Shaun Burgess

Wollongong
Principal | Team Leader | Senior Electrical & VT Engineer

As a Principal and Senior Electrical & Vertical Transport Engineer at Northrop, Shaun combines technical depth with a user-first mindset to deliver practical, people-focused design.

Appointed Principal in 2025, Shaun plays a key leadership role across Northrop’s electrical and vertical transport disciplines. Based in Wollongong and leading VT design across NSW since 2014, he has delivered complex MEP projects across education, residential, senior living, and commercial sectors. His work includes award-winning developments such as Edensor Gardens and SGCH’s 11 Gibbons Street, Redfern.

Shaun is known for his creative thinking and calm approach when ideas do not go to plan, qualities valued by teammates and clients alike. Outside of work, he is a devoted dad and passionate home cook — not a chef, but always ready to experiment with a few extra spices.
