Personal data
Birth: 1966, Baghdad - Iraq
Languages: Arabic, English and Danish (Learning Swedish)
Profession: Urban Water Engineer
Relevent experience/Key qualifications
8 years as a Senior Project manager and specialist in Sweden at AYA HYDRO, COWI, WSP and Sweco with tasks in Project management, hydraulic modelling, hydrologic modelling, design, climate change adaptation, flood modelling and risk assessment. Focus was on major and strategic tunnel systems, flood modelling, calibration and validation, CSO’s and pump stations in Stockholm and other urbanised areas.
17 years as urban water engineer in Denmark for a number of utilities, consultants and contractors, finalised at MT Højgaard as a Senior Design Engineer for a number of drainage system projects with focus on climate change adaptation, design, cost-benefit analysis and hydraulic modelling. All of which included analysis and design of new and modified drainage and pipe systems, pump stations, selection of renovation, rehabilitation and renewing methods, rain/flow data analysis, calibration/verification and validation of hydraulic models/systems, design of complicated hydraulic systems and testing of designed pipe/channel net systems. I carry out risk assessment, planning, quality assurance, economy management and feasibility studies. I am experienced in the areas of structural, drainage and civil design, communicating with project teams on a day-to-day basis, and producing detailed designs utilising hydraulic modelling. € 9 million is the total cost saving associated to my projects in the period 2007 - 2011.
9+ years as a civil and structural engineer in Iraq. I have accomplished tasks as project manager, site director engineer, contractor, consultant and planner in a variety of infrastructure projects in Baghdad such as drainage systems, water supply nets, river and roads.
3 years as a trainee-engineering student in a contracting and entrepreneur company.
Peer reviewer at "Water Science and Technology" Journal http://wst.iwaponline.com/ of The International Water Association (IWA)
