Ghazanfar - Burnley tutor






Information About Ghazanfar:


Personal Description:

I have significant engineering management and team leadership experience put to excellent use in a variety of projects and initiatives within multi-national companies in Pakistan and a good two years teaching experience at university level as a Teaching Assistant and as a Lecturer in one of the FE Engineering colleges in the UK. I attained a distinction for my engineering degree and was awarded a Medal, and received a solid grounding in operational management in the course of my studies, which I have been able to use by assuming considerable operational responsibility in my last two positions. Although I have strong technical expertise, my strength is in being able to employ strong leadership to project manage the implementation of complex strategic and operational business solutions.

I have registered with The IET as MIET and as an Incorporated Engineer with Engineering Council UK. With that in mind, I now wish to develop my career further, in a new and suitably challenging position with a company that will be able to put my engineering management, teaching and leadership skills to good use.

I believe that my key qualities are my passion and personal drive to excel in all that I set my mind to, my excellent interpersonal skills and strong communicative ability combined with a talent for proactive and innovative problem solving. I regard myself as a dedicated professional who sets high expectations of himself and others.

I would very much welcome the opportunity to discuss how I can contribute to you and I look forward to hearing from you.
