David Sourbutts and four partners started Engenium in 2003, after eyeing an opportunity to offer different project delivery services to the resources, rail and infrastructure sectors.

He has over 20 years of experience in project management and engineering within the mining, rail, processing and infrastructure industries. Mr Sourbutts has had a major role in overseeing the development of startup explorers into successful miners, including the coordination of project delivery from the mine to port.
