Presented to
Engineer David Anthony Yorke Smith
B.Sc.,DIC,M.Sc.,PH.D.,APEO(CA),MJIE,PEO(CA)P.E.(JM) by
THE JAMAICA INSTITUTION OF ENGINEERS on the occasion of its AnnualAwards Dinner Saturday, November 12,2022
Citation
Engineer David Anthony Yorke Smith, having earned a Government of Jamaica ScholarshiptotheUniversityoftheWestIndies,St.Augustinecampus,graduated in1971 with aBachelor of ScienceDegree(Honours) inCivil Engineering andhas subsequently distinguished himself in the profession.
After graduating, Engineer Smith returned to Jamaica to work with the Ministry of CommunicationandWorks inthePublic Works Department(PWD), wherehe was assigned to the Hydraulics Department. Under the tutelage of the Chief Engineer (Hydraulics) Rudyard Harrison,Engineer Smith worked on a number of hydraulic projects most notably the Sandy Gulley Drainage Project. Interestingly,his introductionto teaching wouldarise whileat thePWDwhenhe would train the technical personnel at the Parish Councils in structural engineering design and hydraulic engineering design as a part of their capacity building.
In 1973 Engineer Smith was awarded the Commonwealth Scholarship and pursued higher engineering studies, graduating from the world renowned Imperial College of Science & Technology, University of London in the United Kingdom with a Master of ScienceinCivil Engineering Hydraulics. On his return to the Public Works Department, Engineer Smith continued his practice in the Hydraulics Department for two more years, where he was now being asked to vet applications for coastal developments.
With Engineer Dr. Vincent Lawrence as his mentor, Engineer Smith was encouraged to apply for the Samuel McLaughlin Fellowship, Queen’s University and was awarded this fellowship in 1976 to pursue a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Coastal Engineering at Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada. On completionofhisPh.D.in1979,EngineerSmithreturnedtoJamaicawherehewas employedto theJamaicaBauxiteMining. Hewassubsequently senttoBudapest, Hungaryfor3monthsasapartoftheNegotiationandDesignTeamforaproposed smelting plant. After a year at Jamaica Bauxite Mining, Engineer Smith would again find himself teaching, this time as a lecturer in Fluid Mechanics for two years at the University of the West Indies, Trinidad.
In1982,Engineer SmithwouldreturntoCanada to workas aCoastal Engineer at SwanWoosterEngineeringinVancouver,aleadingportsandmarinecompanyin Canada. Over a four-year period he worked on the design of major ports in Senegal and throughout Africa as well as on the design of artificial islands in the Canadian Artic for oil recovery. After a merger between Swan Wooster and Sandwell in 1986, Engineer Smith was appointed Manager, Water Resources Department in their Toronto office, where he managed projects in coastal engineering, marina designs, sea defense works and shoreline conservation. Engineer Smith’s next assignment would take him to Barbados as the Project Coordinator for the Delcan, Coastal Conservation Project. It was a first of its kind four year multidisciplinary endeavour funded by the Government of Barbados and the Inter-American Development Bank. While working on this project Engineer Smith and his fellow coastal engineer Philip Warner saw the Caribbean’s vulnerability and the need to protect its uniqueness. Consequently, in 1995 they launched Smith Warner International with one tiny office in Kingston and one big project in Barbados.
Over the years, Engineer Smith has developed exemplary expertise in Beach Design, Creation and Stabilization, Environmental Impact Assessment and Shoreline Management Planning while incorporating traditional and eco friendly solutions. He has significant experience in issues relating to hazard mitigation, disaster risk management and climate change adaptation for small island states. Engineer Smith has used his in depth understanding of coastal processes in tropical environments to conduct Coastal and Oceanographic studies throughout the Caribbean. He has extensive experience with complex international marine projectsglobally,including portsandmarine designs,which has led him to undertake a number of assessments and inspections of marine structures.Engineer SmithhasalsobeenanExpertWitness since1989incomplex legal cases that have been precedent setting in Canada, Jamaica, and the island of Nevis.
Engineer Smith is currently the Director of Quality & Innovation at Smith Warner International and a Senior Lecturer (part time) in the Faculty of
Engineering, UWI, Mona, in Coastal Engineering and Fluid Mechanics. He has alsoauthoredandpresentedseveraltechnicalpublicationsonavarietyofrelated topics.
In addition to the practice of his profession, Engineer Smith has contributed to Engineering through his membership with the Jamaica Institution of Engineers where he served as its President in 2012/13. He has been actively involved in several other spheres of life including serving on the Boards of the Jamaica Railway Corporation, Toll Authority Jamaica, University Council of Jamaica, Greater Caribbean Regional Engineering Accreditation System (GCREAS) and as UWI Alumni Association Engineering Global Representative. Over the past decade he has also been involved in numerous missions for the UN and World Bank, dealing with the macro economic evaluation of natural disasters.
For his distinguished achievements and tremendous contribution to his chosen profession, the Jamaica Institution of Engineers is pleased to present Engineer David Anthony Yorke Smith, Bachelor of Science, Diploma of the Imperial College, Masters of Science, Doctor of Philosophy, Member of the Association of Professional Engineers of Ontario, Member of the Jamaica Institution of Engineers, Registered Professional Engineer in Ontario, Registered Professional Engineer in Jamaica, with the 2022 Award for Excellence in Engineering.
