Mohammad Al-Dabagh

Technically skilled and commercially grounded, I combine design rigour with practical project coordination experience. My academic studies at Northumbria University have spanned adaptive reuse, heritage-led regeneration, residential design and sustainable urbanism, underpinned by strong technical drawing, spatial planning and visual communication skills. Alongside this, I developed hands-on experience within an international trading environment, supporting procurement, logistics coordination, supplier communication, cost tracking and operational decision-making.

This dual background strengthened my ability to manage stakeholders, communicate clearly, work under pressure and understand the commercial impact of time, cost and project-level decisions. I am seeking a Part 1 Architectural Assistant role where I can contribute design thinking, technical discipline, commercial awareness and a serious commitment to architectural practice.
