Work History

---|---|---|
Corporate HSE Manager | 01.2022 - today | I joined Freyssinet Saudi Arabia as Project HSE Manager, where I delivered several high-profile projects, including the King Salman Park – Visitor Pavilion (2022–2023) with Faithful + Gould and WSP, the Sport Boulevard Foundation – Cycle Bridge P2B (2023–2024) with IDOM, and the MiSK Foundation Centre and Peninsula Office (2024–present) with Atkins. In these roles, I was responsible for establishing and implementing HSE systems, conducting audits, ensuring compliance with client and consultant requirements, and leading safety teams on complex, multi-stakeholder projects. My performance in successfully managing safety governance, improving compliance, and building strong HSE cultures at project level led to my promotion as Corporate HSE Manager. In this role, I oversee the organization’s HSE strategy, set governance and policy requirements for all projects, and act as a consultant and legal advisor to the Board of Directors. I am responsible for establishing company-wide management systems, leading internal audits, and driving initiatives to strengthen people capability, safety culture, and overall safety maturity across the business. |
HSE Manager | 07.2017 - 12.2021 | During my tenure with Mohammed Al Rashid Contracting Company (MARCO), I led health and safety management across several major projects in Saudi Arabia. As Senior Health and Safety Lead for the Imam University Riyadh Operations and Maintenance Project (2017–2018) and Ready Built Factories 20 in Sudair Industrial City (2018–2020), I was responsible for risk assessments, compliance monitoring, workforce training, and strengthening site safety culture in line with consultant and client requirements. I was then promoted to Project HSE Manager, where I managed large-scale industrial and cultural developments, including Ready Built Factories 60 (2020–2021) with MODON and Diriyah Art Oasis Center (2021) with DGDA and ARCADIS. In these roles, I established project-specific HSE systems, conducted audits, and provided strategic guidance to ensure compliance with international standards and regulatory frameworks. My work at MARCO enhanced governance, improved safety performance, and successfully supported the safe delivery of high-profile projects. |
