I am a Senior MEP Project Manager with over 34 years of international experience (including 16 years in GCC area) delivering large-scale, complex developments across Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, and Greece. I specialize in leading multidisciplinary teams, managing full project lifecycles, and ensuring seamless delivery of MEP systems from design and procurement through construction, testing & commissioning, and handover.

My portfolio includes mega projects, hotels / hospitality, stadiums / sports facilities, utility buildings, hospitals, mixed-use developments, and infrastructure assets, with project values reaching SAR 6.5bn. I bring deep technical expertise, strong leadership, and a proven ability to drive efficiency, resolve complex coordination issues, and deliver high-quality outcomes aligned with client, technical, and commercial expectations.

Throughout my career I have gained comprehensive, diverse and multi-perspective experience across all key project delivery environments, having worked on the Contractor, PMC (Project Management and Construction Services), and Client sides.
