Director of Engineering EMEA•Colleague

I had the pleasure of working closely with Zubair at Troup Bywaters + Anders, where we were part of the same engineering team delivering complex MEP and energy projects. Even at that stage in his career, Zubair stood out as an exceptionally capable and forward-thinking engineer. Zubair combines deep technical expertise in MEP, energy systems and building services with a rare ability to see the bigger picture at masterplan and infrastructure level. His understanding spans not only detailed engineering design but also utilities integration, sustainability strategies, and the commercial drivers behind major developments. This breadth is something I have seen him continue to build throughout his career. He is particularly strong in problem solving and technical leadership. Zubair has a natural ability to break down complex engineering challenges and develop practical, innovative solutions whether at building scale or across large infrastructure programmes. His work on major international projects, including giga-scale developments and energy transition initiatives, reflects both his technical depth and his ability to lead multidisciplinary teams effectively. What sets Zubair apart is his drive and commitment to excellence. He consistently pushes beyond standard practice, always looking for ways to optimise performance, improve efficiency and introduce more sustainable solutions. His work in areas such as renewable energy integration, microgrids and net-zero infrastructure is a testament to his forward-thinking approach and leadership in the industry. On a personal level, Zubair is a highly collaborative and dependable professional. He builds strong relationships with colleagues, clients, and stakeholders and is someone you can trust to take ownership and deliver often under challenging conditions and tight timelines. I would highly recommend Zubair to any organisation looking for a technically outstanding and commercially astute leader in MEP, energy, and infrastructure engineering.
