Thomas is a process engineer with experience in water treatment, as well as previously in manufacturing. Thomas holds a BE in Chemical Engineering from the University of New South Wales.
In his time at CWT, Thomas has been involved with several projects involving on-site work such as jar testing for plant optimisation, pilot plant operations, as well as the development of operations manuals, and preparation of proposal/tender documentation. He has recently undertaken a 6-week secondment with Isaac Regional Council (QLD) where he was able to conduct on-site jar testing for the restart of a local water treatment plant. As part of the secondment, he also led an investigation into the performance of various spectrophotometers, through rigorous comparative testing.
