Lead Process Flow Assurance Engineer – Onshore / Single Phase / Synergi Pipeline Simulator (Saudi Arabia – Aramco Projects)

The Lead Process Flow Assurance Engineer will manage and execute all flow assurance and hydraulic engineering activities for onshore oil & gas facilities, gathering systems, and pipeline networks in Saudi Arabia. The role requires deep expertise in single‑phase flow modeling, a minimum of 5 years of hands‑on experience with Synergi Pipeline Simulator (SPS), and 15+ years of total experience in the oil & gas industry.

Prior experience delivering Saudi Aramco onshore projects is mandatory.

Flow Assurance Engineering (Onshore)

• Lead single‑phase flow assurance studies for onshore pipelines, trunklines, flowlines, and gathering networks.
• Perform steady‑state and transient hydraulic simulations using Synergi Pipeline Simulator (SPS).
• Conduct pressure‑drop analysis, thermal evaluation, line sizing, and system operability assessments.
• Evaluate system behavior during startup, shutdown, pigging, ramp‑up, and upset conditions.
• Identify and mitigate risks such as erosion, sand transport, thermal issues, and slugging at transitions.
• Ensure all engineering deliverables comply with Saudi Aramco standards: SAES, SAMSS, SAEP.
• Prepare and review Aramco‑required documents:
  Design Basis Memoranda (DBM), Hydraulic Calculation Reports, Flow Assurance Studies, Operating Philosophy, Interface Control Documents (ICDs).
• Participate in Aramco design reviews, HAZOPs, Model Reviews, and respond to TQs/SQs.
• Build, calibrate, and maintain SPS models for onshore pipeline networks and facility hydraulics.
• Integrate SPS models with process simulations for full‑system evaluation.
• Support pipeline and process teams with surge analysis, hydraulic profiles, and line sizing.
• Lead flow assurance scopes across FEED, detailed design, EPC, and commissioning.
• Coordinate with process, pipeline, mechanical, and operations teams.
• Review vendor packages (pumps, compressors, separators, heaters, metering systems) for hydraulic compliance.
• Provide technical leadership during project workshops and client meetings.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Chemical, Petroleum, or Mechanical Engineering.
• 15+ years of total experience in the oil & gas industry.
• Minimum 5 years of hands‑on experience with Synergi Pipeline Simulator (SPS).
• Strong expertise in single‑phase flow modeling and pipeline hydraulics.
• Mandatory:
  Proven experience working on Saudi Aramco onshore projects.
• Strong understanding of Aramco standards (SAES, SAMSS, SAEP, GI).
• Experience with onshore pipeline networks, gathering systems, and processing facilities.
• Strong analytical and modeling capabilities.
• Excellent understanding of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics.
• Ability to lead multidisciplinary teams and manage interfaces.
• Strong communication and documentation skills.
• Familiarity with Saudi project execution culture and requirements.

• BS Engineering Degree and registered as a professional engineer with significant experience of 15 years.
• Experience in hydrocarbon processing/utilities units, the oil/gas industry or refinery project/process industries and recognized as a project/process engineering specialist.
• Experience in coordinating/managing work internally, with other disciplines, and 3rd party/licensors.
• Thorough knowledge of process engineering practices and economic principles, calculation methods, design details, international codes and standards, procedures, and specifications.

• Mid-Senior level

• Full-time

• Engineering and Design

• Oil and Gas and Engineering Services
