Mr. Gjelosh Vataj, Local Expert on Pumping Systems and Occupational Health and Safety.

I am a Doctor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Tirana with over 25 years of relevant experience in mechanical engineering, with a focus on water and pumping systems.

Extensive experience in the design and supervision of mechanical systems for water treatment plants, including the detailed design of the mechanical part and the expansion of the Water Treatment Plant in SHIPOL, Mitrovica, with a production capacity of 1200 l/s.

Served as CEO of the Regional Water Company “Prishtina”, managing large-scale projects in coordination with KfW for the rehabilitation of water networks and the construction of treatment plants.

Managed mechanical and electro-mechanical maintenance at the RWC Prishtina, ensuring the continuous operation of water production systems.

Involved in energy efficiency studies within the water sector, contributing to increasing efficiency in public water systems.

Licensed in hydro-sanitary, thermomechanical installations, fire-fighting systems and automation systems for industry and buildings.

Supervised and managed several large-scale projects, including the rehabilitation of water facilities in Kosovo and the expansion of the sewage network in Macedonia.

Strong experience in workplace safety, with certifications in Occupational Safety and Health from the Ministry of Economy, Employment, Industry and Strategic Investments in Kosovo.

Numerous publications in Energy Efficiency, Hydraulic Modeling and Water Services Systems, contributing key knowledge to the sector.

Signatory of the historic agreement for the first Balkans Joint Conference between SHUKALB and SHUKOS.

He has published scientific papers in international journals and conferences and was also a participant in scientific committees at national and international levels.

Professor Vataj speaks English, Italian and Croatian.
