Our Team

The people behind the critical infrastructure solutions.

Since 2002, UPS Solutions has built a specialist team around the infrastructure businesses cannot afford to lose. Across engineering, power, cooling, data-centre solutions, software, project delivery, field service and logistics, our people work as one team to keep critical environments operating.

One lifecycleDesign through to maintenance

Usually four different suppliers

One organisation, end to end

Engineering, delivery, field service and monitoring normally come from four separate companies. That means four contracts, four site inductions and three handovers where the problem quietly becomes someone else's. At UPS Solutions they are the same team.

One organisation, end to end

Same people, start to finish

The same people who scoped the site engineer the solution, install it, commission it, monitor it and come back when it needs attention. Nothing is handed to a third party, which is why one contract can cover an entire environment and one call reaches someone who already knows it.

One team. Complete lifecycle.

Complex infrastructure rarely comes from one discipline

Our project teams bring together the technical, commercial and field capability required to take a project from initial scope through design, equipment selection, delivery, installation, commissioning, monitoring and long-term maintenance. Select a team below to see which stages it owns.

Every stage sits inside one organisation. Sales and solutions architecture scope the requirement at the front, leadership carries the manufacturer relationships and the commercial accountability, and the same contract covers the site for the life of the equipment.

Our specialist teams

Every discipline a critical environment needs

We have deliberately built our team around a specialised market. Our engineers, technicians, solutions specialists and support teams work every day with UPS systems, batteries, power distribution, cooling, monitoring and data-centre infrastructure. That depth matters when uptime, lead time and accountability are critical.

Leadership & Strategy

Directors and senior leaders responsible for long-term strategy, manufacturer relationships, investment, governance and major customer outcomes. Specification questions reach a decision maker the same day.

StrategyPartnershipsGovernance

Engineering & Data Centre Solutions

Technical design and solution engineering across UPS, batteries, power distribution, cooling, liquid cooling, modular and containerised infrastructure. Load studies, heat load and redundancy topology sized on measured requirement.

DesignEngineer

Projects & Field Service

Installation, commissioning, preventive maintenance, repairs, emergency response, site coordination and lifecycle support. Our own field engineers rather than subcontracted labour, which is why we can stand behind the result on site.

InstallCommissionMaintain

Solutions Architect

Customer discovery, site scoping, solution development, vendor comparison, commercial proposals and complex project coordination. Because we are vendor agnostic, the comparison is genuine rather than a route to one agency.

ScopeSpecifyPropose

Software & Monitoring

Remote monitoring, DCIM, environmental monitoring, integration and visibility across mission-critical assets, normalised across manufacturers so a customer sees one estate rather than a dozen separate portals.

MonitorIntegrate

Operations, Logistics & Support

Inventory, warehousing, freight, project logistics, billing, administration and the operational support required to move equipment and keep projects running. Locally held stock is often the difference between hours and months.

SupplyDeliverSupport

National field capability

Regional reach, with people and stock behind it

With operations, stock and service capability across Australia and the wider Pacific region, UPS Solutions can support customers from a single site through to multi-location and regional infrastructure programmes. A site in the Pilbara is held to the same response standard as a site in Sydney.

The names above lead our functions. The rest of the team is in data centres, hospitals, plant rooms and switch rooms across the country.

The broader team behind every project

For every name on this page, there is a team on site

The people above are the ones you deal with commercially. The work itself is delivered by a far larger group of field engineers, service technicians, project coordinators, monitoring specialists and logistics personnel, supported where required by trusted specialist contractors and strategic manufacturer partners across the region.

You will not meet most of them. You will notice their work every day your environment stays up.

Backed by global technology

Local execution. Global technology.

Our local teams are backed by strategic relationships with leading global infrastructure manufacturers. Because we are vendor agnostic, we can bring the right people and technology together around the requirement rather than forcing the project into a single manufacturer's ecosystem.
