Saudi ArabiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an Electrical Engineer with 6+ years of hands-on experience in installing, testing, commissioning, and maintaining electrical systems across industrial, commercial, and infrastructure projects. I focus on low/medium/high-voltage power distribution, lighting systems, motors, transformers, control panels, and earthing systems—always aligning work with IEC, NEC, and local authority standards while prioritizing safety, quality, and timely delivery.
In my current role at Vander Hoeven (NEOM, Tabuk), I supervise and optimize power generation and distribution networks, lead transformer testing and commissioning, and support switchgear installation and maintenance. I also perform detailed assessments of circuit breakers, carry out high-voltage testing and cable termination, and develop earthing and grounding solutions to mitigate electrical hazards. Beyond pure power work, I program and support automation using Siemens/Allen-Bradley/Schneider PLCs, build FAT/SAT workflows, and develop SCADA/HMI documentation to improve operational transparency.
