Tim De Goey
Owner and Managing Director
I give strategic guidance and direction to our staff and research and develop new initiatives. I’m responsible for the overall management of the business, administration and tender submissions, site visits and aiding site managers in their projects. I started my career in engineering with a scholarship for a pressure welding apprenticeship at New Zealand Petrol Refinery and while studying, won New Zealand Apprentice of the Year.
I took a pressure welding position with Bechtel at the Darwin LNG Project and generated a lot of work throughout Australia before settling in Mackay and building DGC.
I am a qualified IIW International Welding Specialist, Certified Welding Inspector, International Welding Inspector Basic, Pressure Equipment Manufacture Supervisor, Structural Steel Manufacture Supervisor and a member of The Welding Technology Institute of Australia. I accredit DGC’s growth over the past 12 years to the commitment and quality of work by the whole team.
I am proud of our high standards and positive work culture. I have three young sons and love to spend time with my family, exploring the great outdoors. I also enjoy golf, cricket and have a small collection of pre-1970 Fords, which I love to tinker with.
