\nMeet Global Engineering … a small business success story which started in Kingaroy and is now part of Australia’s booming resources sector.<\/p>\n

Shannyn Perry and her husband Lachlan began the engineering and construction services contracting company as a home-based business in July 2011, and started to ramp up operations in January 2012.<\/p>\n

They now have six employees at their office in Kingaroy Street as well as 22 workers based at either Moomba or Innamincka in South Australia and Windorah in far-western Queensland – and 75 per cent of these employees are South Burnett locals.<\/p>\n

Shannyn was born and bred in Kingaroy and educated at Kingaroy State High School.<\/p>\n

She met Lachlan 10 years ago and they’ve been married for four years. They have two children Emily, 3, and Ari, 1.<\/p>\n

Lachlan worked as a construction supervisor in the oil and gas industry, managing contractors on site, when he decided to go out on his own as a sub-contractor.<\/p>\n

“We then saw the opportunity to take it one step further and start our own company,” Shannyn told southburnett.com.au<\/strong> today.<\/p>\n

“We started from home but it quickly became too big for that. We moved into our new offices in September last year.”<\/p>\n

Shannyn and Lachlan supply fully qualified mechanical and civil engineering tradespeople to work in the oil and gas industry.<\/p>\n

Their employees do everything from installing new pipelines and tank frames, to facility expansion and camp maintenance.<\/p>\n

Global Engineering handles the logistics of getting the workers to the site as well as ensuring their skill sets are up-to-date.<\/p>\n

In addition to the South Burnett employees, Global Engineering also has workers based in Adelaide, Cairns and Brisbane.<\/p>\n

Up until last week, the work teams had to drive Brisbane, then fly to Adelaide, change flights and then drive for two hours to get to their work site.<\/p>\n

This has all changed now with the assistance of another Kingaroy-based company, Peter McNamara’s Australian Pilot Training Academy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Peter is supplying air transport to Global Engineering so that nine workers can be flown directly to their work sites.<\/p>\n

Currently, a nine-seater Beechworth is being used – it made its debut flight for Global Engineering last Thursday – but this may be replaced by a 14-seater to allow more workers to be transported on one flight.<\/p>\n

The employees work on a “two weeks on \/ two weeks off” basis.<\/p>\n

Thursday’s flight took nine men down to the Cooper Basin and brought nine back.<\/p>\n

“FIFO (fly-in flyout) has allowed us to employ a lot more people locally,” Global Engineering Operations Manager Steve Ashcroft said.<\/p>\n

“Many were sub-contractors before and are now working as employees.<\/p>\n

“A lot of the guys haven’t had a lot of experience in the oil and gas industry. They had trade-based skills not industry-based skills.<\/p>\n

“We have supplied the training for them so they now have the specific requirements for the client.<\/p>\n

“We have not only brought new jobs to the area, we have brought new skills to the area, too.”<\/p>\n

Shannyn said the flights were more expensive but were cost effective because they were safer and saved a lot of time.<\/p>\n

“There is less travel and far less time on the road. They can get to the site in four hours and still do a half-day’s work. It makes a huge difference,” she said.<\/p>\n

Shannyn said Global Engineering had received an amazing response to what it’s doing.<\/p>\n

“We receive five or six resumes a day from people wanting to work for us,” she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
