A DAY IN THE LIFE OF IBRAHIM AL SUWAIDI
I DO: I joined Dolphin Energy more than 10 years ago as an engineer. During my early days, I was seconded to Total for a year, where I worked across several departments - the process department in Paris, the operation support department at Pau, as well as the exploration and production department at Den Helder. This experience allowed me to develop a unique skill set and widen my knowledge and exposure to gas production and distribution. When I returned to Dolphin Energy, I worked with the Projects team, focusing on the construction of the Taweelah Receiving Facilities. Soon after construction completion, I was awarded with a one year scholarship program by Total to pursue a Masters degree in Marketing Management. After graduating, I came back from France and was promoted to Deputy Manager of the Technical Services Department, providing support and services to other peer departments. Over the years, I have moved between Technical Services and Projects, which has allowed me to attain a wide range Ibrahim’s children during Eid of skills.

Despite our clear religious differences, they were respectful, kind and curious about Islam. I will never forget how hospitable and warm they were to me. On a personal level, I’m a calm and easy going person. It takes a lot to anger me. In my free time, I like to go fishing or play football.
