Tim Martin
In my capacity as Division Manager for the Fugro Pavement Group in Abu Dhabi, I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Eltahan. As my senior project manager, I relied heavily on his capabilities to deliver and flexibility to adapt quickly to new responsibilities as they arose. During that time, he has executed all of his responsibilities professionally and with a high quality of service. His responsibilities included business development, client relations, tenders and contracts, technical engineering and quality reviews, as well as mentoring and managing staff. Ahmed is highly motivated, adapts quickly to new challenges, and has an excellent relationship with clients. He continuously demonstrated integrity as well as an eagerness for self development. His abilities to speak and write Arabic have also been a great value to contracts and discussions with Arabic speaking clients. Dr. Eltahan will unquestionably be an asset for any organization he might join.
