I hold a Master Degree in Civil engineering with specialization in Environmental Engineering from VJTI (formally known as “Victoria Jubilee Institute of Technology”) a leading Engineering College affiliated to Mumbai University, India. I have over 14 years Civil Engineering experience mainly in utilities. I have to my credit the responsibility of designing and overlooking the utility services for many prestigious infrastructure projects. I have been involved in projects right from the concept stage through to design and construction. My salient quality is my sound knowledge of the design of:

� potable water network � sewerage network � wastewater treatment plants, � irrigation network � Storm water network

I believe in team work and communicate effectively with engineers, clients, contractors and senior management. Throughout my career, I had consistently demonstrated the ability to manage and coordinate the design to construction activities of large multidisciplinary infrastructure projects to a standard which ensures client satisfaction which eventually leads to achievement of in-house strategic objectives. This is due plethora of highly sought after competencies in:

� design � quality control � engineering knowledge � team building � coordination of multi-disciplinary design, construction issues � Personnel coaching and mentoring.

Currently I am employed as Senior Design Engineer (Water and Wastewater) for WSP –Middle East in Sharjah. My responsibilities include designing complex projects using latest engineering techniques and tools. As a Senior Engineer I guide multi disciplinary engineering and CAD team to complete the project with excellent design within time schedule. Being a senior design engineer, I take the responsibility and pride in providing guidance to junior engineers eventually leading to their career enhancement. I was/in involved in many prestigious projects which include Jumeirah Lake Towers and Extension, International City Phases 2&3, Aqua Dunya Master Plan and Infrastructure Engineering Design, Downtown Jebel Ali Infrastructure Detail Design, and The
