I am writing to express my interest in the WASH Manager. With over 19 years of experience in the design, management, and evaluation of emergency and development projects, I am confident in my ability to contribute effectively to your team. Currently, I am serving as a WASH Coordinator with Secours Islamique France (SIF) in Islamabad, Pakistan, and hold a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering Technology.
My extensive background encompasses a broad range of WASH interventions, including the design and execution of handpumps, mechanical and solar-powered water supplies, gravity-fed and piped network systems, water purification plants (UFP, RO), rainwater harvesting, groundwater recharge, and various types of latrines. I am also proficient in water quality monitoring and decentralized wastewater treatment systems.
In addition to my WASH expertise, I have substantial experience in Shelter & Settlement and infrastructure design, including buildings, link roads, pathways, culverts, small bridges, and irrigation channels. My work extends to hygiene promotion, where I have developed health and hygiene sessions, IEC materials, and conducted KAP surveys.
Throughout my career, I have collaborated with numerous international NGOs such as WaterAid, DWHH, IMC, IRC, CRS, Concern, ACTED, and IRP on Urban and Rural WASH and multisectoral projects. I have managed emergency responses to earthquakes, floods, and conflict-affected areas, working closely with various donors.
I bring strong competencies in communication, leadership, and working within diverse cultural contexts. My ability to set high-quality standards, make critical decisions, and translate strategic directions into actionable plans has consistently supported successful project outcomes. I also maintain an effective network across organizational departments and am committed to applying my technical knowledge to achieve project goals.
I am excited about the opportunity to bring my experience and skills to [Organization Name] and contribute to your impactful projects. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of discussing how I can contribute to your team.
Best regards,
Arif Nawaz
