Contracting for oil & gas
Interview with Maher Muqattash,
Managing Partner, Aims General Contracting Company
Although only recently established in Abu Dhabi,
Aims General Contracting Company, under the
leadership of Managing Partner, Maher Muqattash
looks set to be a rising star of the Abu Dhabi
scene. From its headquarters in Ras Al Khaimah,
the company has branched out into UAE’s leading
Emirate in order to work not only on civil works,
but also, interestingly enough, on oil and gas related
projects as well.
This is where the experience of Maher Muqattash
comes into play. As Projects Director and Head of
Civil & Architectural Department of the well-reputed
Control Contracting & Trading Co. (CCTC), Maher
brings a wealth of experience to the table. Having
managed projects that involved complete responsibility
for the development of the living quarters and
switchgear facilities on multiple oil rigs, Maher knows
what it takes to develop a successful concern in the
sector. Maher has worked with household names such
as ELF, McDermott, Anadarko, Shell and, the world’s
largest company, ExxonMobil. Given this knowledge of
the market, he is positioning Aims to be in contention
for the 20 Billion Dirhams worth of oil and gas projects
recently announced.
