Background

Built on the Ground. Proven in the Field.

André St. Hill graduated from the University of the West Indies with a BEng in Civil Engineering before completing his MSc in Structural Engineering at the University of Manchester. Returning to Saint Lucia in 2010, he has since led structural design and site engineering on over 80 projects across 6 Eastern Caribbean islands.

His work spans residential foundations for private homes, multi-storey commercial steel-frame structures, infrastructure rehabilitation, and post-hurricane damage assessments — including Category 4 storm events in Dominica and Saint Martin. André works privately alongside his consultancy practice and accepts a selective number of new projects each quarter.
