What I'm looking for

I am an Instrument Supervisor with over 15 years of experience in the Oil & Gas industry, specializing in both offshore and onshore projects. My expertise encompasses commissioning, maintenance, and operation of various control systems, including DCS, PLC, and safety systems. I have a proven track record of leading teams in high-pressure environments, ensuring compliance with safety regulations while optimizing operational efficiency.

Currently, I work as an Instrument Group Leader at Dietsmann in Kuwait, where I oversee maintenance and commissioning activities at the KIPC Al-Zour refinery. My hands-on experience with advanced monitoring and control systems, coupled with my strong documentation skills, allows me to effectively manage projects from inception to completion. I am dedicated to continuous improvement and have successfully led numerous shutdown and turnaround maintenance activities.

Throughout my career, I have developed a comprehensive understanding of instrumentation and control systems, including troubleshooting, calibration, and installation. I am passionate about fostering a culture of safety and teamwork, conducting regular toolbox talks to ensure all team members are aligned with project goals and safety protocols.
