East Delta — Construction & Engineering | Saudi Arabia · Jan 2020 – Dec 2025
Human Resources Business Partner (HRBP) Mar 2024 – Dec 2025
Compensation Architecture & HRIS
- Designed and implemented a complete salary structure independently, fully aligned to SAP SuccessFactors, replacing a
legacy 20-rank system with a simplified grade-based model that secured internal equity, payroll governance, and long-term
scalability.
- Established and launched the SAP HR platform from scratch in partnership with CIC — covering system configuration, full
employee data migration and validation, and resolution of every technical and administrative finding through to stable
operation.
- Directed the full implementation, customization, and continuous enhancement of SAP SuccessFactors, safeguarding data
integrity, automating HR processes, and supporting users across all departments.
- Built and maintained the company's complete organizational structure from the ground up — all divisions, departments, and
job titles — and secured its formal approval on SAP as the organization's single source of truth.
- Delivered advanced workforce analytics and executive dashboards in Power BI and advanced Excel, enabling data-driven
decisions on headcount, productivity, and cost control.
HR System Audit & Internal Controls
- Led a focused audit of the SAP environment that surfaced structural defects and operational violations across organizational
data, job classification, attendance, and payroll.
- Corrected structural errors including duplicated naming across Department, Division, and Business Unit fields, and revised
inaccurate job titles to reflect actual scope of authority.
- Resolved a leave-authorization defect that prevented managers from submitting requests, traced to official working hours
not being configured in the system.
- Conducted a full job-classification audit, identifying employees assigned to incorrect departments or employment categories
— for example, reception staff classified under Security or Remote.
- Exposed attendance irregularities and manipulation, including permissions approved outside the HR route by PMO without
attendance verification, and recurring daily permissions granted with no deduction or documented justification, all escalated
formally for review.
- Detected unauthorized system privileges granted to employees for approving permissions and leave, and blocked external
interference after discovering that administrative rights had been assigned to the Chief Accountant by Finance without HR's
knowledge.
- Identified payroll violations in which full salaries were released despite absence or repeated lateness without deduction,
resulting from unjustified interventions by Finance.
- Analyzed Finance department overtime records and flagged inflated claims reaching the value of full monthly salaries.
- Uncovered system-consultant misconduct involving leave granted without formal approval and privilege changes made
without reference to the responsible department.
- Audited government-relations data and identified employees still flagged as Active despite no longer being present or having
had sponsorship transferred — a recurring weekly gap traced to Attendance, Government Relations, and PMO.
Medical Insurance — Full Ownership (from Aug 2025)
- Conducted a comprehensive review of all insurance data, exposing manipulation and systemic errors that were charging the
company for ineligible members.
- Identified resigned employees carried into the new policy — including 46 resignations dating back to 2024 — and formally
escalated them to the brokerage for removal.
- Corrected tier misalignments where employees had been enrolled in categories above their job level.
- Detected duplicate coverage for employees and dependents registered under multiple Iqama numbers or repeated
dependent entries, and had the records officially deleted and corrected.
- Reconciled resignations by year and month against the policy, revealing more than 110 cases of delayed deletion.
- Rebuilt the entire medical insurance database through a new, fully detailed master register.
- Identified 22 members unrecognized in the system or by the Council of Health Insurance and coordinated their termination
and permanent exclusion.
- Audited refund submissions after finding erroneous schedules containing employees never flagged for removal, and
corrected them with the broker against formal evidence.
- Escalated formally to the broker with binding deadlines for deletion and refund after delays in processing more than 277
employee records despite complete documentation.
- Instituted a recurring monthly audit reconciling every addition, deletion, and refund before financial approval, materially
reducing exposure to duplicate coverage.
- Result: ineligible amounts frozen and a substantial share already recovered, with total savings projected to exceed SAR 1
million once all formally raised cases are settled.
Telecom & Corporate Line Governance
- Completed a full inventory of 437 corporate SIM lines (426 active, 11 suspended or disconnected).
- Identified 13 employees holding multiple lines — with individual cases reaching 9, 6, and 5 lines — supported by a detailed
register of ID numbers and line counts per user.
- Flagged the absence of a governing issuance policy and delivered a comprehensive policy update recommendation.
- Isolated 89 lines still active for resigned employees at SAR 4,800 per month, within a total monthly rental of SAR 36,243.
- Result: proposed a restructure suspending all lines and reinstating them only for roles with genuine operational need — a
monthly saving of SAR 36,243 at full implementation.
Catering Manager Mar 2024 – May 2025
- Redesigned catering policy and restricted meal distribution to eligible workers only, reducing monthly expenditure by SAR
15,000–18,000.
- Introduced an absence-documentation system that removed unearned meals, cutting waste and improving spend efficiency.
- Redesigned the meal plan — including converting Suhoor provisioning to breakfast — delivering a direct saving of SAR
216,800.
- Strengthened supplier contracts through an addendum imposing an explicit penalty clause voiding an entire site's meals
where foreign objects or insects were found in food.
- Raised meal quality and variety through worker satisfaction surveys and continuous coordination with the catering
contractor to serve a multinational workforce.
- Ran weekly field visits to project sites and accommodations and operated a complaint channel by email and WhatsApp with
immediate resolution follow-up.
- Produced daily, weekly, and monthly catering cost reports per project and per worker, analyzing them to surface further
cost reduction opportunities.
- Prepared the daily meals sheet from PMO data, reviewed it prior to release, and reconciled monthly invoices against it
before SAP entry.
- Result: documented catering savings exceeding SAR 1.2 million through improved governance, waste reduction, and meal
redesign.
