Wadih Maalouf
@wadihmaalouf
Project Director and engineer delivering large-scale projects with data-driven precision.
What I'm looking for
I am a Project Director and engineer with over 19 years of international experience across the GCC and MENA, having delivered over 450 large-scale projects with a consistent 95% on-time delivery rate. I lead full project lifecycles—from design and pre-construction to delivery and post-maintenance—while managing complex logistics, contractor coordination, and CAPEX oversight.
My leadership emphasizes data-driven governance using tools like Monday.com, MS Project, and Power BI to provide stakeholders with full visibility and proactive risk mitigation. I combine hands-on technical skills in AutoCAD, Visio, and Adobe Photoshop CS with strategic business development and feasibility study expertise to scale ventures and optimize operations.
I am an early adopter of blockchain since 2017, focused on leveraging decentralized solutions and smart contracts to improve procurement and transparency. Fluent in English and French and a native Arabic speaker, I deliver high-impact results with integrity, innovation, and professional stewardship.
