Our people

Although it can be a cliche, our team at Cossill & Webley truly are our greatest asset.

With more than 60 staff in our Perth office and over 30 in Melbourne working on urban development and infrastructure projects, we offer large and diverse teams in both locations. This provides a level of depth in project experience and technical capability that is rarely seen in other civil engineering firms.

Having three locations also facilitates collaboration across projects and support of other teams as required for projects.

With all of our clients, our directors take a hands-on approach in leading the projects to ensure that they are delivered to the highest quality.

Our team has vast experience in all types of development projects both large and small and includes residential, commercial, resort and waterway developments, shopping centres, car parks, boating facilities, beach access, sporting and recreational facilities.

Through this experience, our team have developed an in-depth understanding of development procedures and the responsibilities of project team members particularly town planners, landscape architects, architects, surveyors and environmental scientists. This ensures effective integration of CW’s inputs to the collaborative approach to the implementation of projects.

Our Track Record

We take a great deal of pride in delivering exceptionally well planned and executed projects, on time and on budget, to our clients.

Our experience in leading a diverse range of urban development projects has resulted in Cossill & Webley receiving dozens of state and national awards. But awards are not what we measure success by – the happiness of our clients is.

Projects inevitably hit hurdles, delays and budget deviations along the way, but with the guiding hand of our leadership team and relationships developed in the industry we successfully navigate these challenges.
