One of the shortlisted candidates in each of the below categories will be crowned the Winner while another will win the Highly Commended trophy at the 2021 MEP Awards, which will be held on Tuesday, 28 September 2021, at the JW Marriott Marquis Hotel in Dubai.
THE JUDGING PROCESS
MEP Middle East received an overwhelming number of responses, with more than 125 submissions from more than 46 companies across 18 categories – including entries from industry-leading MEP contractors, consultants, and suppliers.
The nominations were placed through an in-depth editorial review, with a careful and detailed analysis of each entry, which resulted in the shortlists below.
The shortlists will now be sent to our panel of highly qualified, well-recognised, and respected judges, including Prof Dr Sabih Gatea Khisaf, Infrastructure Lead MENA at Hyperloop Transportation Technologies; Paul Desmond, the Head of Building Services Supervision at WSP in the Middle East; AbdulRahman Al Beshri, Risk Management & Business Continuity Manager at wasl Group; Rejil Kumar, General Manager at WML and Team Leader at the Dubai Quality Awards; and Mandarr Agshikar, Director Middle East at AMCA International and Executive Committee Member of Continual Improvement SubGroup at the Dubai Quality Group.
The judges will first independently review all the shortlisted entries and award scores to each of the submissions individually, based on the set criteria and weightage for each category.
The highest scoring entries will then be evaluated by a panel of judges who decide the winners and highly-commended nominees in each category.
The judges for the 2021 MEP Middle East Awards have incredible knowledge and experience in the Middle East region, and have also been recognised as industry-leading assessors and auditors, with plenty of prior expertise in reviewing submissions and nominations at multiple awards.
Without further ado, here are the shortlisted firms for each of the 18 Categories:
