History
The Pakistan Engineers Forum (herein referred to as PEF) was formed in 1997 to represent Pakistani engineers working in Qatar. The idea was to gather all Pakistani engineers on one platform.
The founders of the organization worked out several bylaws for its work and developed the PEF constitution in 2005, which was later revised in 2011. Under these bylaws, every year(term) a new executive committee has been elected who runs the affairs of the forum. Due to their efforts, there are now more than three hundred Pakistani engineers who are members of the forum. The forum represents the largest group of Pakistani professionals working in Qatar.
