JESS LESLIEPrincipal Structural EngineerBE (Civil) Hons, MIEAust, NER
Registered Building Practitioner EC 59615 |
Jess studied a Bachelor of Engineering at the University of Melbourne, graduating with honours in 2010. During her studies she worked as an undergraduate engineer with the top tier structural engineering firm focusing predominantly on residential and office renovations until the time of her graduation.
Jess earned her stripes as a fully qualified structural engineer on the iconic Melbourne Emporium retail centre in the heart of the CBD, taking on the role for lead design engineer for the latter three years of a seven year project. During this time she enjoyed successful working relationships with renowned architect The Buchan Group and builder, Grocon. Jess continued in her passion for structural designs completing the twenty story luxury Parque apartments, and 65 story EQ Tower apartment building along side numerous other 5-15 story mixed use developments. Jess gained design proficiencies in all areas of structural engineering including concrete (both reinforced and post tensioned) steel, timber, masonry, footing and retention systems, and was exposed to many heritage integration projects at this time. Jess finished as a Senior Structural Engineer managing a team of 5 technical staff at the end of 2016 when she relocated to Horsham, however, remote work opportunities have lead to ongoing affiliations with engineers in Melbourne and opportunities to work on cutting edge projects. Since relocating to the Wimmera, Jess has enjoyed assisting the Horsham Rural City Council on a number of civil and structural engineering related projects, including acting as design reviewer and construction manager for the final stages of delivery on the ‘Anzac Centenary Pedestrian Bridge’, along with numerous other recreational infrastructure projects. Jess has also taken on a number of residential and small commercial structural engineering projects during this time, and since realised the need for easily accessible structural engineering services within the Wimmera. Jess has a passion for seeing the technical and practical co-exist and believes in delivering efficient engineering solutions whilst prioritising practical construction techniques. The satisfaction in seeing a building grow from an idea into reality is the driver behind every job, and Jess looks forward to making your visions of today into tomorrow’s reality. |
