As a Field Officer Engineer, I led technical site visits for projects, assisting in feasibility studies and idea formulation. I prepared preliminary designs, BOQs, cost estimates, and technical specifications summaries. Throughout the bidding process, I provided technical support, addressed queries, conducted site visits, and evaluated proposals. I validated works through quality control processes and submitted detailed technical reports. Additionally, I supervised contractors and suppliers to ensure compliance with technical specifications and schedules. I contributed to community stabilization and development programs by writing technical elements for proposals, conducting community profiles and meetings, and maintaining stakeholder relationships for effective development projects.
I led the wastewater division team, ensuring that projects’ goals are aligned with government policies and national strategies. I developed and implemented operation, maintenance, and safety plans for wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and lifting stations in south Lebanon. Monitoring operational reports, I maintained efficient treatment and environmental effluent standards. Additionally, I led the design of WWTPs and infrastructure projects, and guided the execution of rehabilitation projects for treatment plants and sewer networks. Analyzing the wastewater masterplan, I proposed essential sewerage projects. I issued technical specifications for tender documents, assessed bidders both technically and financially, and tracked budgets and schedules for tasks. Also, my responsibilities included formal coordination with governmental institutions, ministries, and NGOs.
I planned and executed all HVAC, plumbing, firefighting, and sanitation works, ensuring seamless coordination with electrical and civil teams. Assigning daily targets, I ensured successful completion of tasks. Additionally, I ensured compliance of mechanical work with approved drawings and specifications, and generated estimates and bills of materials from mechanical shop drawings.
I organized the factory's work plan, increasing production rates and meeting predefined schedules. I adjusted the waste optimization process to reduce raw material waste. Additionally, I implemented a reverse osmosis water treatment system for the production line, facilitating the addition of sensitive Low-E coated glass to the company's product offerings.
