Nabil graduated from Cairo University in Egypt in 1978 with a B.S. In Civil Engineering. He then moved to the U.S. and began attending Kansas State University. In 1985 he completed his M.S. in Civil and Structural Engineering. In 1988 he completed his Ph.D. in both Civil and Structural Engineering. In the several years after he graduated, he designed several residential and commercial buildings.

Nabil moved to Klamath Falls, Oregon and began teaching at the Oregon Institute of Technology as an associate professor of Civil and Structural Engineering. He taught 6 different courses and continued to teach until 2004. In 1998 Nabil opened his own engineering firm, PSE Consulting Engineers, Inc. He oversaw, reviewed, and supervised the structural design of several engineers and designers. In the years that PSE has been open, Nabil has designed and reviewed at least 450 structures annually.

Nabil specializes in projects with shipping containers and is one of few in the world that deals with projects involving these containers. Aside from container structures, he also specializes in green buildings and, because of this passion, PSE Consulting Engineers, Inc. is one of the leading engineering firms specializing in green buildings. He is licensed in 47 states and has provided the engineering for structures all over the U.S and in several different countries.
