Since working at NOVA Mission Critical Contracting LLC I have further expanded my construction knowledge, building upon the experience and skills I developed from my past employment in the UAE, UK and Canada to further expand my international perspective and understanding of the industry. In my time at these various companies, I have worked on numerous projects, liaising with subcontractors, Project managers, and other members of the design team in order to assist in the delivery of projects on time and to budget. I feel I have particularly gained valuable experience in working to extremely tight construction deadlines, particularly where minimal information has been provided by the client. Additionally, I have developed a practical knowledge of FIDIC and its uses within the construction industry in the UAE. I am currently working towards becoming a member of the RICS (MRICS), to reinforce my experience.
