Senior Mechanical Engineer

Personal summary

Azhar is an Asset Integrity and Reliability Engineer with a strong record of delivering structured, audit‑ready asset management solutions across oil & gas, utilities, and manufacturing environments. His expertise spans asset lifecycle management, database normalization, audit reconciliation, and technical documentation — all grounded in a mechanical engineering foundation and strengthened by postgraduate training in Advanced Manufacturing Technology. His advanced manufacturing background gives him a systems‑level understanding of production processes, automation, quality control, and engineering optimization. This training has shaped his ability to analyze complex technical environments, interpret equipment behavior, and design data structures that accurately reflect real‑world asset performance. It also underpins his disciplined approach to standardization, process improvement, and engineering documentation. Azhar specializes in transforming disorganized or legacy asset data into clean, standardized, and operationally useful systems. His work consistently improves regulatory compliance, maintenance planning, and cross‑functional decision‑making. He has led large‑scale asset identification, tagging, BOM creation, and CMMS/ERP integrations across platforms such as Meridium, SAP, Maximo, and Infor. His career includes delivering high‑impact programs for organizations such as Azcon Technical Services, Wood Canada, Bureau Veritas, Applus Velosi, and major international operators including Saudi Aramco joint operations and Hess North Dakota. He has executed field audit campaigns, reconciled discrepancies between physical assets and digital records, and produced audit‑ready reports that strengthened governance and operational reliability. Azhar’s early engineering experience with Ford Canada and Chrysler further shaped his technical discipline. At Ford, he contributed to production line modifications, shot‑blast cleaning operations, and certification upgrades. At Chrysler, he supported defect‑to‑launch programs and later served as a Paint Automation Specialist, working within highly automated, precision‑driven manufacturing environments. These roles reinforced his ability to work within structured, safety‑critical, and high‑throughput operations. He brings a methodical, evidence‑based work style and excels in environments where accuracy, structure, and cross‑functional collaboration are essential. His long‑term focus remains on delivering measurable improvements in asset integrity, compliance, and operational performance across regulated industrial sectors.
