BE in Electronics Engineering

Key Achievements:
• Played a pivotal role as member of the commissioning team, accountable for initiating the largest crude distillation unit, carbon black, PDH and RFCC unit for a $10 billion refinery project.
• Seamlessly collaborated with licensor on mitigating catalyst loss in RFCC plant, as well as vendor for instrumentation reliability enhancement after signing of PAC.
• Worked closely with Yokogawa vendor under service order contract in design and implementation of first out logic.
• Saved $12 million by performing ESD and DCS functional test for RFCC unit/olefin and alkylation unit instead of awarding to EPC contract as part of an $865 million restoration project.
• Delivered support and supervision for the development of the UAE Nationalisation Programme.
• Acted as member of the incident investigation committee in overseeing technical problems impacting refinery operation, causing potential loss, and providing recommendation for improvement.

Responsibilities:
• Manage construction, pre-commissioning and commissioning activities on site, including scheduling and coordinating daily workflow for seven instrumentation technicians.
• Lead implementation of corrective and preventive actions to swiftly solve instrumentation faults and prepare preventive/predictive/corrective and breakdown maintenance documents.
• Initiate comprehensive reviews for existing systems through MOC (Management of Change), as well as functional design specification of DCS, ESD and MCM systems.
• Bring novel ideas to design drawings, including loop diagrams, instrument hook-up, termination diagrams and interconnection diagrams.
• Contribute to project and commissioning meetings with contractors, PMC, TPI and other departments to ensure projects are completed on time and within targets.
• Ensure installation and commissioning of instrument equipment strictly adhere to design requirements, such as control panels, ESD panels, chemical injection skid, field transmitters, control valves and PLC.
• Coordinate safety and toolbox meetings to ensure all work is conducted in line with approved health and safety regulations and procedures.
• Instrumental in highlighting training gaps while formulating client personnel training execution plans.

Key Achievements:
• Mitigated issues impacting refinery operation by effectively testing and calibrating field instrumentation and troubleshooting instrumentation-related problems.
• Demonstrated strong leadership abilities while overseeing seven technicians.
• Received the Mabrook Award for excellent performance and outstanding cost-saving contributions made.
• Delivered support and supervision for the development of the Qatari Nationalisation Programme.

Responsibilities:
• Scrutinised instrumentation drawings, such as P&ID, datasheet, logic, hook up, wiring and termination diagrams.
• Maintained strict attention to detail when assessing and implementing instrument Plant Change Requests (PCR).
• Established positive, professional relationships with clients, vendors and contractors during project meetings.

Key Achievements:
• Increased productivity and decreased costs by $50,000 by upgrading instrument air dryer from conventional relay into automated PLC control.
• Made significant contributions in increasing company profit by performing modification in boiler control system.

Responsibilities:
• Oversaw commissioning and start-up activities, ensuring all jobs were completed within planned timeframes.
• Constantly identified bottlenecks for progress, diagnosing problematic faults and sourcing efficient solutions to troubleshoot analyser equipment, and fire and gas systems.
• Maintained compliance with occupational safety and health regulations when organising preventive, corrective, predictive and breakdown maintenance.
• Utilised technological knowledge effectively when orchestrating instrument-related modifications and conducting loop check and functional test of DCS and ESD loop.
