  • Collaborate with Global Manufacturing facilities engineers to identify and implement cost optimization and process improvement initiatives, focusing on "low-hanging fruits" that require minimal capital investment.
  • Conduct internal assessments of SRU & SWS process engineering standards, ensuring alignment with Saudi Aramco engineering standards and supporting their implementation across Global Manufacturing facilities.
  • Participate in Business Plan development, coordinating with stakeholders on capital investments for SRU & SWS units and supporting techno-economic evaluations.
  • Evaluate and recommend new SRU & SWS technologies, coordinating with relevant departments for assessment and piloting support.
  • Actively participate in external benchmarking activities with industry bodies such as Japan Cooperation Council Petroleum (JCCP) and Gulf Downstream Association (GDA).
  • Lead and participate in SRU & SWS hazard operability (HAZOP) and safety integrity level (SIL) studies as required by operating facilities.
  • Investigate incidents related to SRU & SWS process technologies, providing expert analysis and recommendations.
  • Act as the primary coordinator for SRU & SWS data requests from Global Manufacturing Affiliate Affairs for Saudi Aramco wholly-owned facilities.
  • Demonstrate a commitment to continuous learning, staying updated on the latest SRU & SWS technologies and industry best practices. Provide in-house technical training to Global Manufacturing facilities as needed.

Minimum Requirements

As a successful candidate you will hold a:

  • Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering or related specialization. An advanced degree is preferred.
  • A minimum of 15 years of total refinery or gas plants process units experience, with at least 10 years of hands-on experience in handling SRUs SWS plants.
