DIRECTOR

Michael has dedicated his career to partnering with local governments and regional communities across Far North Queensland, delivering complex civil infrastructure while helping councils strengthen the way they plan, procure and deliver projects. His expertise spans civil works, project management, contract administration, superintendent services, business improvement and disaster recovery, allowing him to bridge the gap between engineering outcomes and organisational capability.

With extensive experience leading disaster recovery and resilience programs across Northern Queensland, Michael understands that rebuilding communities requires more than replacing damaged assets. It requires thoughtful planning, strong leadership and a long-term commitment to empowering local governments to respond, recover and grow stronger after every challenge.

For Michael, successful projects are built through strong partnerships, not transactions. By becoming an extension of his clients' teams, maintaining a consistent presence on site and fostering collaborative relationships across every level of a project, he creates an environment where people work together to overcome challenges, protect public investment and deliver infrastructure that provides lasting value to regional communities.

DIRECTOR

When Northern Civil Solutions was established, Tess saw an opportunity to help create something different. 

Leading the business operations while supporting project delivery, Tess ensures every part of the organisation reflects the standards and values Northern Civil Solutions was founded on. She believes the best projects are built on trust, clear communication and a team that genuinely cares about the outcome, not just the contract.

For Tess, success isn't measured by completed milestones or financial results. It's measured by the relationships built, the confidence clients place in the team, and the positive legacy every project leaves behind. Her passion for people, purpose and community continues to shape a business where clients know they'll be listened to, supported and represented with integrity from beginning to end.
