Our Story

Built on Quality Engineering

First founded in 1998, Dep Consulting has been a long-serving provider of electrical distribution network services. Over our years of service as a Level 3 Accredited Service Provider (ASP), we have built a reputation for reliability and commitment to quality.

Driven by Best Practice

Driven by the vision of Director Charles Rheinberger, Dep Consulting has led an industry shift toward more sustainable practices at the energy connection level. We know that the infrastructure we build needs to last longer than a lifetime. So we are pushing new standards, employing teams of qualified, forward-thinking engineers to design better outcomes for everyone.

Delivering Brighter Futures

This approach has led to huge successes for our organisation, and we have no plans to stop now. We continue to invest into our people and the development of better, more efficient engineering practices across design, assessment, and commissioning.
Because, at Dep Consulting, we’re not spot-fixing – we’re building the utilities that future generations of Australia will rely upon.
