Lead Process​/Project Engineering EGS

Overview

Bechtel is launching its newest Energy office in Al-Khobar, Saudi Arabia, aiming to be an epicenter of innovation and engineering excellence in the region. You will collaborate with global experts to deliver transformative oil, gas, chemical and New Energies projects that support Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and shape the future of sustainable energy. Be part of a bold new chapter in Bechtel’s 80-year journey in the Kingdom, building a high-performance team from the ground up with access to world-class tools, mentorship, and global execution networks.

Career opportunity available to self-motivated, high performing Lead Process Engineer with a proven track record seeking technical/leadership challenges in the process design of a wide range of technologies. The engineer would be required to utilize their significant knowledge in all areas of design from conceptual studies to detailed engineering. The engineer should have a proven track record and will be recognized for their understanding of the key process concepts as well as having previous experience leading a team of process engineers.

The candidate will be familiar with standard process deliverables such as design basis, H&MB, PFDs, process descriptions, P&IDs etc. and would be comfortable both originating as well as approving these documents.

• Determines engineering scope and set up an engineering work plan for the process engineering discipline on complex projects for Pre-FEEDs, FEEDs and detail design phases.
• Executes process engineering deliverables according to a set engineering design criteria utilizing Bechtel’s approved engineering procedures, practices, and standards.
• Leads engineering teams – has engineering direct reports and organizes the team’s work and deliverables to meet project goals, coaches and mentors the direct reports on the team, conducts performance reviews and holds career development discussions.
• Takes the initiative to coordinate the detailed design development of a system with other engineering disciplines while managing workload and meeting schedule due dates.
• Manages teams of process engineers and be responsible for the delivery of project deliverables (PFDs/UFDs, HMB, equipment sizing, selection and specification, PSVs and flare system sizing and specification, etc.) within the agreed job hour budgets and schedules.
• Manages and leads complex technical discussions with third parties (customer, licensors, suppliers and regulators) in order to facilitate appropriate technical decisions.
• Identifies issues (problems, value improvement opportunities) and helps clarify areas of complexity during all phases of the engineering design work.
• Scope baselining, identifying changes from contracts and carrying out change management procedures as per project’s and Bechtel’s procedures.
• Developing and/or checking overall plant and unit simulations using standard process simulation programs (HYSYS, Pro/II, Uni Sim, Pro Max), including development of H&MBs.
• Developing and/or checking Process Flow Diagram (PFDs) and Utility Flow Diagrams (UFDs), and explaining selected flow configurations.
• Developing and checking calculation of equipment sizes including vessels, columns, heat exchanger requirements, and packaged equipment specifications.
• Attending and input at major reviews such as PFD/P&, HAZOPs, and 3D model reviews. Representing the process engineering discipline and explaining process design questions to clients and other disciplines.
• Development of relief load narratives, relief load calculations, load summaries and relief valve datasheets.
• Development of offsites and utility design including consumptions and the overall utility summary.
• Development of alarm and trip setpoints and process safety time calculations.

• A recognized master’s degree in chemical engineering from an accredited college or university with a professional license in an appropriate engineering discipline from a recognized licensing board.
• At least 15 years of experience in the Energy Transition, Petrochemical and/or Oil and Gas industry.
