Based in Medina, Saudi Arabia Transferable Iqama Available Immediately
Saudi Arabia's energy sector is shifting toward renewables and data-driven operations — I bring both sides of that shift. My PhD research (Peking University) focused on machine learning-based solar irradiance forecasting and renewable energy system modeling, published in peer-reviewed journals. Pair that with 6+ years of real EPC mechanical experience (piping, plant equipment, thermal-fluid systems) on major Saudi projects, and I can support solar/hybrid energy initiatives, predictive maintenance analytics, or digitalization efforts — not just theory, but engineering that's been tested on-site.
Academic & Research Background:
PhD, Energy and Resources Engineering, Peking University (北京大学), Beijing, China
Doctoral research: machine learning/deep learning models for solar irradiance forecasting and renewable energy system performance modeling
Published, peer-reviewed researcher in AI-driven solar forecasting
MS Mechanical Engineering, COMSATS University, Islamabad
BSc Mechanical Engineering, Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan
Renewable Energy & AI/ML Capabilities:
Solar irradiance forecasting and renewable energy yield prediction using ML/deep learning
Renewable and hybrid energy system design, modeling, and performance simulation
Predictive maintenance and AI-based reliability/failure analytics for plant equipment
Thermal-fluid simulation and thermodynamic cycle analysis
Data-driven optimization for energy system efficiency and digitalization initiatives
Strong programming and modeling foundation for building custom analytics tools
EPC Mechanical Field Experience (6+ years, Saudi Arabia):
Lead Mechanical Engineer – SEPCO Arabia, Jafurah Desalination Project (Jan 2024–Mar 2026): managed large-scale piping networks, plumbing systems, plant equipment installation, construction surveillance, and testing/commissioning readiness through to turnover and COD
Lead Mechanical Engineer (MEP Technical) – SEPCO Arabia, Maritime Yard Project, Ras Al Khair (Dec 2020–Nov 2023): supported Saudi Aramco EPC engineering, drawing/document review, field change coordination, and technical issue resolution
Direct, hands-on exposure to thermal-fluid systems, cooling systems, structural alignment, and mechanical design under real operating and construction constraints
QA/QC inspection, HSE compliance, risk assessment, and document control (Aconex)
ISO 9001:2015 Lead Auditor certified
Why this combination matters:
Most candidates offer either field engineering or research/analytics — rarely both. I can walk onto a live EPC or O&M site and manage mechanical execution, and I can also build and interpret the ML models needed to forecast solar output, predict equipment failures, or optimize energy system performance. For organizations investing in solar plants, hybrid energy systems, or digital/AI-driven operations in Saudi Arabia, this means one engineer who understands both the physical plant and the data behind it.
Technical Skills:
Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-Learn ANSYS, REFPROP, Cycle Tempo, MATLAB, AutoCAD, Creo Aconex (Document Control) MS Office Suite
Languages: Urdu (Native), English (Fluent), Mandarin Chinese (Fluent — 6+ years living/studying in China), Arabic (Conversational)
Open to opportunities with: solar/renewable energy developers, energy consultancies, EPC contractors with renewables divisions, utilities and power plants pursuing digitalization, R&D and technical teams in oil & gas/energy sectors
