Jensen Bowers is happy to announce the recruitment of Ian Pengelly, Ray Vanderwolf and Michael Ridley to the surveying team!

Ian has recently relocated from rural NSW where he managed and ran his own surveying practice for many years. He has vast experience as a Cadastral endorsed surveyor with 25+ years of knowledge and will be a highly valuable addition to the Surveying Team. Ian will be spending the majority of his time out west as our resource works continue to grow, but will also be working flexibly around Brisbane when required. Welcome Ian!

Ray Vanderwolf has had over 35 years of experience as a Senior Cadastral Surveyor, having worked with DNRM (and its predecessors) for many years and a range of other consulting firms around Brisbane. We trust that Ray’s significant local knowledge, experience and capability across a variety of disciplines will play an important role in the growth and development of the business and we look forward to him adding further value to the company and our clients.

Welcome also to Michael Ridley who is the youngest of our new recruits. Michael is a qualified graduate surveyor with over 5 years’ worth of experience in both the cadastral and civil sectors. JB looks forward to guiding Michael’s enthusiasm and professional commitment as he continues his growth and personal development.

 

Following graduation from UQ, Stuart joined Jensen Bowers in April of this year and has quickly established himself as a dependable and valued member of the planning team. Jensen Bowers welcomes Stuart to its Graduate Program and looks forward to mentoring and supporting his professional growth and development.

Jensen Bowers welcomes Laura Gannon and Stuart Somerville to our Town Planning Team. Laura joins as a Senior Town Planner and contributes a wealth of experience from her previous appointments with the Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning.
