Who we are

We are an emerging, innovative professional services firm of Chartered Engineers and talented technicians servicing East Coast Australia. A cornerstone of our innovation is a reimagined approach to technical competency: our value creation framework.

Founded with purpose

At the origins of the consultancy is a response to one of the industry’s most pressing challenges of the 2020s: poor productivity growth.

Clients are feeling both the rising cost of capital and consultant fees. Consultants are facing tighter margins and the commoditisation of engineering. Founder David Worsley recognised this environment as an opportunity for an agile, innovative consultancy to do things differently.

David views Worsley Consulting Engineers as an opportunity to rethink the business model of engineering consulting. This rethink is focused on value creation and elevating engineers beyond what have become highly commoditised processes.

David is committed to using his position to advocate for the engineering industry and to see it more widely recognised for the critical contributions it makes to society. He recognises the vital role the profession plays in supporting society’s adaptation to climate change.

Why we exist

Vision

We aspire to be advocates for our industry and elevate the value of engineering through our work.

Mission

We provide expert technical advice and value-add engineering solutions for the built environment.

Purpose

To help society navigate the pathway to resilient and sustainable cities.

How we work

We believe true engineering value comes from understanding the 'why' behind every decision, not just excelling at 'how'. Our unique value creation framework elevates technical skill by prioritising thinking focused on outcomes that benefit clients and wider society. This means less 'checkbox' engineering and more tailored, insightful solutions.

Our values guide our practice

Quality

Engineering is a highly technical service and its accuracy and clarity is directly related to the value it creates. Each project is led by a Chartered Engineer and must be robustly reviewed, critiqued, and delivered to the highest standard in the industry.
