Our Team

Brad Magocha

CEO & Principal Engineer

​

About me: 

Born in Zimbabwe, I moved to Australia in 2015 to complete my Master of Engineering (Structures) in December 2016. When I'm not designing structural foundations, you can find me either cooking Sunday dinner for my family, crafting with my son TK, watching the Melbourne Rebels play Rugby Union or enjoying a test match (no limited overs for me). When it's time to unwind, I enjoy listening to music, audiobooks, and binge-watching shows on Netflix. 

A little-known fun fact about me is that I have a mild rasemanphobia (fear of lawn mowers). 

One of my favourite experiences at Guardian Consulting Engineers has been working with homeowners to help them achieve great outcomes on their investments. This has taught me the importance of not taking for granted the responsibility we have to deliver results for our clients and the trust they place in us. Whether at the office or pursuing my passions outside of work, I always stive to be my best in every situation.

Structural Engineer

 

About Me:
Born in Vietnam, I completed my Bachelor's Degree in Infrastructure and Bridge Design Engineering in 2018. With a passion for further my education, I seized the opportunity to use my scholarship to complete my Master of Engineering Science (structural) at Swinburne University of Technology in 2020. 

Outside of work, I love cooking! I often spend hours creating beautiful traditional Vietnamese meals for my wife and I. Cooking is my stress relief, allowing me to escape from the daily workflow, even if the meals don't always turn our as planned. Besides cooking, I have a keen passion for Judo. After training for just over four years I achieved my brown belt. Unfortunately, due to a knee injury, I won't be able to reach my black belt. 

My Favourite experience working at Guardian Consulting Engineers is that Guardian is not just a company; we are a family. We maintain a great internal relationship, whilst also warmly welcoming our clients into our team with every new project we take on.

Business Development & Administration Manager

About me: 

Born in Geelong, I have worked in the business world since the beginning of my career, with a love for customer relations. 

If I am not in the office or at a job site, you'll catch me on the Beach Volleyball court as often as I can, getting away with my family and exploring more and more of Australia. 
I have an endless passion for adventure and traveling, and I was fortunate enough to have a short stint working on a cattle station in remote outback Queensland and a harvesting season in central New South Wales. 

My favourite part of joining Guardian Consulting Engineers is the people and culture we endeavour to create everyday, both within our company and with our clients. Meeting so many different people and ensuring they are met with the same infectious energy we exude in the office space, while providing revolutionary engineering solutions, is my favourite part of my job!
