More About Paul Finnimore
Paul was raised in the coastal town of Redcar, so has extensive knowledge of the local area, and attended Teesside University where he graduated in 2009 with a Bachelor of Civil Engineering.
In his early years, he worked in a specialist geotechnical laboratory based in the North East of England, where he carried out earthworks testing, geotechnical testing and in-situ testing. After leaving the lab, he moved on to large scale contract supervision work where he worked on large infrastructure projects, the largest being a pipeline scheme from Peterhead to Grangemouth involving several rigs at once.
For a decade, Paul dedicated his expertise to a local geotechnical consultancy, progressing from a Graduate Geotechnical Engineer to a seasoned Project Manager. His tenure was marked by his involvement in diverse tasks, including desk-based assessments, brownfield site investigations, validation of earthworks, and complex underground mine investigations. Concurrently, he pursued further education at Newcastle University, culminating in a master’s degree in Geotechnical Engineering in 2016.
The company moved to largescale contracting work, and Paul was able to use his multiple skills and competencies to deliver large site investigations for multi-million-pound projects nationally, which included the site investigation for Westfield Court Student Accommodation Block at The University of Hull, Earthworks testing at Windsor Castle for the Queens Diamond Jubilee and several large ground investigations at the local oil refinery Conoco Phillips in Seal Sands.
Prior to joining Earth Environmental & Geotechnical Ltd, Paul had moved to a local company where he set up his own earthworks department, worked project management, and tendered for work, also working onsite and hands-on drilling boreholes and producing onsite reports for the clients.
