I am writing to express my strong interest in a Senior Project Engineer Mechanical Piping role within your organization. With over 20 years of progressive experience in oil & gas, petrochemical, and EPC project delivery across Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Pakistan, I have developed a comprehensive track record of successfully managing multi-million-dollar capital projects for world-class operators including Saudi Aramco, SABIC, RasGas, and Qatar Gas. I am confident that my technical expertise, leadership capabilities, and PMP® certification make me a compelling candidate for this role.
In my current role as Project Construction Manager at Bin Quraya, I am directing the construction of two 56" diameter, 85 km parallel cross-country gas pipelines for Saudi Aramco's MasterGas Pipeline Phase 3 project. I oversee all aspects of EPC delivery — from FEED and ROW preparation through auto-welding, NDT, HDD crossings, above-ground valve station construction, and pre-commissioning — while managing subcontractor performance, resources, and strict compliance with Saudi Aramco safety and quality standards. This builds on my earlier experience at SAMREF, where I led pipeline construction from FEED through EPCIC handover with zero safety incidents, and at MIS Arabia, where I managed the full project lifecycle across fabrication, erection, and commissioning activities for Saudi Aramco, SABIC, and Ma'aden clients.
My core strengths span the full project management spectrum: schedule recovery and Primavera P6 planning, contract administration and variation order management, HSE compliance including HAZOP, JSA, and PTW, cost estimation and control, and multi-disciplinary team coordination across civil, mechanical, piping, and E&I disciplines. I am deeply familiar with Saudi Aramco, ASME, and API engineering standards, and I bring hands-on proficiency with SAP (PS module), Oracle ERP, and MS Project. My IChemE Associate Membership and professional background in process operations further complement my engineering and construction expertise.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated the ability to lead complex, large-scale projects under demanding conditions, interface effectively with clients and regulatory bodies, and drive project teams to deliver within schedule and budget constraints. I am known for proactive risk management, clear stakeholder communication, and a strong commitment to HSE excellence — qualities I would bring to every project in your portfolio.
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my background and capabilities align with your requirements. Please find my CV attached for your review. I am available at your earliest convenience for an interview and can be reached at +966 538 274 852 or shiraz.ahmed21@gmail.com.
