I make EPC project data trustworthy enough to hand over

I work with owners, EPC contractors and PMCs on mega-programs whose documents, 3D models and engineering databases no longer agree with each other. I turn that into one governed, Digital-Twin-ready dataset that Operations accepts at handover — instead of a closeout scramble and months of data rework.

What does your information handover look like today?

Make your EPC project data trustworthy enough to hand over

Most EPC handovers fail before they reach closeout. Drawings, 3D models and engineering databases tell different stories. The EDMS becomes a dumping ground. Operations rejects the dataset, and the project spends months — and money — fixing data that should have been governed from day one.

I advise owners, contractors, PMCs and individual professionals on how to fix this before it becomes a crisis. You leave with a governed data structure, an EDMS your team actually uses, a handover package that passes client review, and people trained to keep standards in place long after the session ends.

My guidance is built on 15+ years across EPC, PMC and mega-programs in Saudi Arabia, client-approved appointments, and record books prepared to Saudi Aramco and TotalEnergies standards.

Where I started

I did not come to data from engineering. I came to it from evidence.

Before I governed Digital Twin databases, I spent eleven years establishing facts that had to survive challenge — as a loss adjuster reconstructing what really happened at an incident site, and as an intelligence officer whose reports had to hold up in prosecution. In both jobs a claim without evidence was worthless, and a broken chain of custody lost the case.

That is exactly what information handover is. A 3D model, a datasheet and a certificate either agree and can be traced, or the asset owner inherits a dispute. Anyone can learn the platforms. The habit of not accepting a record until it is proven is the part I brought with me.

Professional Experience

Career track record

MASCO Energy

Nov 2023 – Present

Project Information Manager / Data Manager · Saudi Arabia

  • Digital Twin data arrived from multiple disciplines in incompatible shapes. I set the submission rules and now govern weekly 1D, bi-weekly 3D and monthly 2D database submissions as client focal person — every cycle delivered on schedule since I took the role.
  • 3D models, schematics and engineering databases (S3D, SPI, SPEL, SPF) disagreed with each other. I run reconciliation between them, so what the model says and what the database says are the same answer.
  • Handover was a closeout problem waiting to happen. I execute the Information Handover Plan from day one, so the asset transfers to the client as a structured dataset instead of a document dump.
  • I direct the PIM team to Saudi Aramco and TotalEnergies requirements — no side channels, no untracked revisions.

Rawabi Specialized Contracting Company

Dec 2019 – Oct 2023

Lead Document Controller / Document Control Manager · Saudi Arabia

  • Aramco requires a named, approved Lead Document Controller. I was approved by Saudi Aramco for both the Tanajib Airport Expansion and the SABGS E-Type Schools programs — the approval letters are published on this site.
  • Metadata quality was inconsistent across submissions. I administered Procore and Aconex as Project Administrator and enforced numbering, metadata and distribution rules at the point of submission, not after rejection.
  • Project Record Books and Quality Dossiers used to be assembled at the end under pressure. I built them progressively, so Aramco handover packs were complete when the project closed.

Al Zamil Metal Works Factory

Dec 2017 – Dec 2019

Senior Document Controller · Saudi Arabia

  • Revision control was informal across concurrent fabrication packages. I established revision, distribution and retention workflows used on major projects including Fadhili Gas and Rabigh II.
  • Documents and physical work drifted apart. I audited controlled documents against site conditions so the record matched what was actually built.

Crystal Inspection Services Co.

Aug 2016 – Jul 2017

Surveying Officer / Loss Adjuster · Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

  • Claims arrived as competing stories. I investigated loss sites, examined physical evidence and established what actually happened, in writing.
  • I negotiated settlements between claimants and insurers that both sides could accept — and defended them as expert witness testimony when challenged.
  • I advised insurers on the risk patterns behind repeat losses, not just the individual claim.

Anti Narcotics Force, Pakistan

Sep 2010 – Apr 2016

Anti Narcotics Intelligence Officer · Pakistan

  • Intelligence is worthless if it cannot survive scrutiny. I collected, verified and corroborated field intelligence through ground checks and surveillance.
  • I supported raids and undercover operations, including technical equipment handling.
  • I produced investigation reports that stood up in prosecution — where a weak chain of evidence loses the case.

Nasir Syndicate Pvt Ltd

Mar 2005 – Sep 2010

Surveying Officer / Loss Adjuster · Pakistan

  • I investigated incident sites and reviewed documentation to establish the facts and the true extent of damage.
  • I negotiated settlements between claimants and insurers and monitored compliance with agreed terms.
  • I prepared expert witness testimony and adjusting reports used to resolve disputes.

Where I’m heading

Owner-side information leadership on mega-programs

I am moving from contractor-side delivery into owner and PMC-side Information Management leadership — setting the data requirements at the start of a program rather than reconciling them at the end, and bringing AI-assisted validation into submission review so quality gates run continuously instead of at closeout.

If that is the seat you are filling, or you know the person filling it, I would like to be in that conversation.
