Passionate about engineering solutions that deliver win-win results for our clients and the community
After working closely with Caitie for a number of years, from his position within Mackay Regional Council, Tim Sunner decided it was time to return to his consulting roots, and the two decided to join forces and rebrand the business as BECKER SUNNER CONSULTING.
Tim and Caitie’s skills and experience complement each other, with a blend of project planning, design and delivery, that spans across development, infrastructure and local government projects.
Seeing a need in the local Mackay community for an engineering and urban development consultancy who understands how to navigate the legislative and practical challenges to achieve on-the-ground results, Becker Project Solutions was established by Caitie Becker in late 2021.
Caitie Becker
Caitie, a Principal Engineer of Becker Sunner Consulting is an enthusiastic, conscientious and accountable professional with over 15 years of experience in the civil engineering industry.
Caitie has worked as a consultant to the development industry, followed by 6 years within local government in strategic and infrastructure planning, and more recently as Manager Development Engineering. Her work, both in engineering consultancy and local government gives her unique insight and demonstrated ability to work with a wide range of stakeholders to ensure positive outcomes for clients, stakeholders, and projects as a whole.
In her spare time, Caitie is kept busy running around after two energetic and fast growing boys, and spending time with John, her husband who is also a structural engineer and Director of Becker Sunner Consulting. They all enjoy a game of tennis together on the weekend, and always seem to have a home improvement project underway.
Tim Sunner
Tim, a Principal Engineer of Becker Sunner Consulting has 20+ years experience across consulting, mining, development management and local government sectors. With his entire career within the Mackay-Isaac-Whitsunday region, he has an extensive local knowledge across a wide range of projects, with an in-depth knowledge of project planning, design requirements, and local government policies.
Most recently, Tim was Manager Design Services at Mackay Regional Council, responsible for the delivery of designs for the capital works program, overseeing a team of surveyors, designers, engineers and associated professionals.
On weekends, Tim spends his time with his wife Natalie, the Deputy Principal Teaching and Learning at Whitsunday Anglican School, and their daughters Evelyn and Madeline. Together they enjoy working in their garden, getting out and about in this beautiful region, and planning their next holiday.
“I have always enjoyed dealing with Caitie Becker, both when she was working in private practice as a civil engineer and then when she was working at Mackay Regional Council. In my experience, her professional views and ideas have been practical, collaborative and “solutions driven”. Her engineering advice is well communicated and sensible for the real world, in which we are all working and trying to deliver projects in a timely manner.”
