Summary:

I am an engineer with more than 30 years of experience. I am looking for a leadership position in the management/marketing industry and willing to relocate. I also have a strong educational background: BSc Architectural Engineering (which is a combined program of civil engineering and architecture) has exposed me to all related subjects related to design concepts, structural design, and construction systems. My MSc degree in Construction Management provided me with the tools needed to manage construction sites, My Ph.D. degree has exposed me to the business models and management needed to make the best use of available resources.

Through the past thirty years, I gained the needed experience to deal with sub-contractors, source for vendors, make estimates of material and execution time, plan for projects, re-engineer divisions and lead them to more success. The vast locations and environments I encountered with multinational companies have strengthened my ability to work with different cultures, nationals, different scope of work, stress, and regulations. I have joined numerous number of seminars and exhibitions to either source products, upgrade my knowledge to be up to date in the daily life practices. Moreover, I have attended many exhibitions worldwide to either source for services/products for our undergoing projects or to exhibit our services and products.

From all the above, I believe I have gained the needed knowledge and experience to be successful in any job I undertake, and to further make a success story for the firm I join.
