Today is International Women in Engineering Day, and we want to recognise the women who help make OBT successful.   Engineers Australia has previously reported that just 16% of professional engineers in Australia are women. At OBT, 35% of our technical team and 50% of our Board are women.    Statistics are nice, but this isn't about meeting a target. It's about having talented people around the table, in the field, and working with clients every day.   Thank you to the women across our business for the knowledge, leadership and dedication you bring to our team and our projects.   #INWED2026 #WomenInEngineering

🎉 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝟰𝟬 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗢’𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘵𝘰𝘰𝘭𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘰𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘥 Since 1986, the way we work and deliver traffic and transport advice has completely transformed. We’ve gone from analogue to digital… from hand-drawing to mouse clicks… and from fax machines to instant collaboration. Here’s what that evolution has looked like from our team 👇 📧 No email — or one shared email address for the whole office ✍️ Handwriting reports, then passing them to a secretary to type 💰 Being paid by cheque 📠 Sending reports via fax (and waiting… and waiting) 📦 Binding reports and delivering them by hand 🏃♂️ Racing to lodge tenders in a physical tender box 🖨️ Printing plans on A1 plotters 🗺️ Using Melways to find our way to sites 📐 Using drawing curves and manual drafting techniques 🧮 Using manual traffic counters 📎 “With compliments” slips attached to every report 📚 Shelves of hard copy Standards and Austroads guides 💻 The shift to AutoCAD, MicroStation, SIDRA and AutoTURN Tools change. Quality advice doesn’t. #OBrienTraffic40Years

Recently, Department of Transport and Main Roads in Queensland contacted us searching for a report we wrote in the mid 1990's for the State Bicycle Committee of Victoria. The work formed part of Austroads Guide to Road Design Part 6A: Paths for Walking and Cycling   We dug through our archives, found an electronic version, reformatted it from the original WordPerfect files, and sent it across.   It is a good reminder that foundational technical work has a long shelf life, sometimes longer than the format it was saved in!   We are glad we could help, and quietly pleased the work is still being used.   #TrafficEngineering #CyclingInfrastructure #Austroads #TransportPlanning

Last night our Managing Director, Matt Harridge unpacked some of the Traffic and Transport Engineering decisions that can make or break land development with (ALDE) Association of Land Development Engineers #TrafficEngineering #TransportPlanning #LandDevelopment
