Ahmed Saeed Ali Al-Hadabi graduated in 2007 with an Advanced Diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering. A year later, he began his professional journey with determination and ambition, stepping into the field ready to turn his technical training into real-world impact.

From Engineer to Branch Manager

In 2008, he joined a consulting office as an Electrical Engineer, where his dedication and hard work quickly distinguished him. Within four years, he was promoted to Branch Manager — a milestone that reflected his leadership capabilities and steady professional growth.

Building Pluto Engineering Consultancy

In 2014, he embarked on a new chapter by establishing his own firm, Pluto Engineering Consultancy. Two years later, he made the bold decision to fully dedicate himself to managing his business, resigning from his previous position to pursue entrepreneurship with confidence and vision.

Since then, he has served as Executive Director, successfully securing government contracts from prestigious entities including the Ministry of Housing, Sohar Municipality, Nama Electricity, Regional Municipalities and Water Resources, Port of Sohar, and Sohar Aluminium, among others. The firm specializes in geographical and electrical surveys, electrical proposal preparation, and a range of engineering consultancy projects, supported by a team of eight professionals from architectural, civil engineering, and interior design disciplines, all working collaboratively with professionalism and excellence.

Expanding Technical Expertise

In 2019, Ahmed joined Nama Electricity Distribution as a Network Security Engineer, adding a strong technical dimension to his professional expertise and broadening his impact beyond his own firm.

Venturing into Specialty Coffee

His ambitions extended beyond engineering. In 2023, he ventured into the specialty coffee industry by launching his first brand, District 7 (D7), near Sohar University. The brand quickly gained popularity, encouraging him to open a second branch in 2024 at Sohar City Centre.

Looking Ahead

Today, Ahmed continues his journey with renewed ambition, striving to expand into diverse fields and achieve even greater success — a testament to how technical excellence and entrepreneurial vision can grow hand in hand.
