Profile

About Me

I am a Senior Project Manager and PMC Leader with 22 years of full-lifecycle construction supervision and PMC delivery in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Egypt. I specialise in luxury hospitality, mixed-use mega-developments, healthcare, residential, and national infrastructure — consistently operating as the single point of PMC accountability between senior clients, government entities, and major contractor organisations.

My track record includes a SAR 1 billion LEED Platinum 5-star resort inaugurated by HRH the Prince of the Eastern Province, a USD 300 million luxury hotel delivered three months ahead of programme, and the SAR 13 billion NHC National Housing Programme across six KSA regions — 100,000+ units, 23 contractors, full PMO transformation. I have directed supervision teams of up to 100 personnel and managed 14 concurrent buildings on a single programme.

Tier-1 firm experience: AMEC Consultants (7 years) and Arcadis / Hyder Engineering (Makkah) — applying international DMS and project controls standards throughout my career. I report to Programme and PMC Directors, supporting strategic, contractual, commercial, and delivery decisions at programme level while holding full site authority.

MBA from Anglia Ruskin University (UK). PhD Candidate in AI and Project Management. PMP, RMP, CCM, P3GP, PMO-IP, FIDIC. Saudi Council of Engineers registered. Native Arabic speaker with full professional English. Based in Riyadh — immediately available.
