About

In my current role as a Mechanical Engineer at Saudi Plastic Production Company (SAPPCO), I was responsible for managing work order processes, procurement, and coordination. I also ensured compliance with standards and procedures, identified necessary materials, tools, and equipment for job steps, reviewed catalogs, requisitioned materials, and managed direct charge materials. In addition, I negotiated favorable terms, volume discounts, and long-term contracts with suppliers, and coordinated with operations, maintenance, warehouse, and engineering teams. I am also proficient in computerized maintenance management systems, and I have experience in reviewing material reservations, committed materials, and posting material for scheduling. I have also managed material storage, issuance, and return, requested additional resources, and ensured contract readiness. In addition, I have planned, scheduled, reported, and checked work orders, and collaborated on major job planning and critical path chart development. As a Mechanical Engineer with a strong foundation in facilities and maintenance operations, I thrive at the intersection of technical precision, hands-on problem solving, and continuous improvement. With six years of experience across manufacturing, plant operations, and facility management, I’ve built a track record of boosting equipment reliability, reducing downtime, and ensuring safe, efficient environments that support business goals. Whether it's implementing predictive maintenance strategies, optimizing utility systems, or leading cross-functional teams through CAPEX projects — I bring a proactive mindset and an eye for sustainable, long-term solutions.
