Currently Working as a Senior GIS Specialist in the OXAGON NEOM Infrastructure Design Project, my responsibilities revolve around utilizing geospatial technology and analysis to support the planning, design, and implementation of infrastructure projects within the Neom development. Here are the key responsibilities I undertake in this role:

•Geospatial Analysis for Infrastructure Planning: I conduct geospatial analysis to identify suitable locations for infrastructure development within the Neom region. This involves analyzing topographic data, land use information, environmental constraints, and other relevant spatial datasets. I utilize GIS tools and techniques to assess the feasibility, impact, and sustainability of infrastructure projects, considering factors such as terrain, water resources, transportation networks, and natural hazards.
•Geospatial Data Acquisition and Integration: I oversee the acquisition and integration of geospatial data required for infrastructure design.
•Infrastructure Design Support: I provide GIS support to the infrastructure design team, collaborating with engineers, architects, and planners. I integrate GIS into the design workflow to aid in site selection, alignment optimization, and spatial layout of infrastructure elements.
•Spatial Modeling and Simulation: I develop and utilize spatial models and simulations to assess the performance and impact of proposed infrastructure designs. This includes conducting geospatial simulations for transportation networks, hydrological systems, utility networks, and other infrastructure components.
•Data Visualization and Communication: I create visually appealing and informative maps, charts, and 3D visualizations to communicate infrastructure designs and proposals to project stakeholders.
•Quality Assurance and Standards Compliance: I implement quality control procedures to ensure the accuracy, consistency, and adherence to standards of GIS data and deliverables.
•GIS and BIM Integration: I facilitate the integration of GIS and BIM technologies to enable seamless data exchange and collaboration between the two systems. This involves establishing data interoperability standards, developing workflows, and implementing processes for sharing and synchronizing geospatial and BIM data. I ensure that the spatial and attribute data from GIS is effectively integrated with the geometric and semantic information from BIM models.
•Team Leadership and Collaboration: As a Senior GIS Specialist, I provide technical leadership and guidance to the GIS team working on infrastructure design projects.
