Tim Wong is a Chartered Engineer with a multidisciplinary background in nuclear and defence engineering. He has extensive experience in safety certification, hazard management and material state assurance, with a specialist focus on submarines and complex maritime platforms.

He joined AACE in 2023 and currently serves as Deputy Operations Manager for the Maritime Team. In this role, he supports technical delivery across a range of MOD programmes while contributing to leadership activities such as safety engineering forums, team development, and strategic risk planning.
