What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead end-to-end telecom and transmission projects—planning schedules and budgets, coordinating teams, managing risks and OHS, and driving quality outcomes with continuous improvement.

I’m an Electrical engineer with +20 years of Experience in Telecommunication, Power engineering, Manage Service Operation and end-to-end Project Management gained during working for a number of leading telecom companies in Iraq. I bring a strong track record in Teams Building, Teams Training, Cross-Functional Team Coordination, Quality assurance, and Operation and Maintenance management.

Most recently, I served as a Project manager at QTS –Quality Telecom Service (Huawei Vendor / Zain Iraq), leading Huawei MW Transmission and Wireless Projects—implementing project plans, defining scope and deliverables, and coordinating with customers to align requirements with business objectives. I’m responsible for schedules, timelines, budgets, risk assessment, regular status meetings, monitoring project expenses, and ensuring lessons learned for continuous improvement. Earlier, as a Transmission Back Office Engineer and as an Operation FLM Area Manager/Supervisor, I supported and led Transmission Links health checks and outage/fault handling, managed preventive maintenance (PVM), LOS/RF surveys, restorations, installations and re-route operations, and ensured ATP (acceptance) and site documentation. I also continuously invest in learning new tools and practices, supported by extensive telecom and EHS/OSH training.
