Project Management Brief and Skills
With my substantial background in Consulting engineering, Construction and Construction Management, I have successfully performed the role of consultants (PMP) on several projects in the USA and in the United Arab Emirates. My diversified background has given me a great experience in working with all professional engineers in various disciplines, contractors, stakeholders, and hence it allowed me to manage the project from preconstruction to handing over. From project initiation to planning to execution to closure, as the project PMP, I have a proven track of being very effective in such specialized areas as cost control, scheduling and great communication with stakeholders by providing advanced realistic forecast during the life of the project. As the project PMP, it is my philosophy to be reasonably objective and to insist all applicable engineering disciplines have a participation in the planning and scheduling of the design stages while Moe S. Mougharbel, A.M.ASCE Updated June 2022
