Meet the engineers behind Black Square Engineering

Black Square Engineering is an independent Australian engineering consultancy providing mechanical, structural, electrical, and civil expertise across high-risk and industrial sectors.

 

With offices in Brisbane, Townsville, and Adelaide, we support clients nationwide with design, certification, inspection, and compliance services tailored to operational realities.

 

Unlike many firms, we maintain a high ratio of RPEQ-accredited engineers across our team—ensuring that qualified professionals are directly involved in every stage of your project. This means faster turnaround times, fewer handovers, and technically sound outcomes you can trust.

 

Our clients include infrastructure owners, plant operators, legal professionals, and insurers who need responsive, accountable engineering support without compromise.
