Tom Dennis

General Manager – Operations

When I originally joined Bowhill engineering as an experienced tradesperson back in 2012 it was hard to imagine that within that year, I would be appointed Production Manager and hold that role for the next 10 years. This growth period saw our staff levels double, along with the size of our projects.

This crazy crash course of personal and business growth has built me into the manager and leader that I am today, I am excited and totally committed to driving Bowhill Engineering to further success through my current role as General Manager.

Those that know me will attest to my hard-working attitude, drive, and strong focus on living up to our values, getting the projects out the door to the highest level whilst investing in the growth of our people.

I’ve had the privilege of building some amazing projects over the years at Bowhill, thousands of tonnes of steel girders, skids, ferries and pontoons, over hundreds of different projects. My favourite will always be the next one, I love the problem solving and planning process, working out how we are going to improve the methodology of the next build.

Outside of work I’m a family man with an amazing wife and three lovely kids, we are adventure obsessed and love nothing more than heading off touring into the bush or to the beach. I’d be best described as an outdoor person, I love fishing, hiking and hunting, always pushing for the next goal or challenge that normally results in a freezing pre-dawn morning or sweltering afternoon up bush
