I am a qualified Electrical Engineer with overall 5 years of experience including home country experience in power generation, hydropower, and the oil & gas sectors. Specializing in SCADA system, protection relays, power transmission, and electrical maintenance, I have expertise in optimizing electrical systems in power plant and ensuring operational safety and compliance with industry standards.
My experience includes:
o HV/LV electrical systems knowledge, SCADA Supervisory, and protection relay systems.
o Conducting system inspections, load management, and ensuring safety protocols are adhered to.
o Improving operational reliability in power plants and hydropower stations.
o Technical reporting, procurement support, and safety compliance in high-pressure environments.
I am now looking for challenging engineering opportunities in the electrical engineering company, power generation and oil & gas sectors or any electrical firm where I can apply my technical skills and contribute to the success of critical infrastructure projects. I hold a transferable Iqama and am available for immediate relocation or deployment within Saudi Arabia.
