Mostafa Meshref
Riyadh,Saudi Arabia
Summary
/ I am in a depth expertise in facilities mechanical commissioning, operations and maintenance accumulated from over 21 years of experience in Power Generation projects. I spent over 12 years on the commissioning and operation of CCGT and thermal PP Equipment (Steam Turbines, HRSG, Gas Turbines, Steam generators, and BOP), in addition to 9 years in the Operations & Maintenance of large thermal power plants. As a lead mechanical engineer, I have managed mechanical construction completion, and pre-commissioning/commissioning activities and developed a package of commissioning completion certificates in-line with the client's standards. I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering, started my career as an Operations & Maintenance engineer, and worked as an operations engineer which led me to take a position as a commissioning engineer and advanced progressively in commissioning and operation until a Lead position.
