Experienced mechanical engineer specializing in rotary machinery, gas plant maintenance, and project supervision.
Syrian Arab RepublicWhat I'm looking for
I am a mechanical engineer with two decades of experience in rotary machinery, gas plants, and field maintenance across compressor, turbine, and pipeline systems. I progressed from Executive Engineer to Deputy Manager, leading installation, repair, and maintenance teams for compressors, turbines, valves, generators, pumps, and pipelines.
My technical record includes hands-on and supervisory work on centrifugal and reciprocating compressors (MYCOM, BORSIG), gas turbines (MANTURBO THM1304-12), instrument and nitrogen compressors (ATLAS COPCO), industrial pumps (SULZER, LEWA, JOHNSON), and multiple valve types. I have formal training from BORSIG (reciprocating compressors), BEA Automation (IDUS asset management), and courses on gas turbine auxiliaries and compressor systems.
I bring strong project management, quality control, and complex problem-solving skills, supported by SolidWorks and MS Office capabilities, and a commitment to safe, efficient plant operations and continuous improvement.
