Julie Mikhail
Julie, founder of Engineering Business Pty Ltd, is an engineer with more than 17 years' experience in the public sector working on Defence projects including major acquisitions and long-term sustainment contracts across Navy, Airforce and Army with almost 10 years managing the sustainment of the Navy’s onboard communication systems. As a result of outstanding management and leadership Julie was awarded a CEO Commendation and the Australia Day Medallion in 2009.
Over her time at Defence, Julie recognised a market gap for a service that would assist SME companies that are technically capable but don’t have the resources or knowledge to bid successfully on government tenders. In 2016, Julie started her own company Engineering Business Pty Ltd to work with companies to develop their capability and assist them in their bidding process to bid and win on government tenders. Over the last five years she has assisted companies secure multi million-dollar contracts and develop engineering systems and documentation to support the quality of their work.
Julie holds a Bachelor's Degree in Chemical Engineering, Master's Degree in Engineering Science (Electrical Engineering), a Certificate IV in Government Procurement and is a Fellow and Chartered Engineer of Engineers Australia.
