Ali Hajj Ali

Mid-Career Civil Engineer with Experience in Site Supervision & Liaising.

Dear Sir/Madam,

First, I began work when I was still studying at Abu Dhabi University. I worked as Student recruiter and admission assistant at the same university. Afterwards, I started my early career life working as a Piling Site Engineer and had my own team, which was composed of 8-12 members. In addition to piling works, I was responsible of recording daily/monthly reports and following up with material delivery to the project.
Later, I joined an Engineering Consulting Company where I stayed approximately 3 years gaining great experience in construction. Although I was responsible for site and material inspections, nevertheless I learned the correct manners of writing correspondence letters to owner and contractors.
Finally, I joined a contracting company and worked as Authority Engineer. I was responsible for gaining approvals from Local Authorities. In addition, I used to attend meetings with owners, consultants and sub-contractors to find solutions for complex problems and discussing progress of work with the company management. With this letter, I have attached my most current CV, which will give you a more comprehensive idea of my key competencies.
I appreciate you taking the time to review my application and very much hope that you will invite me to an interview for a job.

Yours Faithfully,

Ali H. Hajj Ali
