Engineering Intern, Dragline Electrical Maintenance
OCP GroupBenguérir (Gantour Mining Site)
Jun 2026 — Aug 2026
  • Conducted comprehensive energy consumption analysis of 7500M² dragline equipment, establishing baseline consumption of 546.7 MWh over six months (141.6 kW average operating power)
  • Engineered and optimized a power factor correction solution targeting cos φ improvement from 0.80 to 0.95 with ~60 kVAr compensation, including synchronous motor excitation design
  • Integrated and validated a 723 kWp Solar PV system for mining operations using PVsyst, demonstrating 5.6-year payback period and significant operational cost reduction
Research Experience, Building Energy Efficiency – Thermal Performance of Sustainable Materials
Al Akhawayn UniversityIfrane
Jun 2025 — Aug 2025
  • Objective: Quantify how integrating recycled waste materials (aluminium, paper) into unfired clay bricks could redefine thermal performance benchmarks for sustainable construction in Morocco.
  • Methodology: Conducted TRNSYS simulations across variable additive concentrations (0%, 5%, 10%, 20% by mass), analysing thermal lag, attenuation factor, and heating/cooling loads using Meteonorm climate data for local conditions.
