RECOMMENDATIONS :-

"Enabling Works Team:
Rizwan has joined the Riyadh Metro Project in November 2013 as part of the Enabling Works Team.

The Enabling Works Team overlooked several scopes of works ranging from Mobilization, Utilities Diversion, Road Works and At Grade Works to which Rizwan was tasked to overlook.

Rizwan was mainly tasked with the Utilities Diversion works and has shown the following key strengths:

In depth knowledge of the Contract Volumes related to Utilities Diversion works for both Wet and Dry.
Accurate quantification of the works.
Identification of works outside of Contract (Unforeseen Utilities).
Strong technical background.
Great team player.
Copes well under pressure.

Unforeseen Utilities Claim Team:
A team was tasked to identify, quantify and estimate utilities deemed as Unforeseen (Encountered on site, however not shown on the Contract drawings).
Rizwan has identified and quantified over US $100M worth of utilities (wet and dry) that are considered as Unforeseen.
He is a proactive team player, who worked closely with the site teams to ensure all unforeseen utilities are accounted for in the Claim."

"Rizwan is a motivated and hardworking colleague whom consistently demonstrated solid work and focus. We worked on Direct cost claims for almost two years in a mega project which required team players such as himself and commitment to meet deadlines.
I strongly recommend Rizwan as I’m confident he will be an invaluable addition to any team"

I wish him prosperity in his career"
