Capitan Engineering Group is a locally owned civil engineering consultancy based in Brisbane. We were established in 2022 by Managing Director Andrew Pilkington, a Chartered Professional Engineer and Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland.
Our approach is collaborative. We work closely with clients, town planners, architects and contractors, and we take projects from concept through design, approvals and construction. All design and construction services are carried out or overseen by a registered engineer.
We focus on cost-effective solutions, particularly on complex sites, because the right engineering decisions early on are what keep a development on budget.

Why clients choose Capitan
- Accredited by Unitywater as a Major Certifier, so we can certify water and sewer works in Moreton Bay, the Sunshine Coast and Noosa.
- Registered engineers on every project. Design and certification are carried out by RPEQ engineers, as Queensland law requires.
- Concept to construction. One team from site advice and development applications through detailed design, approvals and supervision.
- Local knowledge. We work across Brisbane City, Moreton Bay, Sunshine Coast, Logan, Ipswich, Redland City and the Gold Coast, and know how their standards differ.
