  • Led and delivered 15 turnaround projects during the Kemya site’s November 2024 total complex turnaround, achieving 100% on-time and within the budget delivery. Notably, three projects enhanced olefin plant operations, extending the turnaround lifecycle from 7 to 8 years and meeting SEEC requirements with a 30% steam reduction, driving energy efficiency.• Managed and delivered a key EHSS project two months before schedule by accelerating milestones and completing engineering and procurement by December 2023, eliminating fire hazards and elevating EHSS maturity at the site. Negotiated an early plant shutdown to January 2024, enabling execution in two weeks and ensuring seamless operational readiness through proactive planning and collaboration.• Identified and mitigated a critical risk in the distillation column upgrade at UNITED by requiring site verification of 60-inch piping connections, uncovering discrepancies in as-built drawings, liaising with the manufacturer in China to ensure accurate fabrication, leading to on-time project execution during the 2022 turnaround.• Established a simplified procedure for small CAPEX projects, eliminating the need for Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) and transitioning directly from concept to detailed engineering. Reduced project lifecycle from 24 months to 18 months on average, cutting costs and streamlining execution. Leveraged master agreement contractors for engineering and construction, enhancing efficiency and project delivery timelines. Show less Managed high-value projects at SABIC, overseeing CAPEX up to SAR 200 million, and successfully addressing critical operational risks.• Led two major projects valued at SAR 80M each during the 2021 and 2022 UNITED turnarounds, restoring plant capacity and ensuring safety.• Developed and published a new execution procedure in 2019, reducing project durations by 3-4 months and achieving significant cost savings.• Implemented strict EHSS compliance measures, conducting daily site walkthroughs and EHSS awareness campaigns for contractor workers. Show less Managed and delivered two projects at UNITED during the 2016 shutdown, reducing impurities, improving product quality, and minimizing disruptions. Led risk management workshops with stakeholders and subject matter experts to identify and mitigate project risks. Engaged stakeholders to align objectives, streamline reviews, and enhance decision-making. Executed quarterly EHSS campaigns, collaborating with management and contractors to reinforce safety awareness. Mitigated underground risks by engaging specialized contractors for ground scans, ensuring accurate engineering designs, and preventing delays.• Conducted regular site visits in collaboration with the team and EHSS representatives, engaging contractor workers with "golden questions" to assess their understanding of safety rules, hazard identification, and mitigation procedures.• Addressed budget and timeline challenges by coordinating with stakeholders to split the project into two phases: completing mechanical tie-ins during the shutdown and installing the main vessel post-shutdown without additional downtime. • Identified and assessed risks qualitatively and quantitatively, documenting them in a detailed risk register. Established regular risk review meetings to monitor triggers, evaluate risks, and implement agreed-upon mitigation actions when risks materialized.• Addressed challenges with outdated underground drawings by collaborating with engineering teams and stakeholders to resolve unexpected underground obstacles, including pipes and cables, by adjusting foundation locations and redesigning as needed.
