Built by commissioning engineers, for commissioning engineers

FARAMED AS was founded in 2023 in Stavanger, Norway, by veterans of the world's most complex industrial projects. We exist to solve one problem: loop testing should not be on the critical path.

Mehdi Farhaoui

CEO & Founder, FARAMED AS

Mehdi is a graduate of ENSGSI (Ecole Nationale Superieure en Genie des Systemes Industriels) with a Master in Innovation and Complex Projects Management. Over 15 years, he built his career at the heart of the world's most demanding industrial projects.

From 2009 to 2013, he worked at Saipem in Paris as a Construction and Subcontracts Engineer, managing tender preparation, construction hours estimation, and subcontractor analysis for major EPC bids.

In 2013, he joined TechnipFMC where he spent a decade on landmark projects. On the YAMAL LNG project, he led piping construction methods across fabrication yards in the Philippines and China, managing subcontractor teams and ensuring erection sequence compliance. On Martin Linge, he served as TechnipFMC Representative in Norway, coordinating three sites across Norway, France, and Korea, before taking on the role of Offshore Mechanical Completion Lead for Equinor.

Most recently, he served as Deputy Mechanical Completion Lead on the Jotun Balder Future project for Var Energi. In 2023, he founded FARAMED AS to bring the commissioning discipline into the modern era with mobile, digital, and protocol-agnostic solutions.
