“Throughout his career, Paul has held leadership and technical roles, including Department Head, Design Lead, and Project Manager. His professional profile is marked by a track record of delivering innovative engineering solutions, leading multidisciplinary teams, and navigating the intersection of infrastructure and policy,” SLASPA said.
A graduate of the University of Manchester with a Master of Science in Structural Engineering and the University of the West Indies with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, Paul also holds a Project Management Professional (PMP) certification from the Project Management Institute (USA)—highlighting his capacity to manage complex capital projects with efficiency and strategic oversight.
He is a Registered Professional Engineer in both Saint Lucia and the Republic of Trinidad & Tobago, a distinction that complements his longstanding commitment to engineering excellence and regional development.
