1. Introductory Note:

“Climbing to the top demands strength, whether it is to the top of Mount Everest or to

the top of your career”

‘Career’ as it can be described as an occupation undertaken for a significant period of a person's life and with opportunities for progress. Career can also pertain to an occupation or a profession that usually involves special training or formal education, and is considered to be a person’s lifework. Deciding to move your career forward or to choose a new career, usually that is the hardest part, making the decision to do just that to take action. Then comes the second part, deciding on how you’re going to set goals and maximize your career potential also termed as career development plan.

Career Development Plan is the main key to set realistic expectations of career growth by suggesting time frames for certain milestones to happen (like acquisition of higher knowledge through further training & courses resulting in promotion of skills) and identifying areas that need to develop before becoming eligible for their next career milestone.

These are some terms and facts that really impact one‘s job life or work life from traditional way to a competitive way of progress where every time you have to face challenges that enhance your abilities and help to achieve goals for better career growth. I don’ want to skip the same methodology directed by Project Director Mr. Mubashir Niaz and Project Manager Mr. Anjum Javed that you have not to bound yourself to the work assigned to you but you must prepare yourself for upcoming challenges by setting your short term and long term objectives/goals that actually are related to,

• Education and training

• Job assignments

• Developmental activities

So, for better career development these things should go hand in hand with each other.

This report is also a reflection of their motivation and guidance.

I am very grateful to all my colleagues and seniors for providing such an excellent environment for better career growth/development and also hope the same in the future.

After short duration I realized that to work with international company has more exposure to career development. So, I applied for job in Saudi Arabia and got an offer to work as a Structural Engineer in Riyadh.

I joined Bulgu Insaat Ve Ticaret Ltd, Saudi Arabia (2010 -2011) and mobilized for the

project of Harisulwatani (Special Security Brigade) which was consisted of 151

buildings. The responsibilities assigned were,

� To check Design calculations and prepare design reports using structural

Development that is fifty five km southwest of the main Abu-Dhabi Island and adjacent

to the development known as Abu-Dhabi Industrial City V (ICAD V), which consist of

gravity lines and also pressure lines for collection of sewage. There is also one main

Pumping Station designed to collect the discharge and pumped towards external

network by pressure.

2. Executive Summary 2

ii 299012/MWE //001/000 04 Sep 2012 Professional Progress Report


As an overview Consultant appointed by ADSSC our main work at site from kick off

meeting and end till the handing over of the project, all of this is a sequence of

learning new things practically and technically.

I was trained in reference with the ADSSC’ Specifications at site by RE Mr.Shuja A

Zaidi and ARE Mr.Iftikhar Ali. As I had never worked for Pumping Station and pressure

line in past, so they helped me on each and every stage of project to handle the

situation and proceeding of work in smooth way in the lights of specification and

standards.

After 4 months I was mobilized to project of Al-Watani Residential Development

pahse-1A and phase-2 in Abu Dhabi Main Island which consists of gravity network

only.

To summarize my experience in seven (7) months with MML is very good as I have

learned many things that can’t be counted but in big scope I experienced that how to

learn and implement technical experience in every field. I gained a good

communication approach between different parties and mostly between the site office

and home office. I have learned different ways for establishing a better connection with

concerned parties by maintaining documentation require during the stage of

construction of a project which is very helpful for me and will surely help in future.

The use of GIS As. Built Drawing and Microsoft Database System in maintaining

record of all the data related to sewer network is one of the latest technologies that I

learned and furthermore PIMS Project Information Management System is a system

first implemented by Mott MacDonald in the region of United Kingdom and is now

extended to MESA. The most advantage of this system is one can have access to all

information about his data throughout the World.

These are some fractions of that I have learned in Mott MacDonald up till now but

journey has not ended, it is now to begin. There are still more to go that actually

depends upon the self esteem and honesty with profession.

3. Projects: 3.1. Background:

As I was recruited for the Water and Environmental Division in MML and mainly

wastewater works of Abudhabi area where the client is Abu Dhabi Sewerage Services

Company (ADSSC) and under the contract of O-1054 where the responsibilities of

Mott MacDonald is limited to over-seeing the sewerage works for the development.

Contract O-1054 contains almost 20 different projects and I am working on two

projects as a Site Staff amongst them.

Before taking responsibilities of site work and starting work in company everyone has

to go through and passed some courses that are necessary to do work consciously

and safely as Mott MacDonald motto is “COMMITTED TO SAFETY”. I have completed

all of courses and the major are.

1. Welcome to Mott MacDonald (GPEL0139-826)

2. Business Ethics: Getting It Right - Policy Compliance (IMS0071-826A)

3. PiMS Training - Introduction and Overview of PiMS Live link (GPEL0237)

4. Your Performance and Development Review [PDR] (GPEL0149-826)

5. Health and Safety Risk Assessment Training (IMS0051-826)

6. Site Safety Awareness [REST OF WORLD] (IMS0001)

7. The Safe Way to Work (IMS0008-826)

Mott MacDonald has divided the waste water works scope for contract O-1054 in to

four (4) stages.

Stage 1: Review of Conceptual Design

Stage 2: Detailed Design and Tendering Document

Stage 3: Tender Evaluation

Stage 4: Construction Supervision & Handing over the developments

The main concern for me in these stages is construction stage because I am working

as a site staff. The first three stages are mainly handled by home office support

personnel but I often involve in this stage as I am working in developing hydraulic

statement on spread sheet and applying x-checks with Developer consultant’s

statement that mostly include population, sewage load, design flow, gradient, diameter

of pipe used and ratio of Qp/Qf and Vf final velocity by keeping in view the ADSSC

Design Guidelines. I developed following hydraulic statement with support of home

office personnel.
