Dear Sir/Madam:
I am sending my resume in regards to the position in Telecommunication in which who can speak fluent English & Arabic and international experience in Team leading .
I am Canadian Citizen; I have a degree in Electrical &electronic engineering with communication from University of East London, since completing my studies I worked for National Telecommunication Company (Wataniya) in Kuwait as RF optimization engineer where I was responsible for Quarter of Kuwait in optimizing the radio network system.
Then I joined (MTN ) since Sep.2004 as RF Planning & Optimization Supervisor; I was delegated to work in two project s, (MTN Syria & MTN Cyprus)Handling Damascus, Homs & Middle Area in term of Optimization
After that I Joined (Ericsson Egypt) in Egypt as RF Capacity & Optimization Team leader consultant, where I am responsible for a team for KPI monitoring and capacity optimization. Then I joined (Huawei Norway) in Norway as RNO Consultant in June 2011where I am responsible for accepting Area Sites after being Swapped in Norway as well as optimization for the affected degradation Cells.
April 2012, I was working as RF Consultant in (Kuwait VIVA Project), where I am handling Viva project for enhancing coverage and quality point of views. as well as optimizing top affected cells in term of KPI.
(Huawei Canada) previously recruit me as RF Engineer where my ideal target is to Support the RF Sales Team in term of Technical issues for customer requirement as well As Support LTE Team and 3G Team in Day to day Activity for managed services Project across Canada.
Lately I joined (Huawei Kuwait) as LTE Team Leader, My ideal responsibilities to Lead &Support LTE engineers in monitoring the Acceptance LTE sites after being swapped to Huawei & maintain the KPI for Ooredoo projects (Ericsson& Huawei) as well as interface with customer regarding optimization Activity for KPI enhancement.
I would greatly appreciate an interview and hope to hear from you soon. Contact information is in the letterhead, and the best way to reach me is by email. Thanks for your time and consideration.
