Reference from the client, Willem Manneke, project manager:

As project manager, I worked with Cuneyt in a very pleasant and professional manner on a metro-related conversion project at RET.

The assignment was to replace/upgrade the tracks safety systems in all 125 RET metro vehicles. Cuneyt fulfilled the role of executive director with the responsibility of converting all metro vehicles, together with, the supplier and RET stakeholders.A complex assignment with, in addition to technical and logistical challenges, also a lot of attention to safety, testing and administrative handling to demonstrate the operational safety of the converted metros internally to RET and to external authorities. One of the most important success factors for the project was gaining support from all internal RET stakeholders. Cuneyt succeeded in this excellently by maintaining intensive contact with all stakeholders from the start of his work in a manner that was experienced as very pleasant and professional. 

In my role as project manager, I have experienced that Cuneyt is a very dedicated professional, with whom we can work together in a pleasant and committed manner and who can bind many internal colleagues/stakeholders, without any sort of friction, to himself and to the project.

In addition to coordinating the work, Cüneyt also carried out quality control on all of the vehicles. He is a hard worker, has excellent communication skills and has an eye for detail. In addition, he is good at addressing people and is very good at reporting on the work carried out. I highly recommend hiring Cüneyt and hope to work with him again in the future.

Reference from the client, Jesús Flores Minuesa, team leader:

A ridiculous amount of energy, positivity and perseverance, that’s the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Cüneyt. 

I met Cüneyt through a headhunter agency. I was looking for a Manager / Overhead Line Supervisor. From the first moment I saw the drive with which he took up the work and made it his own. 

Cüneyt quickly learned the tricks of our trade jargon. His knowledge of overhead lines and track constructions made it easy for me to deploy him on various projects with different specialist knowledge areas. 

Challenge Cüneyt with a complicated job. His creativity and sense of duty make him get the job done. 

Every employer/colleague can consider themselves lucky to have Cüneyt in the team.
