Practical Experience. Engineering Expertise. Developing Capability.
Global Empowering Solutions (GES) helps engineering organisations and professionals build capability, improve performance and support sustainable growth.
GES is led by Moein Varaei, a Chartered Professional Engineer with more than 37 years of experience in engineering, consulting, project management and senior leadership.
Throughout his career, Moein has worked across engineering design, project delivery, consulting, business development, client relationships, team leadership and organisational management. He has held senior roles with major international engineering and consulting organisations, including AECOM, Arcadis, Ramboll and Meinhardt, as well as senior project and management roles in the UK, Middle East and Australia.
Experience Beyond Project Delivery
Moein's experience extends beyond managing individual projects. He has been directly involved in building teams, developing organisations and establishing the structures and systems needed to support growth.
At Meinhardt, he helped support the growth of the organisation from approximately 60 to 160 staff. During this period, he was involved in developing and improving organisational foundations including job descriptions, KPIs, policies, procedures, systems and processes.
He has also held senior roles involving business development, operational management, resource planning, financial performance, client relationships and the development of engineering teams and offices.
First-Hand Experience of Organisational Change
Moein has experienced first-hand the challenges associated with mergers, acquisitions and organisational change within engineering and consulting businesses.
Having worked through several organisational transitions, he understands that successful integration involves much more than bringing businesses together. People, roles, responsibilities, systems, processes, performance expectations and organisational culture all need to evolve.
This experience informs GES's practical approach to supporting organisations as they grow, change or develop new capabilities.
Developing Engineering Professionals
After more than three decades in engineering and consulting, Moein is now focused on sharing his experience to help other engineering professionals develop their skills and capabilities.
His work includes training, mentoring, coaching and capability development in areas such as:
- Consulting and professional skills
- Leadership and team management
- Project and delivery capability
- Client relationships and communication
- Business development and winning new work
- Career and professional development
- Project management and leadership
GES also develops and delivers tailored training programs designed around the specific needs, practices and objectives of each organisation.
Our Approach
GES believes that sustainable organisational performance depends on both capable people and an organisation that enables them to perform.
Technical expertise is essential, but engineering professionals also need the leadership, consulting, communication, commercial and project capabilities required as their responsibilities grow.
At the organisational level, effective performance requires clear roles, appropriate KPIs, effective systems and processes, capable leaders and an environment in which people can perform at their best.
GES combines practical engineering and leadership experience with advisory, capability-development, training, mentoring and coaching services to help organisations and professionals address these needs.
