Expat experience
I was Contracts manager with one of the contractors in doha. I developed and run the estimating department there, introduced CCS ( candy) package there. I also won a big infra project for them. Also go involved in a prestigious project of Kataara, with JV with Synohydro - we were second lowest in the bid.
Typical Gulf state, trying to modernize with a slow pace. Lots of preparation going on for 2022 FIFA cup. Mosques are beautiful.
Scarcity of schools, due to rapid construction, traffic jams are common.
I was Estimating Manager in one of the leading Contracting Companies here. Major projects were Damac towers and Highways pricing in Kuwait
Its a very dynamic city, every year you will find changes in landscape. One of the best countries to reside in whole Gulf. The locals are very courteous and welcoming. Rules are generally equal for all, and the best thing is the technology and its inter connectivity.
There is no guarantee of staying back, the moment you loose your job. Schools and education is effected tremendously, while you live and work in any gulf state.
I was Estimating Manager in one of the leading Contracting Companies here. I implemented full estimating procedures and won several projects for the company, some of them are St. Augustine secondary school, Scotia Bank Renovation etc
Though, without doubt its a beautiful scenic place, i found its people second to none, loving, helpful and courteous. Such a mix society of cultures and religion, but they live very harmoniously there.
There is nothing so far that I dont like about Trinidad.
I have worked on several projects in Kuwait, some are listed below 1. Kabad Road 2. Gulf University Hospital 3. Mowasat Hospital 4. Casbalanca - Jadida Highway - Morocco 5. Rabbaih - Naqqash interchange - Lebanon 6. Khalifa bin salman port - bahrain 7. Fahaheel Culvert Kuwait
