Osama Akbar

I’m passionate about bridging gaps between technical solutions and real-world impact. With a background in Industrial Systems Engineering, I have built experience across the utilities and asset management sectors.

So far, my journey has included:

• Engineering & Project Management: Contributed to large-scale infrastructure and optimization projects by streamlining operations, improving compliance, and enhancing safety.
• Sales & Customer Service: Helped people connect with the services they needed, whether through technology solutions or face-to-face interactions.
• Process Improvement: Skilled at identifying opportunities to make workflows more efficient, from implementing digital tools to training teams.

Beyond work, I’m driven by a curiosity to learn, a commitment to doing things right, and a belief that innovation should be practical and accessible. I enjoy collaborating with people who are proactive, creative, and ready to run with ideas.

I am an Industrial Systems Engineer with hands-on experience delivering operational improvements and technology solutions in the utilities and higher education sectors.

During my co-op terms at SaskPower, I supported major grid optimization and transmission line projects. I streamlined control room processes, enhanced compliance with project methodologies, and developed training resources to improve team performance and knowledge transfer.

At the University of Regina, I contributed to facilities management initiatives by planning and implementing digital tools to modernize workflows, improve safety documentation, and support process improvements across campus operations.

Complementing my technical background, I have experience in customer service and sales, which has strengthened my ability to communicate effectively and understand client needs. I am passionate about continuous learning, practical innovation, and making systems work better for people.
