FTTH National Rollout — PMO Controls Transformation

Challenge

Disconnected subcontractor reporting across dozens of simultaneous FTTH rollout sites in KSA. Unstructured data flows, manual verification bottlenecks, and reporting latency causing executive blindspots on a national-scale programme.

Engineered Solution

Designed and built a custom ERP system (MS Access VBA + SQL) as a centralized Single Source of Truth. Automated contractor progress tracking, integrated KPI dashboards, and deployed containerized automation pipelines (n8n + Docker) to synchronize data across all workstreams.

Measured Impact

Eliminated manual verification hours across the programme. Accelerated executive reporting cycles from days to hours. ERP tool adopted programme-wide — estimated 60% reduction in reporting effort. Retained by STC/Norconsult for 10 continuous years.

Egypt · ACUD · 3 Years

Olympic Games City — Smart Infrastructure Delivery

Challenge

Complex multi-system ELV, BMS, CCTV, Fire Alarm and FTTH integration on a national prestige project with a non-negotiable government deadline — Egypt's International Olympic Games City in the New Administrative Capital.

Engineered Solution

Led full-lifecycle delivery as Lead Consultant PM. Managed multi-disciplinary engineering teams, client interface with ACUD, procurement, QA/QC, and integrated master schedule across all concurrent workstreams simultaneously.

Measured Impact

Both flagship projects — Olympic Games City ELV/FTTH and New Administrative Capital Fiber Network — delivered on schedule against high-profile national deadlines. Zero deadline breach on a nationally televised prestige project.
