Muhammad Haroon
About Candidate
Results-driven Mechanical Engineer, QA/QC Engineer, and Inspection Engineer (ISO 9001:2015 Lead Auditor) with a
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and 5+ years of experience in mechanical, piping, and steel-structure
engineering, inspection, and quality assurance across major industrial and marine projects in Saudi Arabia, largely on
Saudi Aramco assets including Berri Onshore Flow Lines, Tarut Bay pipeline trestles, SAMREF Fender Replacement,
and Saudi Aramco JNGLF Structural Integrity Assessment. Skilled in mechanical and piping systems inspection,
engineering drawing and specification review, inspection and test plan (ITP) development, welding inspection, nondestructive
testing (NDT), coatings inspection, material verification against MTCs, and non-conformance/root cause
analysis, with hands-on experience overseeing QA/QC documentation across 5+ concurrent work fronts and
coordinating multidisciplinary teams of 50+ personnel to ensure full compliance with ASME, API, and AWS codes,
client specifications, and Aramco safety standards. Also experienced in underwater diving document review,
vendor/third-party inspection coordination, and site quality management, with a track record of delivering projects on
time, within budget, and to the highest quality standard. Led QA/QC on tie-in and shutdown activities across 5+
projects with zero major NCRs at handover, reduced non-conformance recurrence by 90% through root cause analysis
and corrective action tracking, and managed inspection documentation (ITPs, MIRs, WIRs, material submittals) for
projects valued at $50M. Thrives in fast-paced, brownfield environments that demand technical rigor, engineering
judgment, and teamwork.
