Osama Daoud (Ph.D.)

Mr. Michael Fakhoury has worked from Oct 2010 to June 2013 as an electrical engineer in the technical coordination team for King Abdul Aziz International Airport in Jeddah. He was responsible for compiling and preparing responses related to electrical, special airport systems and ICT design and materials submittals received from the Contractor. He participated in workshops and meetings held between the design review team from the Construction Manager, the Client, Contractor, sub-contractors, designers and specialists. Mr. Fakhoury also managed responses to requests for information and site queries related to design issues and communicated with both designers and design review team to resolve any pending matters. Mr. M. Fakhoury has proven to be a reliable, efficient, organized and hard worker. He managed to complete his assignments in the most professional manner and on time. His spoken and written communication skills are excellent and he is a good team player. Mr. M. Fakhoury will be missed by his colleagues and I recommend him for any post related to electrical design and construction works.
