About Me
With over a decade of academic service at the Kirkuk Technical Institute (Northern Technical University), I have worked as an Assistant Lecturer and Senior Technical Trainer in the civil technique department. My role includes teaching core subjects like Soil Mechanics, Building Construction, and Engineering Surveying, while also guiding students in practical labs and training them in software tools such as AutoCAD, ArcGIS, and Primavera 6. I hold an MSc in Water Resources Engineering from the University of Tikrit (2011–2014), supported by a research mission at the University of Arizona, USA, where I focused on watershed management using the AGWA2 model. My academic journey started with a BSc in Civil Engineering from Al-Mustansiriya University in Baghdad.
In addition to my academic career, I bring over 25 years of engineering experience across Iraq and the UAE. From 2004 to 2009, I served as a Resident Engineer, Assistant Resident Engineer, and Project Engineer with INCORPORATED Consultants CONIN and AL AJMI Engineering Consultant in Dubai. During this time, I managed multiple multimillion-dollar projects, overseeing technical and contractual aspects, reviewing CPM work programs, coordinating with contractors and suppliers, and ensuring safety and quality standards in line with Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority regulations. My leadership on site included chairing progress meetings with client representatives and enforcing QA/QC procedures.
Earlier in my career, between 2000 and 2004, I worked with various Iraqi government institutions, including the Ministries of Defense and Higher Education, as a Project Engineer. In 2013–2014, I took on a leadership role with Proctal Ltd (UK) and Caterpillar, managing a $16M+ 45 MW power station project for Iraq’s Ministry of Electricity, where I oversaw civil works, project scheduling via Primavera, and international coordination between Iraq and the UK. Throughout my career, I have earned multiple certifications in project management, watershed modeling, planning, and quality control, and I’m a registered member of the Iraqi Engineers Union.
