MECHANICAL ENGINEER (MEng) · KEY ACCOUNTS PROJECT COORDINATOR

Hi, I'm Usman Saleem.
Turning Field Complexity into Engineering Precision

Mechanical Engineer (MEng, University of Ottawa · B.Sc., UET Lahore) combining industrial plant-floor commissioning and commercial entrance estimating with custom workflow software that turns hours of manual portal digging into seconds.

At ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems in Mississauga, I coordinate up to 40 concurrent commercial entrance modernization and replacement projects across Canada's largest national retail accounts—from technician take-off review (OFW/ROW/ROH), architectural drawings, and quote preparation to site readiness, Change Orders, and invoicing.

Real Systems & Projects I've Built

Production estimating software, national fleet analytics, 3D architectural visualization, and industrial plant commissioning.

FACILITY AUDIT & ESTIMATING ENGINE 3 HRS → < 15 SECONDS

ASSA ABLOY Installation & Facility Insight Collector (Core & Estimator Editions)

Multi-threaded 6-worker desktop platform built to replace 3-hour manual service portal crawls for 15-door retail stores. Disentangles aggregated ERP invoice ledgers, separates 1-series emergency calls from 7-series Planned Maintenance, extracts #0–#3 door condition ratings and take-off dimensions from technician notes, calculates replacement ROI, and drafts review-ready Outlook proposals and PDFs.

3D ARCHITECTURAL VISUALIZATION 13 SUB-ASSEMBLIES · 60 FPS

ASSA ABLOY SL500 3D Component & Modular Retrofit Explorer

Interactive Three.js & WebGL visualization of the Besam SL500 commercial sliding door system, anchored to installation manual 1009203-en-10.0. Built so retail directors, estimators, and facility managers can inspect all 13 internal header sub-assemblies in exploded cutaway view and see how a modular operator retrofit kit ($4.5k–$9.5k) fits inside existing framing without a $15k+ full tear-out.

NATIONAL KEY ACCOUNTS · 16+ FLEETS 8-SLIDE QBR IN ~7 SECONDS

Take-Off Replacement Lead Assistant & Asset Intelligence QBR Platform

End-to-end estimating and fleet lifecycle suite deployed across 16+ national accounts (Loblaw, Shoppers Drug Mart, Costco, Home Depot, Sobeys, Staples, BGIS/BMO). Automates replacement lead packages across SSRS, MS Forms surveys, and FSP photo archives in 20–30s, and compiles executive PowerPoint QBR decks, 8-tab Excel workbooks, and <30-day repeat callback analytics.

INDUSTRIAL PLANT COMMISSIONING ~60 TECHNICIANS COORDINATED

Bühler Group Flour-Milling & Pasta Plant Installation (Ismail Industries)

Supported mechanical and electrical installation, erection, and commissioning of a complete multi-line industrial food-processing plant in Karachi. Coordinated approximately 60 workers and technicians on site, inspecting completed work against engineering drawings and PFDs, performing precision machinery leveling and root-cause troubleshooting, and contributing to a vertically integrated Food Park concept.

From Plant-Floor Commissioning to National Key Accounts & Custom Automation

I am a Mechanical Engineer (MEng) and Key Accounts Project Coordinator based in Mississauga, Ontario. My work sits right where physical engineering meets practical digital execution—reading architectural drawings, reviewing technician field take-offs (OFW, ROW, ROH), configuring commercial entrance packages, and building custom software tools that eliminate hours of repetitive administrative work.

At ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems, I coordinate up to 40 concurrent modernization and replacement projects across major national accounts including Loblaw Companies, Shoppers Drug Mart, Costco Wholesale, The Home Depot, Staples, Sobeys, and BGIS/BMO. From specifying Besam SL500/SW200 operators, modular retrofit kits, and 14ft structural transoms to enforcing site readiness checklists, executing Change Orders, and running CAPEX/Planned Maintenance lifecycle studies (#0–#3 door condition ratings), I manage the full project path from quote to invoice.

Before ASSA ABLOY, I trained on the plant floor with Bühler Group—coordinating ~60 technicians during the installation and commissioning of a complete flour-milling and pasta plant for Ismail Industries—worked in machinery reliability at Style Textile, led a 15-person high-volume campus team as an Assistant Manager at Starbucks while in Ottawa, and completed my MEng in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Ottawa (with A+/A grades in Engineering Design, Manufacturing System Analysis, Finite Element Analysis, Surfaces & Coatings, and 3D Machine Vision) after earning my B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from UET Lahore.
