Second time’s a charm for Fletcher Construction ‘returnee’ Miles Wallace. Miles first started as Project Engineer with our Brian Perry Civil team. He left in 2021 to join a structural engineering consultancy and came back in 2023 as Design Engineer with our Engineering Services team.

Miles is now Senior Design Engineer developing innovative and economical engineering solutions for our site teams. Miles has been involved in various projects throughout the business, most notably at Seaview Wharf and Bothamley Park aiding in complex enabling works ranging from drilling fluid retention frames to cofferdams and intricate lift solutions. He manages the entire design process, coordinates with various engineering disciplines and suppliers, while he mentors and supervises junior design engineers and draughtspersons.

Miles says his experience has been “incredible” as he gets to liaise directly with project teams and be involved early on to help facilitate and guide them from the simple to the complex engineering problems. “There is a great sense of fulfilment seeing your design being used to effectively mitigate a problem. The integration of digital engineering tools has streamlined our processes and allowed us to visualize and solve issues more efficiently. Our team has a wide range of backgrounds, which gives us a broad experience base to lean on and provide innovative and cost-effective solutions to ensure projects meet their program and ensure everyone goes home safe.”
