01 Profile

A senior HSE professional with a systems mindset.

Owning the safety plan end-to-end — from mobilization through to handover — across general construction, fit-out, infrastructure, and heavy lifting projects in the UAE.

Health, Safety & Environmental Professional with over 20 years of experience in the UAE, specializing in general construction, fit-out, and infrastructure projects. Extensive background working with both main contractors and specialist subcontractors, ensuring compliance with local and international safety standards. Experienced in the transport sector with expertise in heavy earth-moving operations and specialized lifting activities — delivering safe, efficient, and compliant project execution.
02 Operational Impact

From site officer to operational HSE leader.

Bridging traditional UAE site safety with modern systems — dashboards, structured workflows, and decision-grade reporting that turns daily observations into management-level insight.

01

HSE implementation leadership

Owning the full project safety plan — from mobilization through to handover — and aligning company, subcontractor, and client expectations on a single operational framework.

02

Corrective action systems

Structured NCR / CAR registers with root-cause analysis, due-date tracking, and verification — closing the loop on findings instead of letting them drift on a paper log.

03

Dashboard-driven monitoring

Power BI and advanced Excel dashboards converting daily inspections, near-misses, and toolbox attendance into trend lines, leading indicators, and management KPIs.

04

Subcontractor coordination

Pre-mobilization audits, daily inspections, and a documented penalty / stop-work system that brings third parties up to the project standard without grinding production to a halt.

05

Consultant & client coordination

Working directly with consultants and clients — Meraas, Nakheel, Cayan, Lootah, Owner's Associations — to translate consultant safety regimes into site-executable controls.

06

UAE compliance fluency

Deep familiarity with Dubai Municipality, DM Trakhees, JAFZA, and Civil Defense regimes — keeping sites audit-ready for any unannounced inspection or consultant walk-through.

07

NCR & CAR workflows

Issuing, tracking, and verifying Non-Conformance Reports and Corrective Action Requests across multiple contractors with full audit trail in SharePoint.

08

Reporting & trend monitoring

Daily, weekly, and monthly safety reporting with statistical NCR / accident registers that pinpoint critical areas before they become injuries — not after.

09

Digital HSE adoption

Moving paper-based registers into SharePoint, Teams, and dashboard tools — keeping document control, traceability, and access discipline the project deserves.

03 Core Capabilities

What I own on every project.

Practical, audited, and documented — the things that hold up when a Dubai Municipality, Trakhees, or JAFZA inspector walks on site.

A · 01

Project HSE leadership

End-to-end ownership of the project safety plan — from mobilization and induction through to handover. Aligning company, subcontractor, and client expectations on a single framework.

A · 02

Construction & fit-out

Towers, recladding, refurbishment, schools, military and government facilities. Deep familiarity with Dubai Municipality, DM Trakhees, and consultant-led safety regimes.

A · 03

Heavy lifting & earthworks

Lift plans, rigging studies, and ground-conditions reviews for crawler cranes, mobile cranes, and earth-moving fleets on infrastructure and energy projects.

A · 04

Risk & incident management

Risk assessments, JSAs, near-miss tracking, and root-cause investigation. Structured NCR registers and statistical reporting that surface trends before they become injuries.

A · 05

Subcontractor compliance

Pre-mobilization audits, daily inspections, and a documented penalty / stop-work system that brings third parties up to standard without grinding work to a halt.

A · 06

Training & toolbox talks

Safety awareness sessions tailored to actual site hazards — scaffolding, work-at-height, hot work, confined space, electrical, lifting — with sign-off and effectiveness checks.

04 Selected Experience

Two decades of UAE site work.

Senior HSE roles across main contractors and specialist subcontractors — from Dubai's iconic towers to military, energy, and infrastructure programs.
