Prior to this role Paul focused on management, growth and strategic positioning of Montgomery Watson Constructors as Managing Director in Australia and the Asia region. The role’s key responsibility was to manage the financial performance of the business while continuing to grow the business in-line with the corporate vision. The role covered both regional and global roles and included all strategic business decisions, alliances, joint ventures, marketing and project delivery. Part of the global role was the development and implementation of an e-business strategy for design-build projects that integrated all sectors of the business from pre-contracts and design to procurement, construction, operations and maintenance. Before joining Montgomery Watson, Paul was a senior manager with Thames Water, involved in the environmental industry with particular emphasis on design-build construction, BOO(T) projects and water and wastewater operating and maintenance concession contracts.
Prior, Paul was a Project Manager, Control Systems Engineer and Commissioning Engineer on design-build projects throughout Australia and the Asia Pacific region. Paul operated his own computer systems engineering company for a number of years both designing and implementing systems in a variety of industries from power stations to Airports. After graduation Paul worked as a research scientist for the Victorian Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs where he gained experience in design of high tech computer systems and computer modelling. During this time Paul registered two patents in conjunction with BHP for specialised membrane generation systems using complex control algorithms for the export of highly perishable horticultural produce by sea transport.
