Under the Professional Engineers Act 2003, a professional engineering service is defined as any service requiring the application of engineering principles and data to design, construction, production, operation, or maintenance activities. This excludes services provided solely in accordance with a prescriptive standard.
In Queensland, professional engineering services must be carried out by a practising professional engineer or under their direct supervision. A practising professional engineer is a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ), making RPEQ certification a legal requirement for professional engineering services performed in Queensland or for Queensland-based projects.
RPEQ certification involves a practising professional engineer (RPEQ) reviewing, endorsing, or approving a professional engineering service to ensure compliance with legislative and technical standards. This certification is essential across industries such as oil & gas, chemicals, renewables, water treatment, and manufacturing, where regulatory compliance and engineering integrity are critical for safety and operational reliability.
As a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ), we provide RPEQ certification in the field of chemical and process engineering across industries such as oil & gas, renewables, chemicals & petrochemicals, and water & wastewater treatment.
