Default I'm looking for a Commercial Manager/Head of QS Position in the UAE

After 3 years with Mouchel my time has come to an end, a major project did not come to fruition and hence I find myself looking for new opportunities.

Should anyone have/know of a suitable role I would be grateful to hear from you.

I have attached my CV.

Kind regards


Matthew Lewis

Have a look at EC Harris, they had some jobs going.

Although (and don't take this the wrong way), I'd redo your CV if I was you. Much too long and not punchy enough. Remember the CV is merely to get an interview, not the job. You can provide the detail at interview and demonstrate the breadth of experience.

yup, I'd agree with your there - there's scope to concentrate the information. 2 A4 pages should be the goal.

Hi Matthew,

I work in construction recruitment, I have passed your resume onto one of my colleagues (I do FM, he looks after commercial...). He may not have anything immediate, but he will be in touch if/when something comes up.

From my side the CV is fine, its important to have project info on a Commercial/QS/PM/PD CV and you have that covered off.

Will let you know if anything comes up

You recruit for FM? What sort of roles?

May require your services in the future

Pretty much from Supervisor up to GM level. This is typically across MEP Subcontractors, Developers, Consultancies, Service Providers. At present most the roles out there are requiring hands on MEP guys, however I am sure the consultant/developer side will pick up soonish

PM me if you want any further info or assistance

Thanks for that feedback, that was the feedbackI have received from all consultants to date, I think my field requires a slightly different CV to other roles.
