Tim is an engineering writer with extensive experience, acquired as both engineer and writer, in the mining, energy, and IT industries. This course reflects Tim's experience as engineer, businessman, and professional writer, accumulated over 25 years of learning how to most effectively use the English language as a business tool.

Tim specialises in the production of technical reports for large mining studies. "My job as report editor," Tim says, "is to take the contributions of 20 or more authors, each with their own individual writing style, and create a consistently professional final product that clearly conveys the key messages, while reading as if it were written by a single, accomplished author."

Prior to becoming a professional writer, Tim worked as a mining engineer on ore reserves, geotechnical, mine design, mine production, and long-term planning studies for both open-pit and underground mines in Australia, South Africa, North America, and South America producing precious metals, diamonds, copper, lead-zinc, bauxite, coal, and limestone.
