Above and beyond the call of duty…
Since taking up his position as director of engineering Jordan for the five Movenpick properties in 2009, Fayoumi has achieved outstanding results in both the technical services department and in positioning Movenpick as a leading hotel in Jordan in terms of Sustainability and Social Responsibility. Some of his greatest achievements were: Energy Saving and Renewable Energy Projects: Throughout his tenure in Jordan, Fayoumi has introduced and implemented several renewable and cleaner energy projects such as solar heating, condensate gas boilers, LED lighting etc. An example of such savings was the installation of two solar heating systems for two properties which were commissioned at the cost of 500,000 USD and resulted in a saving of 125,000 USD in the first year alone.A true entrepreneur, Fayoumi has always come up with initiatives that were out of the box and forward thinking. His passion and commitment to the industry, his team members, Movenpick and the community has allowed him to achieve his many successes. A twelve year veteran of the Movenpick family, Fayoumi is always looking for new challenges and ways of improvement. The term ´if it is not broken, don’t fix it´ does not exist in his vocabulary and he is always looking for ways to better improve both personally and professionally. Such instances where Fayoumi has shined were his determination to further develop himself. After going through the rigorous process of the Green Globe certification for all five Movenpick properties, Fayoumi decided to further enhance his expertise in the field of Sustainability. He successfully completed the Green Globe Auditor training programme which includes online courses dealing with all areas of the Green Globe certification standards such as: sustainability management, social and economic standards, cultural heritage and environmental standards and was recently certified as the first Green Globe Auditor at Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts. Fayoumi took this challenge out of his own accord and has used the knowledge gained in assiting other Movenpick properties with technical advise when preparing for their own Green Globe audit.
