Mechanical Engineer | Construction & Fabrication
I am a Licensed Mechanical Engineer with a strong background in engineering, manufacturing, construction, fabrication and oil & gas. Throughout my career, I have developed a versatile technical skill set spanning design, structural, piping and pipe support, quantity surveying, cost estimation, tendering, procurement, project management, fabrication and manufacturing engineering.
My experience includes working with international projects and US-based manufacturing requirements, where precision, technical compliance, and attention to detail are essential. I am proficient in interpreting engineering and client drawings, preparing quantity take-offs, developing BOMs and BOQs reviewing work package, and producing detailed technical and fabrication documentation.
I approach every project with a combination of technical expertise, analytical thinking, and practical problem solving. My goal is to consistently deliver accurate, efficient, and commercially sound engineering solutions while contributing measurable value to the projects and organizational I work with.

Oil & Gas | Power Plant
Willow Central Facilities Project
The Willow Central Facilities Project is a large-scale greenfield oil and gas development located on Alaska’s North Slope. The project involves the construction of a central processing facility designed to receive, process, and transport oil and gas production from multiple drill sites.
The project scope includes modular process facilities, structural steel, mechanical equipment, process and utility piping, pipe supports, electrical and instrumentation systems, utilities, foundations, roads, pipelines, and other supporting infrastructure. A significant portion of the facility is constructed using modular fabrication, with large modules fabricated off-site, transported to Alaska, and installed at the project site.
The project requires close coordination between engineering, fabrication, procurement, construction, and commissioning teams to ensure compliance with design specifications, drawings, quality requirements, safety standards, and project schedules.
APOC PDH/ UTOS Project
The APOC PDH / UTOS Project is a large-scale petrochemical and industrial construction project located in Jubail Industrial City II, Saudi Arabia. It is part of the development of Advanced Polyolefins Industry Company's integrated petrochemical complex.
PDH (Propane Dehydrogenation) is the main process facility, which converts propane into propylene. The PDH plant has a nameplate capacity of approximately 843,000 tons of propylene per year using CATOFIN technology. UTOS (Utilities and Offsites) provides the supporting utility and infrastructure systems required for plant operation, including water, air, steam, and water-treatment facilities.
Hawiyah Unayzah Gas Reservoir Storage Project (HUGRS)
Hawiyah Unayzah Gas Reservoir Storage (HUGRS) Project – A major Saudi Aramco natural gas storage project located in Hawiyah, Saudi Arabia.
