About our Founder
Bilva Project Solutions was founded by Amod Datar, a project delivery, engineering, operations and maintenance specialist with more than 30 years of experience across Australia's industrial, manufacturing, mining, energy and international marine sectors.
After a decade in the merchant navy, Amod moved into the Queensland heavy industry, with particular depth in industrial chemicals and environmental management. He has personally delivered programs valued in the hundreds of millions, from acid plant turnarounds and ammonia projects to fertiliser complex decommissioning, demolition, remediation and regulatory compliance. His work spans the full project lifecycle, from business case and early engineering through commissioning and operations to end-of-life decommissioning, demolition and site remediation. Clients value his hands-on approach.
A specialist in organisational structures and defect elimination, he is as comfortable troubleshooting on the plant floor as he is managing schedules, contracts and stakeholders and regulators across the table.
He founded Bilva to bring senior, practical project delivery to Australian industry without the overheads of a large consultancy, built on a simple conviction: that clients deserve both quality and economy, never a trade-off between the two. That is Bilva's promise, "For Quality, For Economy, Choose Bilva."
Mentoring is central to it. Amod develops the engineers and project professionals he works with, building capability that stays with a client's team long after a project is complete.
Based in Brisbane and serving clients across Australia, he works shoulder to shoulder with operators, engineers, vendors and contractors, drawing on overseas vendor relationships to deliver economical solutions.
When Amod takes on a project, he takes ownership of it. That is the standard Bilva was built to deliver.
