Al-Mushaiti received a bachelor’s degree in electronic engineering from King Saud University in 1997. Nine years later, he completed his master’s degree in the same field.

From 1997 to 2005, he was appointed to the project execution department of the Saudi Electricity Co. Al-Mushaiti has also been a member of various organizations, such as the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization and the Electricity & Cogeneration Regulatory Authority, where he was the director general of economic and tariff affairs from 2005 to 2015.

From December 2015, he was the undersecretary for planning and development at what was then called the Ministry of Water and Electricity, before taking on the same role at the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture (MEWA) for one year, beginning in April 2016.

Additionally, he has been a member of both the supervisory committee of the King Abdullah Initiative for Solar Water Desalination, and the administrative committee of the Saudi National Energy Efficiency Program. Al-Mushaiti has greatly contributed to developing MEWA’s vision and strategic objectives. He also helped in restructuring the ministry in line with these objectives.

He has recently held a virtual meeting with the ministry’s branch directors across the country to follow up on projects, and to ensure these branches are effectively providing their beneficiaries with the best possible services.
