Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Chemical Engineer with a Master’s degree (Second Class Honors) and over three years of professional experience in quality assurance, research and development within chemical manufacturing, project management in the environmental and water sectors, and applied academic research. Previously served as a Quality Assurance Engineer and Acting QA/QC Manager, with hands-on responsibility for ISO 9001 compliance, audits, process control, documentation, CAPA implementation, and customer complaint resolution. Contributed to R&D activities through formulation optimization, raw material evaluation, and product performance improvement. Selected for the Master’s Graduate Development Program at Saudi Water Partnerships Company (SWPC), gaining structured training and practical exposure to Public-Private Partnership (PPP) frameworks, project lifecycle management, contract administration, financial modeling, Power BI, and desalination technologies. Completed advanced graduate research on the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of hydrogen-rich syngas production from biogas using dry and oxidative reforming, strengthening expertise in sustainability, catalysis, gas processing, and data-driven evaluation. Gained additional operational training through the Engineers Qualification Program at the Saudi Water Academy, covering RO desalination plants, utilities, turbines, boilers, and process control systems, alongside international technical and communication training at Purdue University (USA). Proficient in Aspen HYSYS, Aspen Plus, and SCADA, with certifications in Six Sigma, PMP-related programs, and OSHA safety standards.
A selective national development program aimed at preparing high-potential graduates for leadership roles in the water and PPP sectors. Over a 3-month structured learning journey covering division rotations, expert-led workshops, applied projects, and field visits, I gained technical, financial, and managerial exposure across the full project lifecycle. Program Highlights & Learning Outcomes: • Exposure to SWPC divisions including Planning, Transactions, Project Delivery, Contracts, Reliability, and Local Content. • Gained practical understanding of Public-Private Partnership (PPP) models, risk allocation mechanisms, tariff structures, procurement, and tender evaluation. • Enhanced financial literacy through Financial Management, Financial Modeling, and Project Finance modules. • Developed data analytics competency using Power BI to support reporting and performance insights. • Applied AI tools in predictive monitoring, operational analysis, and engineering decision support. • Strengthened project and contract management capabilities via PM workshops, negotiation sessions, and case studies. • Improved communication, interview performance, problem-solving, and presentation skills through professional coaching. • Built a foundation in desalination processes through technical learning delivered by the Water Academy. • Completed field exposure via site visits to major treatment projects (Jubail A and Dammam ISTP). • Engaged directly with sector leaders through opening/closing events, executive talks, and mentorship interactions.
• The study focused on improving process efficiency, developing sustainable reforming technologies, and assessing environmental impacts to support Saudi Vision 2030 goals for carbon emission reduction. • Designed and conducted bench-scale experiments on the combined dry and oxidative reforming of biogas to produce hydrogen-rich syngas, integrating catalyst testing and process optimization as part of an M.Sc. thesis in Chemical Engineering. • Prepared and evaluated catalysts for activity and stability. • Characterized catalysts using techniques such as BET, XRD, and SEM. • Operated a bench-scale reactor integrated with SCADA control, Agilent 8890 GC system, and ASPEN Plus process simulation. • Performed life cycle assessment (LCA) using GaBi software to quantify environmental impacts. • Authored a comprehensive research thesis summarizing experimental results, data analysis, and sustainability evaluation.
• Monitored and analyzed quality performance across all factory operations to produce a specific product, writing concise and detailed reports during process monitoring. • Inspected and tested packaging materials, raw materials, semi-finished products, and finished products to ensure quality specifications and mitigate potential hazards. • Investigated and correct product or production problems and develop a corrective action plan in the non-conformity report to prevent material waste and reduce associated costs. • Designed and improved quality assurance documentation: Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for multiple departments. • Worked as Deputy Manager of Quality Control and Quality Assurance for one month, reviewing customer complaints and working to resolve them, final approval of any product leaving the quality control department to be sent to the packaging department, and communicating with the research and development department to resolve any material-related issues.
• Process Optimisation. • Solved the QC department problems by changing the formula or use other procedures. • Continues development and research of the product to create a better product or reduces the cost. • Experiments (Pigment Paste for foam colors, water based color, Solvent based color, PVC). • Raw material tested and comparison with the standard (Pigments , Additives, Solvents).
