The Marine Engineering (ME) team provides professional engineering and project management services to both internal and external customers, for the design and delivery of marine infrastructure throughout the state of Queensland. It is analogous to an engineering consultancy practice as it operates under a 100% cost recovery business model (that is, the business unit is funded through fee-for-service revenue and is not corporately funded) and therefore all staff are accountable to meet productivity targets.
