Andres is a Chartered process engineer with over four years of experience in the water sector. He started his professional career in Australia, where he worked in engineering wastewater design projects around Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. Since then, he has been working predominantly in international projects including Papua New Guinea, UK, South Africa and primarily the Middle East.

Andres specialises in the technical design of wastewater infrastructure, from feasibility to detail design phases. Most of his experience has been in the municipal wastewater and industrial wastewater (oil and gas effluent) areas.

Andres is passionate about water chemical engineering and would like to share ideas with young engineers to encourage them to pursue a career within the sector. Closing the gap between Universities, IChemE and industry is a step forward towards achieving this goal.
