Background

About Matthew Allen

I bring a consultant’s mindset to everything I do—analytical problem-solving, collaboration, and creating tailored solutions. My career started in asbestos management, where I supported multinational clients with compliance and risk mitigation, before completing a Bachelor of Civil and Structural Engineering (Honours) in 2024.At Tonkin, I work across asset management and automotive engineering. On the asset side, I help clients optimise infrastructure through GIS-integrated systems, asset registers, and renewal forecasting. On the automotive side, I support vehicle modifications, compliance, and certifications—a professional extension of a personal passion for engineering and performance vehicles.Outside of work, I’ve built a strong track record in leadership and sport. As President of the UniSA Pedal Prix team, I led a successful team in the world’s largest human-powered racing series, before founding and continuing to lead ELEMNT Racing Inc, a high-performance racing team taking multiple race victories in its debut season. These roles have given me hands-on experience in team management, sponsorship engagement, strategy, and engineering innovation under pressure.I’m passionate about blending consulting, engineering, and my love of vehicles to deliver practical solutions and push the boundaries of performance—whether in infrastructure, mobility, or sport.
