About

Results-driven Senior Project Manager and Mechanical Engineer with 27+ years of cross-industry expertise spanning Petrochemical, Chemical, Steel, and Glass sectors. I specialize in delivering complex, high-value industrial projects from concept to commissioning — on time, within budget, and to the highest technical standards. Over the past 17+ years, I have led end-to-end project management across greenfield and brownfield investments of Saudi owners, managing suppliers & contractors from Saudi Arabia, India, South Korea, and China — working alongside globally recognized technology providers such as Thyssenkrupp AG, Vinollit GmbH, Tenova USA, FLSmidth, SMS and ABP, Germany and top-tier EPC contractors including Daelim, Hanwha, SAMI, and NFC. My work with international PMCs (Jacobs, Fluor, Worley) has sharpened my ability to manage complex multi-disciplinary interfaces at pace. I bring a rare combination of deep engineering knowledge and strategic project leadership — from eying on FEED scope to witnessing the first product out of a newly commissioned plant.
