About Daniel Knight, PhD

Daniel joined the Manteena Group in 2017, during which time he has held a senior project management position leading to his appointment as General Manager, Director and Shareholder of Zeroed Pty Ltd in 2021.

Daniel’s career commenced in Singapore where he worked as a Technical Manager delivering high security solutions for the Australian Government in overseas locations. This position expanded and led to his integral involvement in the development of a patented physical protection system for large scale cable-stayed bridges, of which was installed on infrastructure throughout Europe, the United States of America and Southeast Asia.

In 2019 Daniel assumed the position of Australian lead for Manteena’s developing shooting range capability, one that focused on the delivery of large scale live-fire training facilities for law enforcement, defence and commercial clientele. Growing the capability through 2019-2021, Daniel has been involved in all recent large scale Police training facilities built in Australia through the delivery of specialist ballistic containment and targetry solutions. This resulted in the establishment of Zeroed as an independent Manteena Group entity during the later part of 2021.

Daniel holds a PhD in Structural Engineering, a Bachelor of Civil and Structural Engineering (Hons), Bachelor of Finance (Business) and a Graduate Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety. He is a published author of peer reviewed structural engineering journals and maintains a keen interest in product developments and technologies.
