HAITHAM AWADALLA

• Supervise daily operation of electrical systems, including drives, transformers, PLCs, and distribution panels, ensuring uninterrupted plant performance.
• Execute preventive and predictive maintenance schedules for over 250 pieces of critical equipment, resulting in a 20% reduction in breakdowns and improved production up time.
• Diagnose and resolve complex faults in switch gear, and circuit breakers, minimising downtime and saving significant maintenance costs.
• Monitor energy consumption trends, identify inefficiencies, and recommend optimisation measures, contributing to a 10–15% reduction in energy costs annually.
• Lead electrical support during shutdowns and emergency repairs, supervising a team of electricians to ensure safe and timely restoration of operations.
• Coordinate closely with mechanical, instrumentation, and production teams to resolve cross-functional issues and maintain synchronised plant operations.
• Conduct root cause analysis (RCA) for major failures and submit detailed reports to management, recommending corrective and preventive actions.
• Ensure compliance with safety standards and procedures (e.g., Lockout/Tagout, NFPA/OSHA guidelines), achieving a record of zero lost-time incidents in the past 10 years.
• Maintain documentation, including equipment history, inspection logs, spare usage, and maintenance reports, to support audits and continuous improvement.
• Managed cabling works: planned routes, selected appropriate cable types, and supervised installation in compliance with international standards, ensuring safety and reliability.
• Supported installation and commissioning of emergency power generators, chillers, and oil/water temperature control units for critical production facilities.

Key Achievements:

• Successfully led an electrical upgrade project that replaced outdated panels and drives, improving system efficiency by 25%.
• Spearheaded the troubleshooting and repair of crane electrical systems, restoring critical material handling within 24 hours and preventing production delays.
• Developed and trained junior electricians on electrical schematics interpretation, PLC troubleshooting, and safe work practices, improving team competency.
