CAREER PROFILE
Mahdi Hindeyeh is a US citizen with a Civil Engineering degree and over 32 years’ experience in managing
large Size Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Projects in the US, the Middle East and Asia. His
experience covers water supply and wastewater infrastructure projects starting from feasibility studies,
master planning, conceptual & detailed design development, preparation of tender documents,
procurement strategy and procurement planning, program management, construction supervision,
testing & commissioning, facility handover, operation and maintenance and asset management.
- Water Supply Infrastructure Projects: ground water (wellfield) drilling and water purification /
treatment plants using Osmosis (RO); surface water purification using conventional water
treatment plants (WTPs); and sea water Reverse Osmosis (RO) Desalination Plants. Projects also
include associated components such as water storage tanks (product water), water reservoirs,
pumping stations, conveyance, and water distribution network
- Wastewater / Sanitation Infrastructure Projects: wastewater collection systems, lift stations,
wastewater treatment / recycling plants (WWTPs); treated sewage effluent (TSE) storage tanks,
pump stations and TSE network for reuse (i.e. landscape irrigation, industrial, farmers)
Mr. Hindeyeh also has solid experience water resources management covering g water sector reform,
water policy & strategy and regulations, water governance, institutional development and capacity
building for broad range of programs related to surface and ground water related issues such as
Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), Water Supply / Demand management, River Basin
Management, Trans-boundary water management, ground water / aquifer management, ground, water
use efficiency (agriculture, industry, commercial), effluent reuse and sludge management, water quality
and environmental management; water sector climate change adaptation and infrastructure resilience;
Project Related Experience
Engineering & Design Development of Water Supply & Wastewater Infrastructure: More than 27 years of
extensive experience in master planning, feasibility studies, preliminary & detailed design of water and
wastewater systems. Led A&E infrastructure multidiscipline design teams in delivering design projects in the
US and the Middle East. Involved in the entire “Design Development” process lifecycle including:
Engineering / Technical Studies: carryout necessary studies and perform critical evaluation of the
results of the pre-feasibility and or feasibility studies and prepare inception reports; Environmental
and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA); economic and financial studies including project cost benefit
analysis; Green Climate Fund (GCF) concept notes and application; Climate Change Adaptation plans;
energy efficiency studies as well as renewable energy generation (solar, biogas: waste-to-energy, and
hydropower); environmental management plans; flood control and hydrology sties of the sites;
water / wastewater treatment technology assessment;
Field Investigation, site surveys: carryout situational assessment; topographic surveys and prepare
base GIS maps; water and wastewater quality test; geotechnical foundation and soil investigations.
Design Development: Plan, monitor and oversee the activities of multidisciplinary A&E design teams
involved in tasks such as developing water and wastewater demand forecast, design criteria/ basis for
design /performance specifications; develop concept, schematic and detailed design including
calculations, hydraulic modeling and system analysis, pipe profiles & layout, pipe sizing and material
selection; piping & instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), general arrangement diagrams; SCADA
systems; consideration for design sustainability; architectural and structural design as well as the
design of civil structures, roads, landscaping, fencing, etc.; construction phasing, constructability
reviews and value engineering; Preparation of final Design Reports consisting of engineering
drawings, specifications, along with BOQ’s, cost estimation and statuary approvals; Involved in
contractual and administrative activities such as Design (monitoring, design change reporting &
resolution, coordination, and document management)
Prepare tender documents: technical documents for engineering design including cost estimation,
drawings, technical specifications, bill quantities (BoQ), program schedule, special requirement
