Communications & Network Engineer · Procurement QC Supervisor

Network engineering and procurement quality control, from design to material release.

About

I'm an engineer accredited by the Saudi Council of Engineers in networks and communications, with experience split across two tracks that feed each other: procurement quality control on large-scale projects, and ICT and telecom network engineering.

On the quality side, I review vendor prequalification packages and material submittals against project specifications and international standards, review Inspection and Test Plans, and chair pre-inspection meetings with vendors, third-party agencies and client representatives through to final material release.

On the engineering side, my background is in network design and implementation, routing and switching, ICT infrastructure, fiber optic systems, network security and performance monitoring. I lead field teams and take work through to client acceptance.
