What I'm looking for

I seek a role in Saudi Arabia's industrial or power sector with operational responsibility, hands-on maintenance, and opportunities to improve plant reliability and efficiency.

I am a dedicated Mechanical & Power Plant Engineer with over 14 years of hands-on experience in operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of large-scale HFO and diesel power plants. I have operated and maintained engines and turbines across plants sized 32 MW to 150 MW, including MAN, Rolls-Royce, Cummins, Pielstick, Niigata, and Sulzer units.

In my recent roles I have served as Shift In Charge and Deputy Shift In Charge, managing central control-room operations, supervising multi-engine installations, and overseeing auxiliary systems such as boilers, purifiers (GEA Westfalia), lube systems, and WHRBs. I consistently apply preventive and corrective maintenance practices to maximize availability.

I am skilled in plant process control, instrument reading, LOTO/isolation procedures, and maintenance documentation, and I have delivered measurable reliability improvements through disciplined troubleshooting and routine maintenance programs. My background includes formal education in Mechanical Engineering and a diploma in Power Technology.

I am seeking a challenging role in the Saudi Arabian industrial, mechanical, or power sector where I can apply my engine operation, plant maintenance, and process-control expertise to support operational excellence and organizational growth.
