lol-isnt it always that way in the construction industry.

I am also in the construction industry (oil and gas) and I work in JAFZA. I work in Procurement. I must have the least stressful job in the whole of the UAE if u take all that into account! At least it only takes me 20 mins to get to work, and I work at one location and dont need to travel.

Great initiative Phil...

I come from an Aeronautical Engineering background. Planes have always been my first love. wanted to be pilot first, but had a bad time convincing my folks that flying is safer than walking on the streets :)....since that didnt work out well, decided to do the next thing closer to aircraft... engineering it! ;)

Currently, I am working for FedEx Express Intl Inc. in the planning and engineering department as a Linehaul Engineer. I manage and support the all Flight ops for FedEx MEIA. I shuttle between two offices, one our HQ in the world trade centre and the other, our ops hub next to terminal 2, mostly in terminal 2 wher the action is :)

Aside from posting on this board, shining your Beema and scouring the internet for the next upgrade to your car, what exactly do you guys do during the day - what is your job?

I'll start. I work for a US project management company. Specifically, i am a Senior Planning Engineer, meaning i get involved with the forecasting, and then subsequent progress-monitoring, of the programme, resource and costs associated with major engineering and construction projects. I am currently working on the construction of the new Global Village facility, and my office are based there (on the Emirates Road near Arabian Ranches).

And you?
