Mark Lewis
Project Manager
A relatively new recruit, joining Fantail in early 2018. My role is to manage the mechanical contracts division. The art of my role is found within communication and I’m Van Gough with two ears. My working career before Fantail was industriously casual. The northern hemisphere summers were spent engaged as a pipefitter in the oil & gas industry, and the winters in the mountains, teaching folk how to snowboard. Eventually, stability and security called, and Fantail took me in. Outside of work, you can find me dropping a needle in to the groove of a 90’s jungle record or dreaming of hiking snowy peaks with a board on my back.
