Learn English – use “who when” together

grammar

For example:
I hope there is at least 1 person who when (s/he) sees the quality of final outcome, s/he will be delighted…

is this possible and if not what could be the appropriate structure that allows such use of "who when" together?

thank you

I guess it might be possible this way:

I hope there is at least one person who, when she sees the quality of the final outcome, will be delighted.

I doubt that you can use "who when" in this sentence without a comma.

When you set off a clause or a phrase by two commas like this, it's called "parenthesis". You can also use round brackets or dashes.

I hope there is at least one person who - when she sees the quality of the final outcome - will be delighted.

Compare:

O blinding hour, O holy, terrible day,
When first the shaft into his vision shone
Of light anatomized! Euclid alone
Has looked on Beauty bare. Fortunate they
Who, though once only and then but far away,
Have heard her massive sandal set on stone.
