Gary Lee Vella

I hold a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from the University of Malta, along with Authorisation A and B electrical licences. My work sits where theory meets the site: circuit design, control systems, power electronics, and the practical job of making installations safe, compliant, and reliable.

Full time, I am Maintenance Manager at Farsons. I look after maintenance across the brewery, the process block, water treatment, and the microbrewery: The Chapels restaurant and Red Mill microbrewery. Farsons produces Malta’s local beer, Cisk, together with Carlsberg, along with brands such as Skol and Soltoro.

Part time, I am an Electrical Engineer at CPI – Central Power Installations, where I worked full time as a technician until 2026. I take on projects and handle electrical design and design review. Alongside work, I completed a UK-accredited Project Management programme at MQF Level 6 with Malta Business School.

Outside engineering, I spend most of my time with the ZIBEL NGO, diving on marine clean-ups. I am a karate black belt and a European Championships bronze medallist, though I stepped away from the sport a few years ago. I have also presented several Maltese TV programmes.
