Senior E&I Engineer; OMPP​/Pipelines

Our client is an established Saudi Aramco onshore EPC contractor headquartered in the Eastern Province, delivering Onshore Maintain Potential Program (OMPP) packages, cross-country pipelines, well tie-ins and upstream facilities across the Northern and Southern Areas. The company self-performs electrical and instrumentation construction on its pipeline and wellsite projects, from overhead power lines to RTU and SCADA integration.

The Senior E&I Engineer runs the electrical and instrumentation construction on an OMPP / pipeline package: overhead power lines to new wells, cathodic protection of wellhead casings and pipelines, fiber optic and communication networks, RTU and SCADA installation, wellhead instrumentation and the energisation, loop testing and pre-commissioning that bring the package to mechanical completion. The role is the E&I in-charge on site, directing the E&I supervisors, technicians and subcontractors, and is accountable to the Construction Manager and the Saudi Aramco PMT for the discipline.

• Own the E&I construction plan for the package, from IFC review and material take-off through installation, testing, energisation and pre-commissioning.
• Direct installation and testing of overhead power lines (13.8 kV and 34.5 kV), switch racks, transformers, switch gear and grounding systems at wellsites, remote headers and valve stations.
• Lead cathodic protection works for wellhead casings and pipelines, including deep anode beds, surface beds, rectifiers, junction boxes, test stations and CP commissioning.
• Manage fiber optic and telecommunication cable installation, splicing and testing along pipeline corridors and to wellsites.
• Oversee installation and configuration of RTUs, UPS systems, fire and gas detection (LEL / H2S) and SCADA integration with the client's central processing facilities.
• Direct wellhead and I-Field instrumentation installation (PT, TT, FT, MOV, MCV, PDHMS, MPFM, corrosion monitoring) and shutdown system testing.
• Run loop checks, instrument calibration, energisation packages, SAT and pre-commissioning to Saudi Aramco procedures.

• Act as the E&I interface with the Saudi Aramco PMT, inspection and operations representatives.
• Ensure all E&I work complies with Saudi Aramco Engineering Standards (SAES-P, SAES-J, SAES-X), SAEP procedures and Schedule Q.
• Prepare and close inspection packages, RFIs, technical queries, NCRs and redline / as-built drawings for the discipline.
• Drive E&I mechanical completion dossiers, loop folders, punch-list closure and turnover.

• Hold the discipline to the client's HSE plan and Aramco electrical safety requirements, including lock-out / tag-out, energisation permits and work on or near live systems.
• Coordinate with QA/QC so that cable testing, CP surveys, loop test records and calibration certificates are current and audit-ready.
• Control E&I material, manpower and subcontractor cost against budget, and raise material requisitions in line with Aramco approved vendor lists.
• Identify E&I scope changes early and support change notices with technical substantiation.
