What I'm looking for

I seek an automation/control role at a company focused on process optimization and sustainable energy where I can apply PLC/DCS/SCADA skills and continue technical growth.

I am a control engineer specializing in industrial automation with hands-on internship experience across major Algerian refineries and energy companies. I pursue automation of industrial processes and refining process optimization, leveraging PLC, DCS, SCADA and HMI systems to improve efficiency.

Academically, I hold a B.Sc. in Control Engineering and am pursuing a Master's in Control Engineering (Automation of Industrial Processes), with noted academic rankings and practical achievements during multiple Sonatrach and Sonelgaz internships.

I bring MATLAB, AutoCAD, basic Python and SQL skills, strong English (IELTS-certified), and a commitment to sustainable energy and robotics. I seek roles where I can apply automation expertise to real-world process improvements and grow technically.
