I'm a detail-oriented engineer with a passion for solving complex Inspection challenges. My credentials, including ASNT NDT Level III (MT & RT) certification, CSWIP Welding and Coating Inspector certifications, and API Inspector status, speak to my technical proficiency. Over the past decade at Saudi Aramco Riyadh Refinery and Saudi Aramco approved vendor sites, I've applied my expertise to develop impactful Inspection Test Plans (ITPs), Project Execution Procedures, Welding procedure Specifications (WPS), Procedure Qualification records(PQR) and Quality Manuals, ensuring project success while adhering to Saudi Aramco standards. My meticulous approach extends to my communication skills. I'm a gifted technical writer, capable of crafting clear and concise documents like Quality Dossiers, Project Execution Procedures, Inspection Test Plans, and Quality Manuals & Reports. This ensures transparency, knowledge transfer, and seamless project execution.
