Lead Civil Structural Engineer

ELTAYEB ABUAGLA

PROGER s.p.a.
Riyadh

Summary

For more than 16 years, I have worked at the intersection of structural engineering, technical governance and project delivery, including 15+ years across Saudi Arabia. My career began in structural design and site delivery, then progressed through construction supervision, PMC/PMO advisory and technical leadership across healthcare, water infrastructure, public-realm, government, residential and airport projects.

Today, I help clients, consultants, designers and contractors turn complex technical information into clear, safe and buildable decisions. As an SCE Consultant Engineer (Civil), PMP®, PMI-RMP® and LEED® Green Associate, I lead structural design reviews, design-compliance checks, constructability assessments, multidisciplinary coordination, QA/QC follow-up and technical risk resolution.

My experience includes the PPNNCC medical expansion at King Fahad Medical City, IWTP-8 in Jubail, Qiddiyah TSE Transmission, Green Riyadh and King Abdulaziz Park, and client-side technical advisory for the HRDF PMO.

My approach is simple: protect safety and design intent, identify risks early, and help project teams reach practical solutions,not merely issue comments. I am now looking to contribute at a broader leadership level as a Technical Manager, Structural Manager or Engineering Manager, leading technical assurance and integrated project delivery on complex programs across Saudi Arabia.
