Ahmed Khalawy احمد خلوي — Senior QA/QC Engineer, based in Riyadh.

My engineering experience spans 8+ years since graduating in May 2018, including freelance mechanical engineering, with quality roles since 2020. I connect quality-system design with what teams inspect, measure, record and improve every day, bringing manufacturing depth, construction-governance experience and practical digital reporting.

A few useful answers

Quality engineering, in context.

What quality engineering work do you do?

I work across quality assurance (QA), quality control (QC) and quality management in manufacturing and construction. My work includes inspection planning, calibration and measurement-system analysis, SPC, 8D/CAPA, controlled documentation, QMS/ITP coordination and Power BI reporting. El Araby provided factory depth and progression from Quality Control to Assistant Manager; Eibla added electrical and mechanical manufacturing leadership; Yuksel Saudia provides the current construction-governance context.

Which roles and locations are you considering?

I am open to senior quality engineering and quality management opportunities, including Quality Manager or QA/QC Manager roles that combine systems, inspection and team leadership. My current title remains Senior QA/QC Engineer. I am based in Riyadh and open to relocation to Dammam or Jeddah, with a 60-day notice period.

What is your ISO 9001 auditor qualification?

I passed the exam for SGS ISO 9001:2015 Auditor / Lead Auditor training in January 2026, through a CQI/IRCA-certified course. This is auditor training completion, distinct from professional auditor registration. My practical quality-system work includes controlled documentation, audit readiness and corrective-action methods.
