Summary
I am an experienced mechanical engineer with over 15 years of experience, holding a Master of Professional Engineering and a Bachelor of Engineering Science (Mechanical). My expertise lies in the water industry, where I have managed and delivered numerous Water and Wastewater Treatment projects. My career began at Weir Minerals, a specialist in mine dewatering solutions, before progressing to Advanced Aquarium Technologies, where I was responsible for Life Support System designs. I later joined The Jetty Specialist as a Project Engineer. Currently, I am a Senior Mechanical Engineer and Project Manager at GANDEN Engineers and Project Managers, where I oversee and manage various Water and Wastewater Treatment projects to ensure efficient and sustainable solutions.
