What I'm looking for

I seek opportunities that foster innovation and allow for professional growth in engineering and project management.

I am a Senior Project Engineer with extensive experience in managing retrofitting projects for ships. Currently, I lead a team at MOUAWAD Consulting AS, where I oversee all aspects of project management and product development, ensuring compliance with International Maritime Organization (IMO) standards. My role involves technical specification reports, data analysis, and 2D-3D modeling using Autodesk products.

Previously, I served as an Electrical Project Engineer, where I was responsible for overseeing retrofitting systems on existing ships, from preliminary design to commissioning. My experience also includes working as a Site Engineer during the Beirut renovation program, where I coordinated teams to implement reparations after the port explosion. I have a strong foundation in electrical engineering, supported by my education from Notre Dame University and various certifications.
