Employee Profiles

  • DIRECTOR, NAVAL ARCHITECT

    BEng (Nav. Arch.) | MRINA CEng | RPEQ | AMSA Surveyor

    Chris Tucker grew up sailing and racing catamarans, competing in his first adult national title event at the age of 12 and winning his first title as a skipper at the age of 17. At 19 years of age he competed in Australia’s iconic Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. With this background it was arguably inevitable that he would seek a career in a marine related field and as soon as he finished high school he enrolled to study Naval Architecture at the University of New South Wales.

    While at university Chris became a keen member and eventually leader of the UNSW Solar Racing Team and was key in the design and construction of their second vehicle Sunswift 2. Building the car from aerospace grade carbon fibre allowed Chris to develop skills in both composite engineering and practical construction techniques.

    For seven years after graduating Chris spent his time honing his skills as a naval architect working with world leaders in various aspects of the field, Austal Ships (world leader in high speed aluminium vessel design and construction), Roger Hill Yacht Design and Warwick Yacht Design.

  • MECHANICAL ENGINEER

    BE (Mechanical Engineering) | RMIT

    Nick is a mechanical engineer based in Melbourne who is driven by a lifelong passion for engineering and the ocean. Graduating with Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering (Honours) from RMIT, he has used his degree in combination with a lifetime of mechanical projects to develop practical problem solving skills and an ability to think laterally.

    Growing up on the southern Mornington Peninsula, Nick has grown up around the water. A keen boater, fisherman, surfer and surf lifesaver Nick knows his way around boats and has developed a keen interest in hull design and construction.

    As CTMD's first full-time Mechanical Engineer, Nick plays a pivotal role in broadening the company's skill set and bringing a unique perspective to the team. His expertise and innovative approach contribute to the company's success in tackling diverse engineering challenges across a range of projects. Nick wishes to develop his skills in Naval Architecture and eventually become an AMSA surveyor to fully round out his skillset in the future.
