Tobias Kuhlmann graduated with a Bachelor of Mechatronic Engineering (Hons 1st Class) from the University of Canterbury in 2016. He worked as a project engineer in the refrigeration and HVAC field for nearly 5 years, working on a variety of projects throughout New Zealand. As a project engineer, he worked with clients small and large alike, dedicating his efforts to ensure the customer would receive a quality product.
Following his endeavours in the refrigeration & HVAC industry, he decided to take a year long sabbatical to reflect on his experiences and his potential career paths going forward. During this year he took the opportunity to explore the various showings of the South Island.
As a sign of the appreciation of what NZ had to offer, he sought out employment opportunities which may aid with sustainability and perseveration, leading him to find Vortex. He’s now working as a project administrator, supporting the project engineering team throughout the many jobs Vortex takes on.
