Sharing best practice through hands-on experience
Ragdah Alrowahi leads the Electrical Systems Workshop at Sanad, overseeing operations across multiple engine lines and manages a team dedicated to quality, efficiency and continuous improvement.
Since joining Rolls-Royce as part of her exchange in July, Ragdah has gained hands-on exposure across Engine Overhaul Services. She’s identified several cost- and time-saving strategies she intends to bring back to Sanad, ranging from the application of 3D printed parts that reduce reliance on external vendors to daily ways of working that help prioritisation and inspection processes.
“The knowledge and hands-on experience I gain, particularly from the experts at Rolls-Royce, will directly contribute to advancing Sanad’s MRO capabilities,” she explains. “I plan to adapt and refine certain systems to enhance both effectiveness and efficiency, aiming for more streamlined operations and better overall outcomes.”
Ragdah described the programme as “a great opportunity to enhance my skills and confidence” and emphasised that exposure to operational and leadership discussions, such as weekly meetings on strengths and opportunities, is invaluable to her professional development.
