What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a challenging, growth-oriented organization with diverse responsibility—where I can use my knowledge, skill, experience, and technical abilities to deliver compliant projects, cost control, and continuous process improvement.

I’m a Project Manager and Facilities leader focused on “challenging and rewarding” delivery in growth-oriented organizations. Since Oct 2022, I’ve managed teams of supervisors, technicians, and janitors while preparing AMCs, quotations, and proposals—and coordinating specialized contractors across multiple Emaar, Damac, DIFC, and private properties.

Previously as a Facilities Manager, I supervised and delegated skilled staff totaling 200, owned operations across 2000+ villas and 45 buildings, and strengthened service quality through revised AMCs and structured RFQs/RFPs. I implemented cost-saving initiatives via Chiller Plant Manager across the portfolio, achieving recurring monthly savings of 20% and reducing operational budget by 25%.

I bring a compliance-first mindset from building and maintenance experience, including ISO 9001 and 14001 implementation, OHSAS 18001 training for audits, and strict safety standards. I’m also experienced in budgets, CAPEX/OPEX process flow, inspections, snagging, tendering, and project renovation work—so projects are delivered with approvals, control, and continuous improvement.
