Dear Hiring Manager:
With 20+ years’ experience in environmental program development and management with a focus on the Arabian
Gulf Corporation Council (GCC) and Horn of Africa regions, I am confident you will find me a leading candidate
to be a member of your successful team.
As a Regional Environmental Director and Oil Spill Response Coordinator , I have been responsible for the
development and management of multimillion-dollar programs spanning six countries and three major bodies of
water. My deep and broad expertise has resulted in a consistent record of success in this critical oil-producing
region. Key highlights of my career include…
• Earning 30+ prestigious awards from the US government and host nations for delivering large-scale and
complex environmental programs providing measurable improvements to environmental management,
hazardous waste reduction, and spill prevention, response, and remediation.
• Masterful knowledge of US/international regulations and standards, including BASEL Convention,
MARPOL, US Department of Defense (DoD) Final Governing Standards (FGS), the Overseas
Environmental Baseline Guidance Document (OEBGD), Executive Orders, and ISO 14001:2004.
• Developing audit programs and conducting compliance audits of the various environmental media
including air, water, spill management, hazardous and solid waste, wastewater, asbestos,
aboveground/underground fuel tanks, pest control, to maintain compliance with applicable regulations.
Audit report is briefed to leadership. Plan of Action and Milestone (POAM) is developed promptly to
mitigation of deficiencies in a timely manner.
• Built highly successful and robust waste minimization programs that diverted over 40% of waste,
including used oil, paper, cardboard, plastic, and metals and reduced waste disposal cost by over $1M
annually.
• Leading all aspects of program development, resourcing, funding justifications, risk assessment and
mitigation, training and education, feasibility studies, impact assessments, compliance audits, and resource
allocation to fulfill overall objectives and long- & short-term goals for environmental stewardship.
• Doctorate in Business Administration; dissertation: “Oil Spills Management in the Regional Organization
for the Protection of Marine Environment (ROPME) Sea Area” in cooperation with the Marine Emergency
Mutual Aid Centre (MEMAC).
My ability to cultivate relationships with cross-cultural stakeholders and bridge communication gaps allows me to
present compelling presentations and effectively influence environmental planning and strategy development to
create a cohesive approach. As a team leader, I excel at mentoring and directing engineers, scientists, and
environmental coordinators located across a wide geographic area, ensuring alignment with performance standards
and expectations. Additionally, I am committed to driving continuous improvements through implementation of
innovative methodologies, technologies, and practices to address emergent issues.
Should you need further information, I am available by phone or email; in the meanwhile, I look forward to your
response.
Sincerely,
Awni Almasri
