Compass Project Consulting is over the moon to have been awarded the Sub-Consultancy of the Year accolade and Project Manager of the Year accolade, for Associate Hamed Parnian, at the Construction Week Awards 2020!  

The glittering event, held at the Marriot Marquis Dubai on the 9^th of December, was an incredible (and rare chance by 2020 standards!) to get together with the best of the construction industry, and recognise all the achievements, by many great people, over the past 12-months.

Our very own Associate, Hamed Parnian, scooped the big prize, securing the Project Manager of the Year nod against a shortlist of 7 exceptionally strong candidates. 

Judges commended Parnian for his “his hands-on approach to project management” and “his huge impact on all levels of stakeholders on his projects”.

Commenting on the achievement, Parnian told Construction Week: “It’s definitely been a year to remember.  It’s been tough for a lot of business, and yet such times have allowed firms to be more creative.  2020 has made everyone work closer together.  We’ve become more compassionate within our teams, with our clients, and the peers that we work with”.

“A good project manager ought to know everything that happens within a project, within the processes, and within the life-cycle that we manage.  The best way to do that is to have a hands-on approach”.

“Sometimes on a project, you’re running solo, but sometimes you have 17-18 consultants working with you, and while we could point to something specific and say that ‘it’s not my job’, we realise that ultimately the overall project is our responsibility.  In order to be a good leader and give value to the clients, the best approach is to be hands-on”.

Awesome work Hamed!  You really do LIVE the Compass values of Leadership – Integrity – Vigilance – Evolution!
