Southern Contracts Team

Paul Kevern

Technical Manager

One of the company’s longest-serving employees, ever-reliant Paul has shown his professional diversity by undertaking various roles during his career with SMD. Originally joining as a CAD Technician he was promoted to Drawing Office Manager, keeping as many as 10 CAD technicians in check across the UK. He was involved with setting up SMD’s overseas detailing and support office in India, travelling to the country on various occasions to help support the team. Paul loves a spicy Indian curry, so it didn’t take much arm-twisting for him to help. Since the individual roles from the Drawing Office Department were moved into the Contract Teams, his role has changed slightly and he now oversees the design and technical aspects of the technical processes. He also develops in-house tools for CAD software, including AutoCAD and Tekla, for all CAD Technicians in each of SMD’s Contract Teams whilst delivering his own workload for the Southern Contracts. Notable contracts Paul has worked on include The Shard and Broadgate, both in London, and Heathrow Airport – a few of the many he has helped to deliver.
