BPEQ 90th Anniversary: Celebrating RPEQs and their achievements

Setting the standard of engineering: a national scheme for the registration of engineers

Case note: Board disciplines registered engineer

Federal Budget 2020-21

Can the Board give RPEQs and members of the public legal and technical advice?

I had the privilege of giving an address to the plenary session at the IPWEAQ State Conference, speaking about the benefits of the RPEQ system for the profession and a way forward to create a national scheme for the registration of engineers. Engineering should be no different to other professions that effect the public. Part of being a professional is being accountable to the public by being registered with an independent disciplinary body tasked with scrutinising professional conduct and, if necessary, disciplining professionals for unsatisfactory conduct. This accountability is onerous, but it is precisely this accountability that so greatly maintains and enhances the public’s confidence in the engineering profession. As other states and territories move toward registration schemes for engineers, BPEQ will advocate for the Queensland model to be used elsewhere.

'Part of being a professional is being accountable to the public...'

Now that the state election has taken place and been decided and a cabinet appointed, my fellow Board members and I look forward to continuing to work with Mick de Brenni as Minister for Public Works and Procurement and Minister for Energy, Renewables and Hydrogen. Minister de Brenni continuing as the minister responsible for BPEQ will hopefully allow us to further progress the Board’s strategic priorities and initiatives. Other portfolios relevant to BPEQ and the engineering profession, and which the Board hopes to have productive relationships with, include State Development, Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning; Transport and Main Roads; Regional Development and Manufacturing; and Resources.

In November we marked Remembrance Day. In the research carried out for the 90-year anniversary of BPEQ it was found that a great many RPEQs gave service in major conflicts from the Great War onward. I recently read about a campaign being led by Lieutenant Colonel George Hulse to dedicate a monument for an Australian Army engineer unit that fought at the Battle of Amiens in 1918 overcoming two enemy machine guns. The planned monument is a bridge in Amiens, France, a moving albeit practical monument to engineers.

NAIDOC Week was also marked in November. Grant Maher is an established and well-credentialed structural RPEQ who became the first Indigenous student to graduate from the University of Sydney with a double degree in engineering and commerce. A descendent of the Gumbaynggirr and Biripi people, Grant is committed to helping attract young Indigenous people into a career in engineering. To celebrate NAIDOC Week and support his efforts to attract young Indigenous people into engineering, BPEQ is profiling Grant as one of our great RPEQs in this issue of the e-news.

'... Grant is committed to helping attract young Indigenous people into a career in engineering.'

Also included in this e-news issue is a disciplinary case note concerning unsatisfactory professional conduct of a RPEQ and a snapshot of this year’s Federal Budget.

A word from the Chair

In 2020, BPEQ turns 90. To celebrate this milestone BPEQ is acknowledging the achievements, projects, innovations, discoveries and stories of RPEQs past and present.

In this issue, and in recognition of NAIDOC Week (8-15 November), is featured Grant Maher. Grant is a structural RPEQ who became the first Indigenous student to graduate from the University of Sydney with a double degree in engineering and commerce. A descendent of the Gumbaynggirr and Biripi people, Grant is committed to helping attract young indigenous people into a career in engineering.

Grant tells us about his background, what attracted him to engineering and the work being done to support young Indigenous people in engineering.

I was born in Wollongong but grew up in a small coastal town on the Far-North Coast of New South Wales, to a Scottish mother and Aboriginal father. As a kid I was always interested in maths and science and how things worked. I was first introduced to engineering in Year 10 when I attended the inaugural Engineering Aid Indigenous Engineering Summer School at the University of Sydney in 1998.

This is what really got me interested in the world of engineering and made me focused on achieving my goal of attending the University of Sydney to study engineering – which I did in completing a double degree (BE Civil, Hons) with Commerce in 2004. After starting my career as a structural engineer for Connell Wagner (now Aurecon) I later found a niche area of engineering that really appealed to me, which was within the world of façades and sustainability. I further extended my study completing a Masters Design Science (Sustainable Design) from University of Sydney in 2011.

After working in both consulting and contractor roles for the past 15 plus years, both multi-national and mid-tier/specialist companies, in April this year I have partnered with another successful and highly qualified Indigenous

engineer, Dennis Jose, who’s background is in civil/environment and project management. We have launched our own project management and engineering services consultancy, Jabin Group, with the intention to not only deliver our services across the engineering and construction sector, but to help create and develop opportunities for young Indigenous people to see engineering as a pathway to a successful and fulfilling career. As part of my role at Engineers Australia as chair of the Indigenous Engineers Group, it is to encourage current professional Indigenous engineers to provide a source of information and exposure to Indigenous engineer’s roles and projects throughout the sector, as well as networking and engagement to communities to educate Indigenous kids about what engineering is and how it can help them and their communities as a whole.

'...to help create and develop opportunities for young Indigenous people...'

There is increasing involvement of organisations and programs to assist young Indigenous people to become involved in engineering, and although these have been successful to an extent a lot of them are focused on the study/university engagement and development phase of the engineering journey. During the graduate professional years young Indigenous people are typically incorporated into the company’s standard graduate program, which is where a disconnect between them and the typical company development and structure can occur, particularly those coming from a very remote or regional area not accustomed to urban living and corporate workplace culture.

'...which is where a disconnect between them and the typical company development and structure can occur...'

Where Jabin is looking to improve and develop this is to closely connect young Indigenous professionals or soon-to-be professionals to each other through networking as well as through mentoring and involvement as much as possible with community-based projects. We understand that graduate programs are fantastic systems to develop their understanding and training within the professional environment, however having and working directly with a senior experienced Indigenous engineer such as myself and Dennis would greatly improve their longevity and involvement in the profession. Jabin is developing this style of professional development through partnerships with large consultancies who appreciate and see the opportunity and help that this can provide young new Indigenous people who want to find their way in engineering and construction.

'...having and working directly with a senior experienced Indigenous engineer such as myself and Dennis would greatly improve their longevity and involvement in the profession.'

This year is a celebration of the achievements, projects, innovations, discoveries and stories of RPEQs past and present.  BPEQ encourages RPEQs to share their thoughts –

• What are some of Queensland’s great engineering feats?

• Who was the RPEQ/s who helped deliver the project?

• Are there unsung heroes in the profession?

Jabin is the Yidiny word for the crest of the Cassowary. The Cassowary is the majestic icon of the rainforest country where Dennis was born. As the Cassowary confidently moves forward without fear, Jabin aims to do the same. Constantly moving forward our client’s goals and moving forward Indigenous enterprise in Australia.

At midnight on 12 March 1928 the St Francis Dam in California failed. Several hundred people lost their lives and many more their homes and livelihoods in a disaster considered to be one of the worst civil engineering failures of the 20th Century. The ensuing investigation into the dam’s failure found that human error and poor engineering judgement were contributing factors.

It has been 50 years since the collapse of Melbourne’s West Gate Bridge. 35 men were killed and a further 18 were injured in what remains as Australia’s worst civil engineering incident. Again, the design of the structure was a focus point of the ensuing investigation.

Professor Roger Hawken did not wait for an engineering incident to occur in Queensland. He realised the impact and consequences of engineering failures could be great. He realised that engineering is not something that can be done by anyone. It is something that requires its practitioners to be highly competent and technically proficient. And he realised that the most effective way of ensuring the competency and proficiency of engineers, setting a professional benchmark and protecting the public was through a mandatory registration scheme, backed by an Act of Parliament. Hawken made it his mission for Queensland to adopt a registration scheme for engineers and in 1929, the Queensland Parliament passed the first Professional Engineers Act.

'He realised that engineering is not something that can be done by anyone.'

Registration is accepted and commonplace within many professions – medicine, teaching, law. Indeed, registration is commonly seen as a characteristic of what makes a profession.

Business ethics professor, Daryl Koehn, proposes the following characteristics in defining a professional:

• Are licensed by the state to perform a certain act.

• Belong to an organisation of similarly enfranchised agents that issue standards and/or ideals of behaviour and who discipline one another for breaching these standards.

• Possess so-called ‘esoteric’ knowledge or skills not shared by other members of the community.

• Exercise autonomy over their work, which is not well understood by the larger community.

• Publicly pledge themselves to render assistance to those in need and consequently have special responsibilities or duties not incumbent upon others.

It is important to understand that a registration scheme for engineers – just like the schemes for doctors, teachers and solicitors – does not mean that errors and even accidents will not occur. But public confidence in engineers and their services is based, largely, on an assumption that those practitioners are appropriately qualified and that ‘someone’ is ensuring their practice is of an acceptable standard.

It is the Board’s view that there should be a national scheme, or at least coordination between the states, to register engineers based on the Queensland model.

So how might a national scheme for engineers look and how could it be implemented.

For health practitioners the establishment of a national scheme was introduced from 2008 onward through the Council of Australian Governments. The Health Practitioner Regulation National Law Act 2009 was adopted in each state and territory as state or territory law. The Act establishes regulating entities and a national registration and accreditation scheme for health practitioners and medical students. The Act creates an overarching national body – the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) – which is responsible for the administration of the national scheme.

Setting the standard of engineeringA national scheme for the registration of engineers

BPEQ E-news Issue 73 November 2020

Within AHPRA sits the various boards for the different health fields, including the Medical Board of Australia which registers medical practitioners, develops and approves standards and manages and oversees assessments and investigations referred to it by AHPRA. Beneath the Medical Board of Australia are state and territory boards responsible for making registration and notification decisions about individual medical practitioners.

The objectives of the national scheme are to:

• Provide for the protection of the public by ensuring that only health practitioners who are suitably trained and qualified to practise in a competent and ethical manner are registered.

• Facilitate workforce mobility across Australia by reducing the administrative burden for health practitioners wishing to move between participating jurisdictions or to practise in more than one participating jurisdiction.

• Facilitate the provision of high-quality education and training of health practitioners.

• Facilitate the rigorous and responsive assessment of overseas-trained health practitioners.

• Facilitate access to services provided by health practitioners in accordance with the public interest.

• Enable the continuous development of a flexible, responsive and sustainable Australian health workforce and to enable innovation in the education of, and service delivery by, health practitioners.

As the regulation of professions is within the powers of state and territory governments, the laws around the regulation of health practitioners nationally did not require the Commonwealth to adopt or apply the National Law – for engineers, a national scheme, based on the Queensland model, for the registration of engineers can be created by the states and territories themselves if there is the will. The benefits will be:

• Improved public safeguards and a ready process to investigate and uphold engineering standards.

• Better engineering standards by requiring minimum qualification and competency standards and ongoing professional development.

• Reduced red-tape and fees to allow a more flexible and responsive engineering workforce.

• Achieving status for the profession by distinguishing qualified and competent professionals from the pretenders.

The vehicle to start the process is through the Building Ministers Forum which is already looking at a registration scheme for engineers in the building sector as part of national reforms recommended in the Shergold-Weir Building Confidence Report. But a national scheme must be wider than just for engineers working in the building space. All engineers in all industries have the potential to impact the public and should be held to the same standard.

'But a national scheme must be wider than just for engineers working in the building space.'

From there, draft legislation would be developed and consulted on, with coordination by a national steering committee. Then, state and territory governments would introduce mirror legislation – a Professional Engineer Regulation National Law Act – based on the Professional Engineers Act. This national law act could create a national body, like AHPRA to administer the national scheme, and state-based entities or boards to register engineers, develop and approve standards and manage and oversee assessments and investigations.

This is of course a rudimentary plan for how a national scheme for the registration of engineers would look and be implemented but it is something that could realistically be achieved.

As engineers we occupy positions of trust. We are problem solvers, inventors, creators. Because of our public impact we should hold ourselves and our peers accountable to the public and embrace a regulatory system that sets standard and distinguishes qualified and competent professionals, not just in Queensland but right around Australia.

The RPEQ system sets standard for a national scheme for the registration of engineers.

This is an excerpt of the speech given by BPEQ Chair Dawson Wilkie at the IPWEAQ State Conference.

DAWSON WILKIE

Chair and regional representative

BE Civil, FIE Aust, FIPWEAQ, RPEQ, GAICD, CPEng, EngExec, APEC Engineer

Mr Wilkie was first appointed to the Board as Chair and regional representative in January 2015 and was re-appointed in April 2018. A qualified civil engineer working in private consultancy, Mr Wilkie has worked in the profession for more than 35 years. Graduating from the Queensland Institute of Technology in 1979, Mr Wilkie went on to work with the New South Wales Department of Main Roads and then in local government with Dubbo City Council and Townsville City Council. Mr Wilkie was the Managing Director of a medium-sized construction company and then the Chief Executive Officer at an engineering firm before moving into private consultancy.

6BPEQ E-news Issue 73 November 2020

This was a disciplinary proceeding brought by the Board of Professional Engineers of Queensland (Board) against a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ) (deidentified as D)

D’s Background

D had over nine years’ experience as a RPEQ.

Background of Complaint

In late 2018, the Board received a complaint from the owner of a residential property in Queensland (the Complainant). The Complainant alleged that D had been engaged by the Complainant’s neighbour (N) to certify (in a Form 16) a constructed two metre high concrete and steel retaining wall (the Retaining Wall). The Retaining Wall bordered their respective properties.

The Retaining Wall was built by N and two of his friends. The Retaining Wall was not an approved design. The Retaining Wall was constructed without Council approval. Neither N nor his friends held any qualifications, licences nor did any have building experience. The Complainant alleged the Retaining Wall was defective.

The Board’s Investigation

The Board’s investigation found:

• N constructed the Retaining Wall with two of his friends.

• Following the construction of the Retaining Wall, N engaged a RPEQ (A) to provide a Form 15 design for a retaining wall. A advised N the Retaining Wall would need to be demolished and rebuilt in accordance with A’s design (the design approved by the Council).

• N then attempted to engage A to certify the Retaining Wall (as constructed). A refused to sign a Form 16. The Retaining Wall had not been demolished and rebuilt in accordance with A’s design.

• Following A’s refusal to certify the Retaining Wall, N engaged D’s company to certify the Retaining Wall.

• N provided D with the Form 15 and designs prepared by A along with photographs of the Retaining Wall. D did not attend the property in person to inspect the Retaining Wall.

• Despite the above, D issued a Form 16 inspection certificate.

• D stated he was not aware A’s design had been provided to N on the condition the Retaining Wall was demolished and rebuilt in accordance with the approved design (A’s design).

• Ultimately, D relied on a signed statutory declaration by N. N’s statutory declaration asserted he had constructed the Retaining Wall (including pier depths and footings)) and had done so in accordance with A’s design.

The Board’s expert (who inspected the wall in person) expressed the opinion:

• The statutory declaration and photographs provided to D were not a sufficient and adequate basis for providing a Form 16 given the obvious defects identified in his inspection.

• There was a serious structural deficiency with the Retaining Wall (as constructed). The deficiency would have been readily apparent to D, had D inspected the Retaining Wall.

Issue

The issue before the Board was whether D’s conduct could give rise to a reasonable belief that he failed to achieve the relevant engineering standards in his performance of the ‘professional engineering services’, and accordingly, whether his conduct might constitute ‘unsatisfactory professional conduct’ for the purposes of the Professional Engineers Act 2002 ( Act).

The Board’s Decision

The Board decided to reprimand D under s 73(2)(c) of the Act.

The Board accepted the evidence of the Board’s appointed expert. The Board considered D’s written submissions. The Board considered that D had cooperated fully with the investigation, had expressed remorse and the evidence he provided of how he had changed his work practices as a result.

CASE NOTE

Board disciplines registered engineer

BPEQ E-news Issue 73 November 2020

Lessons for the Profession

RPEQs must be aware of their obligations when providing engineering certifications. RPEQs are reminded of the Board’s Certification by RPEQs Policy.

When certifying building works, RPEQs must inspect the work being certified and satisfy themselves the work has been completed in accordance with the plans / approved design and specifications. RPEQs may delegate inspection to non-RPEQs, however, the RPEQ must exercise their judgement to determine if the delegate is competent to undertake the inspection. Ultimately, RPEQs take full responsibility (through their certification) for the inspections undertaken by others.

A project’s small size or low value will not diminish a RPEQ’s professional responsibilities.

NB: Form 15 and Form 16 certification is not a requirement under the Professional Engineers Act 2002. These forms are required under the Building Regulation 2006 to certify building compliance. However, RPEQs are considered to be competent persons to provide Form 15 and Form 16 certification and in doing so must ensure their conduct meets the standards of the Code of Practice for RPEQs.

BPEQ E-news Issue 73 November 2020

The Board frequently receive enquiries from RPEQs and members of the public seeking advice about professional engineering services in Queensland and about the Professional Engineers Act 2002 (PE Act).

The Board’s legal unit is retained exclusively to advise the Board and its staff. They also conduct prosecutions for offences under the PE Act and conduct disciplinary proceedings against RPEQs. The Board’s legal officers are prohibited from providing legal and technical advice to anyone other than the Board and its staff. The Board does not provide ‘rulings’ on whether the work engineers undertake is a professional engineering service as defined by the PE Act.

'...several reasons why the Board is unable to provide legal or technical advice to RPEQs and members of the public...'

There are several reasons why the Board is unable to provide legal or technical advice to RPEQs and members of the public, including:

Legal officers employed by the Board are government legal officers, their role is limited solely to providing internal advice to the Board.

The Board does not engage any RPEQs for the purpose of providing advice to other RPEQs or members of the public. RPEQs are engaged by the Board (from time to time) to provide advice to the Board (or to carry out work as an expert witness).

Potential conflicts of interests make it inappropriate for the Board’s legal officers and any RPEQs engaged by the Board to provide legal or technical advice to anyone other than the Board.

The Board have a strict policy that its legal officers and any RPEQs it engages do not provide legal or technical advice to third parties (available at www.bpeq.qld.gov.au/provision-of-technical-advice-policy).

'...If you require legal advice, consider obtaining independent legal advice...'

If you require legal advice, consider obtaining independent legal advice from a suitably qualified solicitor who will have a duty of confidentiality towards you. Queensland Law Society operates a referral service that can recommend a suitably qualified solicitor. If you require technical advice, consider obtaining independent technical advice from a suitably qualified RPEQ who can be found by using the RPEQ search function available at www.bpeq.qld.gov.au.
