MAZIN YASSIN

Senior Geologist

Summary

I hold a degree from El-Neelain University (Sudan), Oil and Mineral College, which I obtained in 2012. My professional journey began in marketing and sales, followed by a transition to the mining industry. Upon relocating to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, I expanded my expertise across various fields.

Notably, I spent two years at FIO Co. Ltd., specializing in solar energy as a Site Geologist, where my responsibilities encompassed excavation, equipment management, bill of quantities (BOQ), and invoice administration.

Subsequently, I joined the Arab Company for Laboratories and Soil (ACES), commencing as a Site Geologist on prominent projects in Riyadh, including Qiddiya, King Salman Park, and multiple sites. As my career progressed, I transitioned to an office-based role, focusing on project follow-up, client liaison, providing expert recommendations, and conducting technical calculations such as bearing capacity, settlement, and Vertical Modulus of Subgrade Reaction (Ks).

My expertise also extends to preparing comprehensive geotechnical reports related to engineering works and projects, providing actionable engineering recommendations, and ensuring seamless project execution.
