A bit about
EPES Consulting Engineers
EPES Consulting Engineers was born from a simple frustration: too much of the industry talked in theory when clients needed answers that actually worked on site.
Founded by Principal Engineer Ken Eppleston in May 2014, EPES set out to close that gap, bringing a genuinely practical approach to engineering problems that had, until then, been treated as purely academic exercises.
More than a decade on, that founding idea still drives everything the team does. EPES is now a multi-disciplined consultancy with 25 years experience, delivering projects for clients across Australia, Asia Pacific and the Middle East.
The firm has built a strong reputation across hospitals and healthcare, commercial buildings, tank farms, tunnels, pipelines, manufacturing, and water and waste facilities. Whether it’s a new greenfield build or a brownfield rectification project, government or private sector, EPES brings the same hands-on, end-to-end approach: understand the real-world constraints first, then engineer the solution that fits.
It’s engineering with its sleeves rolled up. Practical, thorough, and built around getting it right the first time.

EPES Consulting Engineers
Why Choose Us?
Anyone can promise a good outcome. EPES backs it up with a track record on some of the country's most demanding infrastructure and healthcare projects, and the certifications to prove the process behind it holds up too.
Trusted on projects that don't leave room for error.
EPES has worked alongside organisations including Sydney Water, NSW Health, WestConnex, NorthConnex, Melbourne Metro, Veolia, Brookfield and ExxonMobil. These aren't forgiving environments. Critical infrastructure, live hospitals, major tunnelling works, they demand a consultant who gets it right under pressure, not one still finding their feet.
Certified, not just capable.
EPES operates under a fully certified Integrated Management System: ISO 9001 for quality, ISO 14001 for environmental management, and ISO 45001 for health and safety. It's also a Certified Consultant and Registered Contractor under the NSW Government's prequalification schemes. That's independent verification of standards most firms only talk about.
A senior engineer on every project, not just the pitch.
When EPES takes on a project, a senior engineer stays across it from first conversation to final sign-off. No handing it off to whoever's free once the contract's signed.
Digital engineering tools put to practical use.
EPES applies current digital engineering technology to genuinely complex problems, not as a buzzword, but as a way to model, test and validate solutions before they hit the site.
A team that questions the brief, not just executes it.
Where a lot of consultants take the brief at face value, EPES's engineers are encouraged to push back, ask why, and challenge assumptions early, when it's still cheap to change course. That curiosity is often what separates a workable solution from the right one.
Whatever the project, EPES brings the credentials, the track record and the mindset to match.
