Hi, I’m Thomas Banks
With 19 years’ experience in offshore and inshore survey operations, I have developed a broad and practical understanding of the industry across multiple project phases. My early offshore career focused primarily on MBES and SSS surveys, building a solid technical foundation in data acquisition and offshore operations.
I later moved into construction support projects, including product lay, piling, structure installations and dive support, which expanded my experience into more complex, time-critical environments. More recently, I have been working with AUV systems, an area I am particularly interested in developing further.
I have extensive experience mobilising a wide range of vessels, from long-term charters to vessels of opportunity, as well as ROVs and towed equipment. This has given me strong working knowledge of a large variety survey equipment and software suites. I bring sound technical capability, high computer literacy, and proven competence in system integration, networking, and fault diagnosis in both offshore and workshop environments.
