About

Turning complex solar projects into reliable, on-time power generation. I’m a Solar PV Project Engineer at Arctech Solar, working on a 2GW utility-scale project in Ar Rass, and 3GW AL Humaij Solar PV Project in KSA. I lead commissioning, installation, and on-site execution—ensuring solar tracker systems perform reliably from day one. My focus is simple: deliver projects safely, efficiently, and without delays. Over the past 6+ years, I’ve worked across construction, manufacturing, and renewable energy. I’ve led tracker testing and commissioning including programming, calibration, and troubleshooting, improved project timelines, and consistently maintained zero lost-time incidents (LTI) on-site. Earlier in my career, I reduced lead times by 20% and cut installation delays by 25% through better planning and coordination. I work closely with cross-functional teams, using tools like SCADA, QA/QC processes, and data analysis to optimize performance and execution.Looking ahead, I’m focused on stepping into a more technical and leadership roles in solar project delivery, where I can drive larger teams, scale execution strategies, and deliver high-impact utility-scale projects. I’m actively strengthening my capabilities in project leadership, data analytics, Python, and Power BI to lead smarter, more efficient solar operations. If you’re working on solar projects, EPC execution, or looking for someone who can drive both execution and leadership on-site, let’s connect.
