Furthermore, the agreement provides Southern Launch Engineers the opportunity for recognition through their annual awards programs.
Southern Launch engineers will also be able to apply for Chartered status through the partnership agreement.
Southern Launch General Manager – Infrastructure, Andrew Curran, was named as the 2021 Professional Engineer of the Year (South Australia) by Engineers Australia. Mr Curran said, “The agreement between Southern Launch and Engineers Australia will drive recognition for our team’s innovations and accomplishments, while demonstrating Southern Launch’s strive for excellence to the global profession. Being a member of EA has assured success within my own career, and I’m excited to see this agreement give Southern Launch Engineers the same opportunity for success in their own careers.”
Engineers Australia General Manager - South Australia Lauran Huefner said the organisation is delighted to partner with Southern Launch.
“Chartered credentials are internationally benchmarked and recognised, demonstrating that Australian engineers are at the global forefront and meet world-class competency standards.
“At a time when more states are moving to mandate engineer registration, achieving Chartered status demonstrates an extra level of commitment to achieving best practice. Southern Launch entering into this agreement indicates the importance of standards, such as Charted, to the emerging civil space sector.”
