Ilian Nikolov

Founder & Managing Director
Abu Dhabi, UAE

INSAIT was founded by Ilian Nikolov.

His professional background is in utility-scale solar PV delivery. From 2017 to 2026 he managed EPC projects for major European EPC contractors and project developers across the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe, taking plants from notice-to-proceed through commissioning and handover.

That work spanned engineering, procurement, construction, and HSE coordination; contract administration, variations, and claims; and day-to-day alignment with owners, investors, grid operators, and permitting authorities. An earlier career in general and operations management, across production, sales, and hospitality, underpins his focus on stakeholders and delivery discipline.
