in our community first-hand. Recently a member of our team was pleased to let their little explorers enjoy a stop in Miriam Vale at Alf Larson Park - one of our previous projects. 🛝🌳🤸🏻‍♂️

We looked after planning, detailed design and project management of this multimillion dollar redevelopment a few years ago - and in the time since, it's proven itself an outstanding contribution to the region. It's become a mainstay on the road trip itinerary of families travelling the Bruce Highway, boosting local business and bringing joy to little travellers and Miriam Vale locals alike.
