We understand how important it is to our clients to have competent and available consultants to drive the delivery of their objectives. We have established two fully resourced offices in the country’s biggest markets, Sydney and Melbourne, to serve the needs of our clientele. From these locations we mobilise our resources to service both our national and international project commitments. We will commit an experienced and capable team to all projects. Typically, we operate all projects as a coherent group, controlled through a nominated Project Director and Project Engineer.
The objective of undertaking a structured role to project work is to achieve the following:
MANAGING DIRECTOR
Sandro has 20 plus years’ experience in fire safety engineering including over 15 years as a founding director of his own Fire Safety Engineering consultancies. Sandro’s early experience with the Metropolitan Fire and Emergency Services Board, Melbourne provided a solid grounding in all aspects of Fire and Life Safety design. Sandro’s ability to conceptualise fire safety strategies for the built environment is his greatest strength. His approach involves establishing fundamental design requirements at the outset of the project that can then later be detailed with the full support and confidence of the relevant stakeholders.
TECHNICAL DIRECTOR
Graham has been a professional fire safety engineer since 2012, achieving Chartered status in 2017 and C10 accreditation (now Registered Certifier – Fire Safety) in 2018. Having previously attained a masters degree from the University of Edinburgh
in Structural and Fire Safety Engineering, Graham has a well rounded knowledge of the fundamentals of fire engineering. Using this, he is able to envision and develop effective performance solutions based on advanced technical justification.
Graham took on the role of Technical Director at CORE in 2018 and, ably supported by the team at CORE, continues to develop innovative solutions to complex problems using the latest knowledge in the industry.
ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR
Neil is a fire safety professional with 35 + years of industry experience across the full range of industry involvement.
Commencing as a fire protection cadet engineer, Neil has gained experience in fire system design, estimating and project management for both major and minor fire services installations projects.
Neil is also an experienced special hazards engineer with roles in sales, engineering and project management for a range of special hazards projects in Australia and internationally, including gaseous fire suppression systems, water deluge, foam and wet chemical systems.
Over the last 20 years, Neil’s focus has been on consultancy in the area of fire code compliance, fire system compliance and fire engineering (performance based solutions) where his advice is sought by all segments of the industry.
“The fire protection industry, whilst specialised, offers the opportunity to work in all industry segments in a wide range of capacities. I feel fortunate to be a part of it and enjoy sharing my experience and expertise with clients and colleagues and relish solving a problem.”
