Our Team
Work with some of the industry's most experienced and dedicated engineers and technicians
As Chief Engineer, Grant manages the engineering methodology adopted across STA and is responsible for all the RPEQ, BSB, and senior engineering staff activities. Grant launched his engineering career with STA back in 2003, while finishing his BE (Civil). This was followed by a stint in the UK working on a diverse range of projects before rejoining STA in 2008. Shortly afterwards, he became chartered (CPEng MIEAust), registered as a RPEQ, and completed his MBA. He has a practical, commonsense approach to engineering, and ensures all clients get designs that are standards compliant and cost effective to build. Grant spends his weekends with family and friends, playing tennis, fishing, cycling, reading, and watching ALL the sports.

Stefan joined STA in October 2011. With more than two decades’ engineering experience, Stefan leads the Building Hydraulics team, driving innovation in pipework articulation and structural preventative protection. His team works hard to ensure clients get top quality, customised designs in reasonable time frames for an affordable price. When he’s not busy leading his team, Stefan is almost certainly playing sport, from soccer (he used to compete at a high level!) and 8-ball, to golf and tennis. He also enjoys the beach, mountain hikes, and dropping into local cafes for a well-earned coffee and danish.

Brenton has an Associate Degree in Engineering (Civil) and joined the team in 2010.

The Residential Structures team are responsible for the structural design of many components within a dwelling to ensure structural adequacy and compliance with Australian Standards and Industry regulatory bodies. Although a lot of the hard work gets covered by plasterboard and cladding in the end product, Brenton’s team take pride in producing economical, practical, and efficient structural design solutions that are tailored to clients’ needs. Outside of work, Brenton loves socialising and enjoying local restaurants and bars. He’s also an avid DIYer with a passion for all things property and renovation.
