The amendments to the Professional Engineers Act 2002, contained in the Building Industry Fairness (Security of Payment) and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2020, are common sense and proportionate measures to help BPEQ protect the public and set standards of engineering. The amendments, which empower BPEQ to conduct compliance audits and enter and search places as part of its investigations, will commence on 1 March 2021. Ahead of the commencement date the Board encourages unregistered engineers who are eligible to become a RPEQ to start the process and employers of engineers to satisfy themselves that their staff are complying with the PE Act.

In the past five years BPEQ staff have delivered hundreds of presentations on the legislation and RPEQ system, traveling the length and breadth of Queensland and even interstate as part of our engagement strategy. This work has resulted in record numbers of new RPEQs and better awareness and understanding of the PE Act. I do not believe that anyone involved in the engineering sector can claim ignorance anymore of the requirement to be registered if carrying out professional engineering services in or for Queensland. Nonetheless, ahead of these major changes to the PE Act we will continue to engage and educate the profession, starting with a webinar hosted by Engineers Australia on 29 October.

While the message is directed at local government, other employers and engineers themselves should take note of the view from the Queensland Crime and Corruption Commission that providing of professional engineering services when not registered or directly supervised by a RPEQ is corrupt conduct under the Crime and Corruption Act 2001 (see Local governments put on notice to employ RPEQs).

'resulted in record numbers of new RPEQs and better awareness and understanding of the PE Act.'

It is important to distinguish between compliance and disciplinary matters. Put simply, compliance matters relate to offences committed against the PE Act (e.g. unregistered practice, use of the title or claiming to a RPEQ when not), where disciplinary matters relate to the standards of practice of RPEQs (e.g. breaching the Code of Practice). A discussion on these two concepts appears in this e-news issue as our legal article subject.

In the month ahead, BPEQ’s engagement team will be visiting Townsville on 6-7 October for a registration roadshow as well as holding a series of webinars with engineering firms and utilities companies. I reiterate that engagement is a priority for BPEQ and invite engineering firms and other employers to book a presentation from BPEQ to help their engineers better understand the PE Act

A WORD FROM THE

CHAIR

Page 3: Issue 71 2020 SEPTEMBER · 2020. 10. 2. · BPEQ E-news Issue 71 September 2020 6 The distinction between ‘discipline’ and ‘compliance’ matters in the Professional Engineers

Queensland’s anti-corruption body, the Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC), considers the providing of professional engineering services when not registered or directly supervised by a RPEQ to be corrupt conduct under the Crime and Corruption Act 2001.

The CCC formed the view following receipt of a complaint about the conduct of some engineers undertaking engineering services at a council without being registered or directly supervised. The CCC has now written to the chief executive officers of the 77 local governments in Queensland informing them of its view.

Chief executive officers are expected to take appropriate action to address, if any, contrary to the Professional Engineers Act 2002 and make inquiries to ensure that staff engaged – internally or externally – in the provision of professional engineering services to the council are appropriately registered.

A 2019 review of local government compliance with the PE Act found that there were 430 RPEQs employed directly by councils. The vast majority – 290 – were employed by the major councils in South East Queensland (Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Logan and Toowoomba). As of 29 September 2020, the number of RPEQs employed directly by Queensland local governments had risen. This increase is positive but there are still councils who do not appear to employ RPEQs directly. The expectation for these councils is that they procure services externally from a RPEQ. The finding by the CCC supports BPEQ’s position that there should be more RPEQs employed in local government.

BPEQ has undertaken a comprehensive engagement plan with local governments across state – contacting all 77 councils with information about the PE Act and RPEQ system and holding seminars or meetings with all but 10 of them. BPEQ will continue to engage with local government and offer its education services.

Councils, and indeed all employers of engineers, are reminded that professional engineering services in Queensland are required by law to be carried out by a RPEQ or under the direct supervision of a RPEQ:

On graduation, Nicole decided to pursue further studies and to focus on structural engineering. Gaining a UQ Foundation Travelling Scholarship, she studied at Manchester University, United Kingdom, and completed a Master of Science in Structural Engineering. Further university study in later years included business administration at UQ and project management at RMIT.

Nicole returned to Brisbane from the UK in 1979 to find work as a structural engineer. Nicole attained a position at GHD in 1979 and worked in the Brisbane office for four years. One of the major projects to which she contributed was structural engineering for the coal handling facility at Abbot Point.

Then, pursuing her interest in aviation (she had gained a private pilot’s licence while in the UK), Nicole worked as an airports engineer for the Commonwealth Government in Brisbane and then Canberra. In the Queensland regional office, Nicole’s work included planning aerodrome works at regional and secondary Commonwealth owned aerodromes, and aerodrome works arrangements at locally owned aerodromes funded by the Commonwealth under the Aerodrome Local Ownership Plan (ALOP).

'Then, pursuing her interest in aviation, Nicole worked as an airports engineer for the Commonwealth Government...'

In 2020, BPEQ turns 90. To celebrate this milestone BPEQ is acknowledging the achievements, projects, innovations, discoveries and stories of RPEQs past and present.

Nicole is notable as the first woman to be granted RPEQ status. This was in 1981, more than 50 years after the establishment of the RPEQ system.

Nicole was fortunate to benefit from being educated in all-girls schools, attending Buranda Girls State School and then Somerville House for her secondary education.

Completing school with a Commonwealth university scholarship, Nicole was uncertain what career to pursue. Her mother encouraged her to do engineering – her father was an architect and her older brother had started engineering at the University of Queensland the previous year.

Nicole completed her engineering qualification at UQ graduating in the class of 1975. Engineering turned out to be a good choice, Nicole was studious and did very well, graduating with a Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) with First Class Honours. She was just the 8th woman to graduate from UQ in civil engineering and the equal 20th woman to graduate from UQ in any engineering discipline.

'She was just the 8th woman to graduate from UQ in civil engineering and the equal 20th woman to graduate from UQ in any engineering discipline.'

While at UQ, Nicole had vacation work with Queensland Government agencies - Main Roads, Water Resources and Harbours and Marine. Notably at Harbours and Marine, she worked with Winifred Davenport (RPEQ 2372) who was a well-established civil engineer and naval architect.

Nicole worked in the Canberra head office from 1990. At this time, as part of reforms in the industry, the Commonwealth Government decided to withdraw from on-going ownership of regional aerodromes and from funding the ALOP. Nicole was part of the team finalising the arrangements for these changes. Afterward she headed a team responsible for negotiating the transfer of regional Commonwealth aerodromes to local ownership and the withdrawal of funding from ALOP aerodromes. This included determining what aerodrome works were needed and would be funded by the Commonwealth as part of the financial package provided by the Commonwealth to the local owners.

The rest of Nicole’s working career (from the mid 1990s) was as a manager in Commonwealth Government agencies in Melbourne and Brisbane mainly in relation to employment services. This was after Commonwealth Government decisions to transfer employment services delivery from the Commonwealth Employment Services to contracted organisations. Nicole spent 20 years as a branch manager involved in various aspects of contract management of employment services contracts.

Nicole retired from Commonwealth Government employment in 2014. And spent five years as a consultant to employment services provider Sarina Russo Jobs Australia.

Though much of her working career was not in engineering, Nicole still considers herself to be a civil engineer and she remains a member of Engineers Australia. She believes that skills and experience gained from engineering education and work are valuable in whatever career path is followed. Nicole maintains her interest in engineering; her husband and her two brothers are engineers.

This year is a celebration of the achievements, projects, innovations, discoveries and stories of RPEQs past and present.  BPEQ encourages RPEQs to share their thoughts –

• What are some of Queensland’s great engineering feats?

• Who was the RPEQ/s who helped deliver the project?

• Are there unsung heroes in the profession?

The distinction between ‘discipline’ and ‘compliance’ matters in the Professional Engineers Act 2002

The Board of Professional Engineers of Queensland has a regulatory function which encompasses two separate legal avenues for punishing bad behaviour and deterring individuals from doing things that they should not when practising professional engineering in Queensland.  Those two avenues are often described as ‘discipline’ and ‘compliance’. The purpose of this brief paper is to explain the meaning of each term.

For further information about BPEQ policies, processes and legal case studies, visit www.bpeq.qld.gov.au.

DisciplineThe PE Act has a mechanism for taking action against RPEQs that do any of the following ‘disciplinary grounds’:

a. Behave in a way that constitutes unsatisfactory professional conduct.

b. Failed to comply with the provisions of the PE Act.

c. Are convicted of an offence against an act of the state, the Commonwealth or another state relating to the practice of engineering.

d. Contravened an undertaking entered into by the RPEQ with the Board.

e. Contravened a condition of the RPEQ’s registration.

It should be noted that these disciplinary grounds only apply to RPEQs. The grounds do not constitute criminal offences. If an engineer has done any of the things listed above then the Board can take the following ‘disciplinary action’;

a. Start a disciplinary proceeding in QCAT, usually with a view to obtaining an order of the Tribunal that the RPEQ’s registration be suspended or cancelled or that they be disqualified from practicing as a RPEQ.

b. The Board can enter an undertaking with the RPEQ about a matter relating to their carrying out professional engineering services.

c. The Board can formally caution or reprimand the RPEQ and details of the caution or reprimand can be recorded on the register of RPEQs.

d. The Board can impose a condition on the RPEQ’s registration.

The disciplinary grounds and disciplinary actions only relate to RPEQs.

ComplianceThe PE Act contains a number of sections that create criminal offences.  If a person commits a criminal offence against the PE Act then the Board can charge them with the criminal offence and prosecute them through the Magistrate’s Court with the intention of obtaining a conviction for the offence. Upon conviction the Board would usually seek a fine that is intended to operate as a penalty for the offender and to deter the offender and the rest of the community from committing offences against the PE Act. That is the prosecution is intended to promote ‘compliance’ with the PE Act. A person committing offences against the PE Act has not complied with the prohibitions upon certain behaviour. The most serious offences are for individuals who are not RPEQs but carry out unsupervised professional engineering services or who claim to be RPEQs when they are not.  Those offences carry maximum penalties of about $130,000.

In summary, disciplinary matters relate to RPEQ’s conduct in the carrying out of professional engineering. Compliance matters involve the prosecution of individuals for criminal offences against the PE Act.

Over time the world has undergone a number of industrial revolutions. The first revolution came with the advent of steam driven mechanisation of industry. The second revolution came with the emergence of electrification of industry and the beginnings of mass transport with the inventions of the automobile and aeroplane. The third industrial revolution occurred with the advent of nuclear power and electronics, telecommunications and computing. Now we find ourselves on the dawn of the fourth industrial revolution which can be characterised by:

• advanced automation and robotics

• Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and increased interconnectedness across humans and machines

• advanced data analytics, machine learning and artificial intelligence

• use of cyber-physical systems e.g. through digital twins and virtual/augmented reality systems.

From Industry 4.0 will emerge both threats and opportunities to professional engineers and entities like BPEQ whose role is to:

• to protect the public by ensuring professional engineering services are provided by a registered professional engineer in a professional and competent way

• to maintain public confidence in the standard of services provided by registered professional engineers

• to uphold the standards of practice of registered professional engineers.

However, with Industry 4.0 these trends are occurring in a business context where sustaining leading-edge performance is becoming more challenging because of increasing risks and uncertainties which are being driven by the following:

1. Faster rate of change which is making the future more difficult to predict and gives business less time to respond (Elahi 2010, Withers, Gupta et al. 2015).

2. Increasing complexity of business processes, technologies and supply chains which increases the chance of hidden faults and unexpected outcomes (Elahi 2010, Marsh & McLennan 2015).

3. Globalization which is increasing the interactions and interdependencies between businesses and means that risks and impacts from one region or business can quickly spread to others (Elahi 2010, Marsh & McLennan 2015, Withers, Gupta et al. 2015).

4. Changing regulatory requirements (Aon 2014, Allianz 2015).

5. Increasing cost competitiveness associated with import alternates and the corresponding loss of local suppliers and customers (Aon 2014, Mooney 2014, Allianz 2015).

6. Increasing stakeholder expectations (Allianz 2015, Ernst & Young 2015).

Continuing professional development critical during the time of Industry 4.0

A key to successfully navigating Industry 4.0 is through continuing professional development, only working within areas of competence and ensuring all changes are underpinned by good evidence based integrated risk assessment and management practices, writes the Board academic representative, Dr Maureen Hassall.

Page 8: Issue 71 2020 SEPTEMBER · 2020. 10. 2. · BPEQ E-news Issue 71 September 2020 6 The distinction between ‘discipline’ and ‘compliance’ matters in the Professional Engineers

A key to successfully navigating Industry 4.0 is through continuing professional development, only working within areas of competence and ensuring all changes are underpinned by good evidence based integrated risk assessment and management practices. Continuing professional development is of course an going requirement to be eligible for registration as RPEQ and should include technical and non-technical learning (e.g. risk management). In terms of continuing professional development professional industry associations provide regular opportunities, but there are also many private operators. BPEQ too, following the success of the three pilot courses on risk and project management, is exploring the creation of a non-technical continuing professional development program for RPEQs in regional and remote Queensland.
