Alright, Ahmed, thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Looking back, do you think you chose the right career path? Do you wish you had started sooner or later?

I have been working as a civil engineer for the past 15 years, and I think the timing was just right for me. My experience in designing sustainable infrastructure has been incredibly fulfilling. It has allowed me to contribute to projects that not only meet immediate needs but also address long-term environmental challenges. Starting when I did gave me the opportunity to grow alongside advancements in green technologies.

Ahmed, before we dive into more of these questions, could you share more about your background and what you do?

My journey into civil engineering began with a fascination for designing and building structures that last. After completing my education, I joined a leading construction firm, where I worked on various projects ranging from residential buildings to large-scale infrastructure. Over time, I specialized in sustainable designs, ensuring that my projects minimize their environmental impact while maximizing efficiency.

What’s worked well for you in terms of advancing your career?

Networking and staying updated with the latest technologies have been critical to my growth. Attending industry conferences and participating in collaborative projects have allowed me to stay ahead of the curve and bring innovative solutions to my work.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

During a particularly challenging project, we faced unexpected delays due to extreme weather conditions. By working closely with my team and adapting our strategies, we not only completed the project on time but also implemented measures to prevent similar issues in the future. This experience taught me the value of flexibility and strong team dynamics.
