We are proud to announce Clayton Franklin as our guest speaker for this year’s Western Australian APEA AGM and end-of-year event! Belgium Beer Café. Wed 27th November, from 5.30 with a start time of 6pm. Members are welcome to bring colleagues. RSVP: https://lnkd.in/gVJ5mSqT Clayton Franklin is the Founder, Owner, and Chief Engineer of EPCA - Electric Power Conversions Australia, a company dedicated to retrofitting diesel-powered mining vehicles into fully electric systems. With over 25 years of experience in mining and construction, Clayton is a TÜV Certified Electrical Engineer who completed his Bachelor's Degree in Electrical & Electronic Engineering with Honours in 1997 and holds a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Curtin University. A proud Wunumara man from Cloncurry, Queensland, Clayton's early life on his family's organic banana farm fostered a strong connection to his heritage and a passion for innovation. Alongside his father, a mechanical engineer, he developed technologies to assist with farm operations, including electrifying a petrol-driven 4-wheeler that still operates today using solar power. Throughout his career, Clayton has been a strong advocate for rural and Indigenous communities. In 2004, he joined Bushlight, a program supplying renewable energy systems to remote Aboriginal communities, where he was responsible for design and product improvements. Bushlight installed over 140 systems across remote communities and won the Engineers Excellence Award for Australia in 2006. At EPCA, founded in 2021, Clayton leads a team focused on reducing the mining industry's carbon footprint by converting diesel-powered mining trucks to battery-electric vehicles. Notably, he spearheaded the development of a 220-tonne hydrogen-battery hybrid mining truck and the electrification of a D65 Epiroc drill rig. Under Clayton's leadership, EPCA plans to retrofit up to 70 trucks annually, contributing significantly to sustainable mining practices in Australia. #solarpower #ElectricalEngineer #indigenousbusiness #wapol #westernaustralia #greenenergy #AusSTEM #theSTEMunion #STEM #womeninstem #stemworkers #unions #unionmember #uniondelegate #unionwin #unionstrong #activism #auspol #ausunions #professionalsaustralia
