Background

About Abdullah Abufara

A bit about me: Proven expertise delivering process engineering support to engineers in troubleshooting plant performance issues. Skilled in analyzing, optimizing, and improving processes and eliminating non-value-added activities while following health, safety and environmental policies. In depth knowledge in chemical process design, especially in the petroleum refining sector and renewable transportation fuel. Ability to create process engineering studies to address plant bottleneck, mitigate risk, and improve performance. I embrace: 1- Environments where my views are listened to and valued. 2- An open culture where discussion and feedback are encouraged. 3- A culture where personal achievement and success is celebrated. 4- A role where I can make consistent progress on projects, and where I can have influence. 5- New challenges that require unique and creative solutions. 6- Open, “clean slate” situations where every day is different and exciting. I am challenged by: 1- Workplaces where individual success is subordinated to groups. 2- Work cultures with significant hurdles/decision points that impede progress or prioritize certainty over speed. 3- Environments that do not value the expertise and experience I’ve accumulated. 4- Working with people who don’t reciprocate interest, appreciation, support, or acceptance. 5-Endless routine or systematic tasks that require little experimentation or exploration. 6-Work environments that are solely focused on productivity and don’t leave space for having fun.
