What I'm looking for

I seek senior MEP engineering roles where I can lead multidisciplinary teams, manage end-to-end HVAC/MEP projects, ensure regulatory compliance, and drive process improvements to deliver projects on time and within budget.

I am a results-driven Mechanical Engineer with over four years' experience delivering MEP design, project coordination, and technical leadership. I hold PMP certification and am proficient in Revit MEP, focused on aligning technical solutions with business objectives.

I have led end-to-end MEP execution for high-profile projects including banking showrooms and large medical facilities, delivering complex HVAC, firefighting and plumbing systems. I ensure designs meet ASHRAE, NFPA and Saudi Building Code requirements while managing procurement and consultant approvals.

My background spans technical office engineering, site supervision, and freelance MEP design across Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Malaysia, performing load calculations, system sizing, shop drawings, commissioning and BMS integration. I emphasize quality assurance, safety compliance, and coordinated multi-trade execution.

I bring a pragmatic, deadline-driven approach to project delivery, optimizing workflows and mentoring teams to deliver high-quality outcomes on time and within budget. I seek to continuously improve systems through innovation and precise engineering.
