Prior to joining Origin Fire in November 2020, Mohamed worked as a Project Engineer for a passive fire protection company. His extensive experience in passive fire protection and passive fire products in the construction industry led him to pursue a career in fire engineering. His master’s in Structural Engineering has provided a solid foundation in performance-based design and decision-making.

At Origin Fire, Mohamed works as a Fire Engineer, handling various projects including retail, hospital, commercial, and industrial builds. His responsibilities include construction monitoring, project management, and stakeholder management. He also performs tasks related to passive fire engineering.

Mohamed enjoys the strong team culture at Origin Fire and the opportunity to gain and share knowledge. He finds fire engineering challenging and appreciates the continuous learning it offers. One memorable project was Imperial Gardens at Hobson Street, which presented numerous learning opportunities, ultimately helping him become an expert in passive fire systems.

He values open communication and clear expectations with stakeholders to overcome challenges in design coordination and stakeholder management. A proud achievement was serving as the Health and Safety Officer for three years, where he provided a strong health and safety culture within the Origin team, especially over the lockdown periods of Covid 19.

Mohamed’s professional goals include becoming a chartered Fire Engineer and taking on more responsibilities at Origin to offer value beyond engineering. Outside of work, he enjoys outdoor activities like walking and playing soccer, as well as indoor hobbies such as cooking, watching anime, and spending quality time with his family.

“The collaborative team culture at Origin Fire and the continuous opportunities for learning and development make my role deeply rewarding.”
