Introduction: Engineering Project Success Across Borders and Disciplines
In a world where infrastructure defines national progress, project leadership must be both precise and predictive. With more than 22 years of experience across mega EPC projects in the Gulf region, I’ve led transformation not only through project schedules and reports — but through governance, risk foresight, and dispute resolution frameworks that ensure sustainable delivery.
Today, as a Senior Project Control Manager in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, I continue to architect outcomes at the crossroads of technology, regulation, and execution.
Mastering Complexity: Leading Mega EPC Initiatives with Precision
My career has been grounded in end-to-end EPC delivery — from pre-planning and engineering to commissioning. I’ve managed integrated master schedules (Level 1 to Level 3), implemented cost control frameworks, and optimized earned value analysis (EVA) to drive transparency and timely intervention across large-scale construction programs.
This commitment to discipline and structure enables alignment across project owners, contractors, and consultants. For professionals navigating such multidisciplinary coordination, programs like the Doctorate in Project Management offer a strategic foundation to scale leadership across multi-stakeholder environments.
Risk Management and Forensic Delay Expertise
Risk is inevitable — but with the right framework, it becomes manageable. I specialize in Monte Carlo-based simulation and enterprise risk methodologies, having conducted impact and delay analyses based on SCL and AACE protocols. Whether it’s planning recovery strategies, identifying root causes of delay, or managing force majeure claims, my approach blends forensic rigor with business understanding.
Project leaders handling these high-risk, high-stakes environments benefit from advanced learning such as the Doctorate in IT Governance, which provides the strategic architecture to align delivery with compliance and long-term resilience.

Contract Governance, Claims, and Dispute Resolution
My expertise spans contract lifecycle management — from initiation and variation to dispute resolution via ADR, mediation, or arbitration. As a FIDIC Certified Contract Manager with additional diplomas in forensic schedule analysis and dispute management, I’ve led commercial operations that ensure contractual clarity and minimize exposure.
Professionals managing such complexity in contract portfolios would benefit from recognized frameworks like the Prince2 Practitioner Certification, which add rigor to planning, control, and stakeholder alignment in construction and infrastructure projects.
Vision Ahead: Mentoring, Methodology & Regional Impact
Beyond execution, I remain focused on mentoring the next generation of project professionals. From PMO leadership to Power BI dashboards and P3O frameworks, I advocate for the integration of technology and method in construction delivery — particularly across emerging markets in the Middle East.
Conclusion: Leadership Through Discipline and Foresight
From risk modeling to boardroom reporting, from forensic schedules to stakeholder collaboration — my journey is defined by one core value: build with vision, and lead with clarity. In the infrastructure economy, project control is not just technical — it’s strategic.
To fellow project and program leaders: Embrace governance, elevate planning, and lead every milestone with measurable purpose.
