Process Engineering

Our Client operates in the Oil and Energy industry, with its headquarters rooted strongly in Saudi Arabia. It has its branches spread to more than 50 countries, providing employment to more than 68,500 people all over the world. They fall under the Fortune 500 Companies. They are one of the world’s largest oil producers. They are constantly growing by creating new technologies through its Research and Development efforts and branch into new business lines through Investments and Acquisitions.

Responsibilities:

• Handle process activities such as studies and design modifications in the operating facilities
• Develop simulation models for assigned operation facilities
• Develop, review and/or validate plant mass balances
• Check plant performance to ensure it is running up to its design
• Look for opportunities to optimize operations and implement them accordingly.
• Use the software simulation programs such as HYSYS and promax.
• Provide technical direction/support to in-Kingdom and out-of-Kingdom design contractors
• Formulate and implement long-term strategies to improve operations and reduce costs
• Lead groups of engineers in the shutdown and start-up phase of existing plants.
• Participate in standards reviews to assure inclusion of requirements that are of practical benefit to field operation and maintenance in regard to safety and efficiency of the plant.
