We are the conduit between engineering and construction

After initially working together in substation design in South Australia, and following further experience in utilities and consultancies within Victoria and Queensland, a group of like-minded friends conceptualised Utica in 2018.
Across the industry, we identified the increasing shortage in paraprofessional skills in substation design, and saw value in reviving this service.
Now, as Utica, we provide a critical link between engineering and construction.
