Bio
Dr. Osama M. Shawa
Waseem Al-Shawa has been working in my office as a reliable and dependable Director of Engineering for the past 30 years, during which I have known him, and I have nothing but positive to say about him. He has been responsible for leading my firm's professional engineers, ENTECHS, supervising, directing and following up on contractors, and designing civil and construction projects contracted by my firm. He is energetic, knowledgeable, dependable, requires very little direction, and can be relied upon to follow through on duties in design, construction management and supervision. He is aware of customer needs, and impressively maintains a fast production environment for his colleagues and clients in the office and in the field. I am sure he will be an excellent addition, and will contribute to the success of any project management entity, or design office, as he has done for us here at ENTECHS.

I had the great pleasure of working and learning under Mr. Waseem’s direct management for almost two years. Mr. Waseem has exhibited model leadership and stakeholder management throughout the project. He managed to create a friendly, supportive and cooperative work environment where he also kept open communication between himself and the rest of the team. Mr. Waseem, with his deep technical knowledge, has become the team’s main point of reference for the various disciplines. His exhibited technical and managerial expertise, knowledge and eagerness to learn has inspired me personally to continue my education in the field.
