Will My Non-O Visa Based on Marriage Be Affected by Getting a Work Permit in Thailand?

For the brains trust. A non- o based on marriage issued perth, oz. multiple entry. Have been on this type visa for last 11 yrs. luck would have it that i have some work (offshore) coming up in Thailand. How does this effect my non-o? IE: do I lose my non-o (expires December) or does it get put on hold so to speak from issue of work permit until permit is cancelled then valid again? Thanks in advance.
