Shawn Gilbert - Heavy Equipment Engineering and Operations Manager
Born on September 8, 1975, I am a proud husband and father of three whose fascination with mechanics began in childhood. I vividly remember dismantling my toy cars at the age of three, eager to understand how they worked. That curiosity grew into a lifelong passion, and in my late teens, a chance encounter while walking past Nassau Ready Mix sparked my connection with heavy machinery. That summer, I joined their mechanic shop, setting the foundation for my career.
My professional journey advanced when I joined Tropical Shipping Company in 2005, where I gained valuable experience and completed training in crane operation and hydraulic systems. In 2012, I became Lead Technician at Arawak Port Development (APD), where I’ve witnessed and contributed to the port’s remarkable transformation. From mastering the company’s first state-of-the-art cranes to helping integrate newer Liebherr and Kone models, I’ve taken pride in ensuring our equipment operates at the highest standard.
Today, as H.E.O. Manager at APD, I remain committed to excellence, innovation, and mentorship. My goal is to bridge the past, present, and future by developing new talent and advancing the company’s technical capabilities—ensuring APD continues to deliver exceptional service to the Bahamas for years to come.
