Professional Capital and Major infrastructure projects delivery and people leader, with more than 26 years of experience in investigation, designing, consenting, land acquisition and construction, Originally from Iraq - Baghdad, I migrated to New Zealand in 2008 and joined IPENZ (Currently Engineering NZ) and SIGIE as a member, then started my volunteering journey with SIGIE and supporting international Engineers in New Zealand a year after (from 2009) till now, for which I became one of the first two Lifetime members with the group. During my service with SIGIE committee, I was trusted with various roles; Chair (3.5 Terms), Vice Chair (1 Term), Secretary (2 Terms), Treasurer (1 Term) and committee member (7.5 Terms). I enjoyed, and still enjoying, every single moment of this experience, meeting fellow migrant engineers and seeing them growing and integrating with the Engineering industry in New Zealand.   Currently, I am the Senior Programme Manager - Transport (Large Scale Projects) in the Infrastructure and Civil Construction Team with Kāinga Ora - Homes and Communities.
