System Requirements Document
1. Introduction
This System Requirements Document defines the requirements for the production of an ATS-compatible professional CV package for Mohamed Mohsen Ali, a Civil Engineer and Project Manager with 8+ years of experience across Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
The document set must serve two purposes simultaneously:
- Machine readability — the CV must survive automated Applicant Tracking System (ATS) parsing and keyword screening.
- Human readability — the CV must present verifiable career depth across construction management, project management, tendering, cost estimation, and quantity surveying to recruiters and hiring managers.
The deliverable is a static document product, not a software application. It consists of an editable Word source and a searchable-text PDF derivative, both carrying identical content. All requirements in this SRD are derived exclusively from the uploaded CV source document and the explicit user instructions issued for this revision.
Target positions covered by this CV: Project Manager, Construction Manager, Civil Project Engineer, Estimation Engineer, Quantity Surveyor, and Technical Office Engineer.

2. System Overview
The product is an ATS-first, single-column professional CV document set for a civil engineering and construction management candidate operating in the Saudi Arabian and Egyptian markets.
Delivery shape: static document artifact.
| Artifact | Purpose |
|---|
Editable Word file (.docx) | Master source of truth; retained for future revisions |
Searchable-text PDF, filename Mohamed_Mohsen_Ali_Project_Manager_CV.pdf | Primary submission artifact for ATS uploads and direct recruiter distribution |
The document contains no embedded images, no tables, no multi-column regions, no text boxes, no icons, and no data-bearing headers or footers. Structure is expressed purely through standard section headings and typographic hierarchy, so that both ATS parsers and human readers traverse the same linear top-to-bottom content order.
All content is grounded in the candidate's documented employment history, project portfolio, education, skills, and platforms. No functionality beyond document production, content structuring, and export is in scope.

6. Visuals, Colors and Theme
The document is a print- and screen-read professional CV; visual treatment is deliberately restrained to preserve ATS integrity.
- Background: plain white.
- Body text: solid black or near-black (e.g., #1A1A1A) for maximum contrast and clean printing.
- Hierarchy accents: a single restrained accent tone — dark navy or graphite (e.g., #1F3B57) — reserved for the candidate name and section headings only. No additional accent colors.
- No color fills, color blocks, shading, or highlight backgrounds behind text; the single-column structure carries all organization.
- No images, icons, logos, charts, or decorative graphics of any kind.
- No borders, boxes, or table lines. If any separation is used, it is limited to a single thin horizontal rule beneath section headings.
- Typography: Arial or Calibri throughout, body 10.5–11 pt; name set noticeably larger and in bold; section headings bold and consistent in size; role titles bold with employer and dates on a consistent line.
- Spacing: comfortable leading and clear space before each section heading to aid human scanning without widening the layout.
- Contact line: contact information is written as a single plain-text line separated by vertical bars — Dammam, Saudi Arabia | 0510873787 | 0539897274 | Mohamed.alhelawany@gmail.com | LinkedIn | Saudi Council of Engineers — in plain text with no icons and no header or footer placement.
- Section order: the eight standard sections appear in fixed order: Professional Summary, Core Competencies, Professional Experience, Selected Projects, Education, Technical Skills, Certifications, Languages.
7. Signature Design Concept
"Single-Column Evidence Hierarchy."
The CV's signature is that it makes no visual argument at all — it makes a structural one. Everything the reader or parser needs is expressed through one continuous vertical stream of standard headings and dense, action-verb-led content.
- One column, zero containers. No tables, no columns, no sidebars, no text boxes. Content order equals reading order equals parsing order.
- Heading-anchored navigation. Each of the eight standard headings is a hard structural marker; the document is navigable by heading alone in Word and fully detected by ATS.
- Typographic hierarchy only. Name > section headings > job titles > body text — achieved solely through size, weight, and capitalization, never through color fills, rules, or graphics.
- Data in the text layer. Contact details, dates, employers, and titles live in body text, never in headers, footers, or images — so nothing that matters can be stripped during extraction.
- Density as credibility. Bullets open with strong verbs and carry real numbers, making the page read as a record of delivered work rather than a list of duties.

8. Interaction Model & Motion Direction
The artifact is a static document; there is no interactive UI and no motion design. The interaction model governs how the document behaves in readers, editors, and parsers.
- Linear top-to-bottom traversal. No interactive elements, expandable regions, or hidden content. Every section is fully visible in the document body.
- Word navigation pane support. Standard headings must register as document headings so readers can jump between sections.
- Text selection and copy parity. All content — including contact details and dates — must be selectable and copyable as text.
- Searchability. The exported PDF must support text search for employers, titles, skills, and platform names.
- Editability. The Word source must allow insertion, deletion, and reordering of bullets and roles without breaking structure or styling.
- Print behaviour. The document must paginate cleanly in a single column with no content split mid-field between pages where avoidable.
- Motion direction: none — no animation, transitions, or dynamic effects are in scope. The only "movement" is the reader's downward scan.

9. Non-Functional Requirements
NFR-001 — ATS Parse Fidelity. Parsing the PDF and Word artifacts must yield correct employer names, job titles, date ranges, contact details, and section headings with no field fragmentation.
NFR-002 — Searchable Text Layer. The PDF must contain a genuine extractable text layer; image-only or rasterized output is not acceptable.
NFR-003 — Layout Integrity. Single-column layout must be preserved across Word, PDF, and print renderings, with no reflow into columns or table-like structures.
NFR-004 — Font Availability. Arial or Calibri must be applied consistently at 10.5–11 pt for body text, with fonts embedded or system-standard so rendering never changes.
NFR-005 — Artifact Naming. PDF filename must be exactly Mohamed_Mohsen_Ali_Project_Manager_CV.pdf.
NFR-006 — Content Parity. Word and PDF versions must be content-identical at the time of delivery.
NFR-007 — No Placeholder Content. The delivered document must contain no unresolved placeholders, bracketed prompts, or draft markers.
NFR-008 — Accuracy and Non-Fabrication. All employers, dates, roles, projects, grades, and quantitative figures must reflect verifiable facts; no figures may be invented.
NFR-009 — Date Consistency. Every date range must follow one consistent written form, using Present for current roles.
NFR-010 — Naming Consistency. Employer names must be written identically at every occurrence in the document.
NFR-011 — Readability. Body text must remain legible at the specified size with adequate spacing and contrast.
NFR-012 — Print Compatibility. The document must paginate cleanly on standard A4 paper without clipping, overflow, or orphaned headings.
NFR-013 — File Portability. Artifacts must open and render correctly in current versions of Microsoft Word and standard PDF readers.
NFR-014 — Keyword Density Balance. Target-role keywords must appear naturally within real experience content, without keyword stuffing that harms human readability.
NFR-015 — Length Discipline. Content must remain concise and relevance-weighted, prioritizing recent and role-relevant experience over exhaustive enumeration.
NFR-016 — Compliance with Structural Constraints. No images, icons, tables, columns, symbols, or data-bearing headers and footers may be introduced at any later revision stage.
NFR-017 — Heading Registration. The eight standard headings must register as document headings in Word so the navigation pane can jump between sections.
NFR-018 — Text Selection and Copy Parity. All content — including contact details and dates — must be selectable and copyable as text in both artifacts.
NFR-019 — Editability. The Word source must allow insertion, deletion, and reordering of bullets and roles without breaking structure or styling.

10. Tech Stack
The accepted delivery shape is a static document product. Only the following layers are required.
Document Authoring Layer
- Microsoft Word (
.docx) — master editable source.
Typography Layer
- Arial or Calibri, body text 10.5–11 pt.
Export Layer
- Searchable-text PDF export from the Word source.
- Output filename:
Mohamed_Mohsen_Ali_Project_Manager_CV.pdf.
Content-Referenced Tools (subject matter of the CV, not production tooling)

- Microsoft Word
- Microsoft PowerPoint
- Etimad Platform
- Forsa Platform
Explicitly Out of Scope
- No web frontend, no backend services, no database, no authentication or identity layer, no admin console, and no integrations. None of these are required by a static document deliverable, and none are introduced to fill a section.
- No role-based access control, permissions, or differentiated authorization. The product is a static document set with no authentication or identity layer, and all personas read the same document content.
