Previous Experience:

Ken Burnett began his career in 1973 working for Bennett and Francis undertaking various survey tasks throughout Brisbane and Southeast Queensland. His work also took him as far west as Cunnamulla and Cloncurry.

Whilst completing a Bachelor of Applied Science (Surveying) degree, he undertook 6 months work experience for an oil exploration company undertaking Seismic Surveys in Western Queensland, the Simpson Desert and Western Australia.

In 1981 Ken transferred to joint company called Schlencker, Bennett and Francis at Rockhampton where he gained experience in dealing with various Local Authorities and State and Federal Government Departments.

He then went to work in Victoria in 1987 on the Portland Smelter Site and then continued to work as a Registered Surveyor for Gissing and Smith. Ken was involved in large urban subdivisions throughout Melbourne and surrounds as well as relocation and strata subdivisions.

Returning to Queensland Ken worked on the gas pipeline across the Expedition Ranges west of Gladstone.

In 1988 Ken joined the firm of Brown and Pluthero where he was mainly responsible for the day to day organisation of up to 12 field parties. Responsibilities included the coordination and survey management of large projects that the company undertook including consultation with Local Government, Engineers and Developers.

In 1993 Ken left Brown and Pluthero to work with K R Fulton and Associates for a short time before forming a partnership with Rod Schlencker in March of 1994, to open Schlencker Surveying (Qld) Pty Ltd at the Gold Coast.
