To whom it may concern. As a Project Manager at Fluor Igoda Projects for a number of years I had direct dealings with Althaaf Yosuf as a Project Planner. He was always diligent in his work and produced meaningful and accurate plans which could be depended on for the duration of the Project. I can highly recommend Althaaf as a valuable team member of any project. Regards, Carl Schonborn PrEng
