Direct all engineering operations, production system optimisation, and critical asset infrastructure across complex industrial facilities, leading multidisciplinary engineering teams to align technical delivery with corporate business objectives.

• Asset Performance Optimisation: Implemented advanced Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and reliability
engineering frameworks, reducing unplanned downtime and maximising lifecycle performance across
major assets.
• Regulatory Compliance & Governance: Established and governed engineering documentation and operational standards, achieving 100% compliance with ISO, NFPA, OSHA, and ASME statutory mandates and maintaining continuous audit readiness.
• Workforce Transformation & Mentorship: Designed and implemented technical training and
competency frameworks, strengthening engineering capability, knowledge transfer, and internal succession planning.

Led operations, asset management, and maintenance functions for large-scale industrial manufacturing infrastructure, utility systems, and critical plant machinery, managing a multidisciplinary team of engineers and technicians.

• Operational Throughput Boost: Spearheaded a Lean Six Sigma continuous improvement initiative that
increased production throughput by 25% and reduced process defects by 50% through rigorous statistical quality control.
• OEE Optimisation: Implemented KPI frameworks alongside preventive and predictive maintenance schedules, substantially boosting Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) across all plant and facility infrastructure.
• Data-Driven Asset Lifecycle Control: Built an integrated maintenance tracking architecture spanning work orders, equipment logs, and reliability reports, strengthening asset data integrity, audit readiness, and cost control.

Directed technical design reviews, project execution plans, and contract management for large-scale commercial and industrial MEP, firefighting, plumbing, and HVAC systems valued in excess of SAR 50 million.

• Engineering Supervision & Delivery: Supervised equipment installation, testing and commissioning, and client handover, ensuring full adherence to design metrics, project deadlines, and international engineering codes.
• Value Engineering & Cost Containment: Led technical reviews and value engineering analyses, integrating energy-efficient technologies that reduced operational costs for end-users while protecting profit margins.
• Contractual Risk Management: Governed multi-party legal terms, negotiated complex contracts, and managed liability, indemnity, and warranty clauses, executing seamless project closeouts and financial handovers.

Managed engineering, installation, commissioning, and maintenance of mission-critical fire protection and suppression networks across high-hazard industrial, infrastructure, and oil & gas facilities.

• Code-Compliant Project Execution: Ensured wet, dry chemical, and powder fire suppression systems complied fully with NFPA, FM Global, and local civil defence regulatory codes.
• Asset Availability Gains: Deployed preventive maintenance and asset management frameworks that improved system availability, boosted uptime, and lowered emergency repair expenditure.
• High-Profile Retrofit Leadership: Directed fire protection retrofit at the Holy Mosque, Makkah (18% operational efficiency improvement) and infrastructure upgrades in Jubail Industrial City, cutting downtime by 22% via advanced maintenance planning.

Supervised plant facility operations, mechanical asset maintenance, and statutory health and safety inspections across multi-site industrial production operations.

• Resource Planning: Developed preventive maintenance schedules, spare-parts inventory plans, and vendor coordination protocols that eliminated manufacturing line stoppages.
• Environmental & Safety Compliance: Maintained full adherence to environmental regulations and occupational safety protocols across all assigned production lines.
