In 1999, with his colleagues at CSIRO he developed the RoadCrack system, the first system in the world able to detect road fractures as thin as one millimetre while travelling at high-speed. In 2001 he was instrumental in establishing the Australian Centre for Precision Optics, of which in 2009 he was Chief Operating Officer. His research interest is the development and application of precision optical metrology based on phase-shifting interferometry and other techniques. This research has led to the development of precision manufacturing machinery, including the Optical Surface Profiler (OSP130) which was developed for the Royal Australian Mint.

In 1999 Oreb (with colleagues) was awarded the CSIRO Medal for Research Achievement for the development of the RoadCrack system using innovative vision technology.
