Faris Alharbi

About Me I’m Faris Alharbi, a Mechanical Engineering graduate from Prince Mohammed Bin Fahad University with a passion for operations, innovation, and hands-on engineering. I specialize in optimizing processes, managing technical workflows, and driving collaborative solutions across teams. With experience in companies like Naqel Express, SANAD (Saudi Aramco Nabors Drilling), and Allianz Marine Services, I’ve led initiatives that enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and align operations with business strategy. I’m also PMP certified, with a strong foundation in data analysis, fluid mechanics, mechanical design, and project management. ________________________________________ Graduation Project One of the highlights of my academic journey was leading the design and manufacturing of a Subsonic Open-Return Wind Tunnel during my senior year. This project allowed my team and me to: • Design critical wind tunnel components using CAD software • Perform advanced theoretical calculations to guide design decisions • Build and test the system under real conditions to study aerodynamic behaviors • Conduct a full economic analysis — resulting in a projected 75.5% rate of return The wind tunnel is now a valuable educational tool, helping future engineers understand the relationship between flow dynamics and design — an experience that sharpened both my technical and leadership abilities. ________________________________________ I’m a detail-oriented, solution-driven professional who thrives in dynamic environments and enjoys transforming complex challenges into clear, actionable outcomes. Let’s build something impactful together.
