  Worked as Lead Electrical Engineer and below are the major accomplishments:- Managed a team of Electrical Engineers to provide technical support that included the development of EDCs, electrical switching procedures, and conducting optimization studies, resulting in a {30%} increase in operational efficiency. - Deployed an effective Electrical Remote Switching Technology solution that saved and avoided an estimated cost of $10.5 million. - Managed to complete the successful commissioning of a Power Monitoring System (PMS/PSA) with their eight generation units, resulting in a {40%} improvement in energy monitoring accuracy and generation independence. - Completed in-house successful Arc flash study, saving a total cost of $187K utilizing ETAP software to generate Arc Flash Labels with incident energy based on the IEEE 1584 standard. - Managed to develop a complete engineering design package and deployment of Motor Monitoring Technology (MTAP-2) on all SNGL HV motors - Led the design modification and deployment of SNGL 230kV GIS systems due to multiple deficiencies. - Resolved several technical issues that resulted in cost avoidance to the company, such as design deficiency in SNGL black start Centralized Emergency Diesel Generator that avoided a total estimated cost of $460K. Show less - Led a multi-discipline maintenance team to maintain all instrumentation and electrical equipment at SNGL plant, ensuring {99%} uptime and reliability. - Able to enhance the Preventive Maintenance (PM) Program from 17% to 100% and saved $600K by optimizing the SAP PM program for Low voltage Switchgears. - Established a knowledge-sharing system to raise the knowledge of the technicians and a tracking system for spare parts systems for electrical and instrumentation equipment, resulting in a {20%} decrease in downtime caused by equipment malfunction. Show less The job location is Shaybah and the main role is Electrical System Pre-commissioning and Commissioning Leader. I managed with a team of six Electrical Engineers along with PMT and contractor the successful pre-commissioning and commissioning of 11 electrical substations for the Shaybah Gas Plant. The commissioning includes high voltage synchronous motors and induction motors along with cogeneration systems and 230kV transmission lines and underground cables. It also includes the commissioning of both Power System Automation (PSA) and the interface with SCADA. Show less * Worked with Engineering Specialist Unit (ESU) as an electrical engineer at Khursaniyah Gas Plant (KGP). The main role is to perform electrical system studies, enhance electrical system reliability, and developing engineering design packages.* Developed and deployed the first interactive Electrical One-Line Diagram, which enhanced the understanding of the electrical power system and the accuracy of the maintenance program.* Developed the technique to perform load testing for Emergency Dissel Generators without impacting the running plant loads.
