Tim is the current president of Collegians Junior Rugby League Club and still finds time to play for the Kootingal Rugby League Club in the Group 4 Second Division competition.
He loves being a dad, has a contagious love of life and displays killer instinct as well as fox-like agility when on the Oztag field.
Bill Gilchrist
Bill is our railway guru. We're sure that due to his years of experience, what Bill doesn’t know about working on the railways really isn’t worth knowing! He holds rail protection officer qualifications, is a Category A track designer and has vast experience in detailed engineering and construction support surveys. Where will you find Bill on his days off? Good chance on the railway, (miniature that is) or driving his much loved Willy jeep.
Lachlan Smith
What do you get when you combine a love for the great outdoors and construction? A career in Surveying/Engineering! Lachlan is currently enrolled in the NSW Board of Surveying and Spatial Information for his Certificate of Competency and registration as a land surveyor under the Surveying and Spatial Information Act. He is a Category B track designer having gained considerable experience with railway surveying and track design. He lives by the motto of 'Life's short, so make sure you love what you do'. Described by his mates as outgoing, relaxed and honest, in his spare time Lachlan enjoys hitting the Rugby field and belting it out on the drums.
Timothy Bolte
Tim comes to surveying after a policing career and has great experience with systems and process as a result. Tim is currently studying the Bachelor of Spatial Science through the University of Southern Queensland. Tim loves the outdoors and the mathematics associated with surveying. His spare time usually finds him either studying or renovating with a few road runs thrown in for good measure.
