About me

SENIOR QUANTITY SURVEYING/CONTRACT MANAGEMENT PROFESSIONAL

As a Lead / Senior Quantity Surveying Management Professional, my professional background includes more than 28 years of experience in managing cost control, contract administration, and project financials in large-scale construction projects, including performing detailed quantity takeoffs, cost analysis, and preparation of bill of quantities (BOQs) across residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects.

Over the years, my career in quantity surveying has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of the financial and contractual aspects of construction projects mainly in Petroleum, Oil & Gas. I have successfully managed cost planning and control for projects ranging from commercial developments to large-scale infrastructure works.

I am presently working with PDO (Petroleum Development Oman) – Muscat, Oman as Lead Quantity Surveyor – Rabab Harweel Integrated Project & North and South Portfolio – B & Megaprojects.
