Background

About Paul Chilvers

I am the Great Yarmouth Regional Director for Offshore Design Engineering Ltd (ODE), where I have been a senior manager for 14 years. As the Regional Director I have overall responsibility for all aspects of ODE’s business carried out from the Great Yarmouth office, which includes all P&L, business development and delivery of projects. I am highly experienced and motivated manager with extensive experience of administering, monitoring and controlling projects, providing clients with added value through demonstrable and effective project control. I have over thirty years experience in the Energy/Marine/Renewables related industries with extensive project and contract management capability. This experience has been gained whilst working for various local and international companies such as Aker Kvaerner, Shell, Grootcon, McAlpine, Protech and SLP. I originally started my working life as an apprentice at Brooke Marine Ship Builders in Lowestoft, progressing with differing organisations through various supervision roles into senior management positions. During this time I continued with my education through to MSc level. As a manager I demonstrate strong leadership skills, which combined with my extensive project management capability ensures that I am a very effective leader. When carrying out the process of project management and the execution of the work, I am able to utilise a combination of technical knowledge, social and personal skills and conceptual ability to ensure projects/tasks are completed to the mutual satisfaction of all stakeholders.
