I had the pleasure of working with Thomas Mills (Director - Bluearch) on the Wheatstone LNG Project, Onslow WA. He played a key role across a multi-billion-dollar portfolio of work that featured various contract models. In his role as Quantity Surveyor, he provided cost planning, procurement control and contract administration oversight, creating trust and confidence with our customer. Thomas has gone on to found Bluearch, a provider of professional services, where he continues to drive commercial outcomes throughout the project life cycle for his customers.
