Mechanical and project planning engineer leveraging Primavera P6 to deliver on-time maintenance and shutdown execution.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Mechanical and Planning Engineer with over 14 years of experience in project planning, scheduling, and engineering coordination across oil & gas, refinery, petrochemical, and construction industries. I focus on building reliable schedules and keeping execution aligned to project goals.
In recent roles as an Area Planner at Descon Engineering for ADNOC LNG (Das Island) and BOROUGE (Ruwais), I prepare project schedules, look-ahead plans, and S-curves for maintenance and shutdown activities. I monitor critical paths, identify risks, and recommend corrective actions to avoid delays and rework.
From 2021 to 2024 as a Planner at Synergy SBS, I managed planning, progress monitoring, and reporting. I supported execution teams by identifying delays, implementing recovery plans, and delivering daily/weekly progress updates.
Earlier, I worked as a Static Equipment Designer at Reliance Industries Ltd. (Arihant Petroleum), preparing datasheets and detailed drawings for tanks, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, drums, and columns. I also brought QA/QC experience from roles performing welding inspections, material traceability, and QA/QC reporting.
