James Conte
Structural Engineer
Independent structural engineer based in Sydney. UTS-trained — Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Civil Engineering with sub-major in Structures, currently completing a Masters in Structural Engineering at UTS. I take on cold-formed steel structures, portal frames, sheds, and small residential work — applying the rigour you'd expect from a major firm to projects that don't need one.
