Tahir (TJ) Khawaja is a UK-based industrial consultant, engineer and project management professional with over 35 years of experience spanning glass manufacturing, solar energy, international plant management, supplier development and international trading.

Born in the UK, educated in Pakistan, the USA and the UK, and trained in Germany, TJ brings a genuinely global perspective to every engagement — with the cultural fluency, technical depth and commercial judgment that only comes from having actually built things in challenging environments with real constraints.

An ISO 9001 IRCA and ISO 50001 Lead Auditor, Internal Quality Auditor and patent holder, TJ combines formal certification rigour with the practical knowledge of someone who has personally commissioned a 250-ton float glass furnace, pioneered solar PV grid systems in Pakistan and turned around failing industrial operations in the UAE.
