About Us
Ross Engineers is a multidisciplinary consultancy of structural engineers whose uniquely talented team members are motivated and passionate about providing innovative solutions in structural design.
Form and Function
Continually seeking the best balance between form and function, sustainability and constructability, our team of engineers work intelligently to bridge the gap between architect, engineer and builder. We consistently challenge ourselves to find new ways to design and deliver projects faster, more efficiently while never compromising on safety and standards.
We have completed thousands of successful projects all over Sydney
We provide structural engineering services to home owners, architects, commercial clients and developers for a variety of projects. From large and big budget projects to simple and smaller sized briefs, we are capable and experienced in providing expert engineering services.
Our Engineers
Our engineers utilize state of the art structural finite analysis software and advanced 3D modelling and are well versed in the use of steel, concrete, timber, masonry, aluminum and composite panels in building design. Staying in touch with technological advances in engineering and design, we are continually up-skilling with new 3D programs that seamlessly interface with architectural software programs.
INNER WEST EXPERTS
Regarding inner city and inner west properties our company’s specialised engineering skills for the typical type of buildings in the inner west adds tremendous value to your project through our ability to successfully deliver the engineering needs.
Inner west properties generally are subject to alterations and additions as knock down rebuild is generally not permitted as the buildings are in heritage conservation areas.
The structures are quite often terraces or semi-detached. The engineering design for each building is often bespoke as they are not modular or project type-built structures and older buildings often require remediation strategies as part of the new structure design.

Shaneel Prasad
Structural Engineer
Working with Ross Engineers since 2012, Shaneel has built up broad structural engineering experience working through hundreds of projects utilising the engineering favourites of structural steel, timber and concrete, aluminium and even stainless steel structures on the odd occasion.
When not engaging with architects, builders and contractors, Shaneel can be found in the office studying codes and running calculations, diligently searching for elegant, efficient solutions. Equally comfortable with a pen and paper, or a keyboard and mouse, he has provided structural design work for artistic installations, industrial-grade structures, construction equipment, and a wide spectrum of residential structures.
As a structural engineer with an artistic side, some nights you may find Shaneel at your local club or venue, performing on keyboards of a more musical variety.
Jason Lu
Structural Engineer
Having graduated with a Masters in Engineering, Jason exhibits a meticulous approach to his work, whether designing a residential studio, or working on large multi-storey structures.
Fluent in Cantonese and Mandarin, Jason has effectively utilised multilingual abilities through working on structural steel and reinforced concrete structures, throughout China and Australia.
Mostly working behind the scenes, Jason’s dedication and conscientious approach to each design brings well-coordinated, timely completion of projects.
Jason’s genial and warm nature permeates throughout the office, creating a calmness more potent than any yoga session.
Pam Gill
Office Manager
While the rest of the office engage in structural and construction talk, Pam’s days are spent focusing on communication and building successful relationships with clients.
With a background in Accounting and Management, Pam brings to the practice a commendable level of organization and care, often successfully restoring law and order by the end of the day.
When not at work, you will most likely find Pam sampling the wares of local cafes in her ongoing quest of finding Sydney’s best cup of coffee!
