Work Experience

Senior Operations Engineer - New Acid Gas Removal Plant

Mar 2017 - Present
Ahmadi, Kuwait
Leading a high performing team, I am responsible for overseeing the commissioning and following daily operation at the New Acid Gas Removal Unit designed to treat 230 MMSCFD of sour gas and 800 tons per day of sulphur. During the 2020 COVID-19 outbreak, once the lockdown started, I immediately created effective and efficient systems to remotely manage the team on a 24-hour basis which maintained the commissioning activities on track and ultimately increased collaboration and significantly improved the unit’s performance which directly resulted in doubling the available capacity of the gas plant sour gas. I also collaborate with key stakeholders to identify new and review existing processes and procedures to ensure that they remain effective and deliver continuous improvement to plant operations.
