Senior Project Engineering Manager

location

Jazan, Saudi Arabia

POSITION SUMMARY

Purpose

Jazan Integrated Gasification and Power Company (JIGPC) is looking for a Senior Project Engineering Manager to provide oversight of the development of FEL 1, 2, 3 packages with target of achieving +/-10% cost estimates, followed by detailed engineering deriving from “Design Notices”. This is to ensure safe & reliable operation of IGCC plant facilities under JIGPC in Jazan, Saudi Arabia. 

Design Notices are the method that JIGPC uses to notify issues to Saudi Aramco that could prevent IGCC plant from passing the performance tests or delaying schedule and long-term performance guarantees based on the assumption that the IGCC design basis being correct.

Design Notice is a defined term in the Asset Purchase Agreement

The development of a Design Notice package is following the Project Life Cycle Procedure using a stage Gate Approach which require approval before moving to the next phase.

Nature & Scope

The Jazan IGCC is the world’s largest IGCC and ASU facility producing 2100 MMSCFD syngas, 18,000 MT/Day Oxygen and 4 Gigawatts of power. Facilities and assets include the following units: residue gasification, acid gas clean up (Rectisol), soot ash recovery, Sulphur recovery (Claus & Scot), combined cycle power plants, materials handling systems, hydrogen recovery, air separation, water utilities systems and wastewater treatment facilities.

Properly functioning units are critical to the safe, reliable, and efficient operation of the plant facilities and associated equipment & systems.

As a member of the Design Notices Execution Team, the Senior Project Engineering Manager lead multi discipline teams within JIGPC and OEs (Owners Engineers engaged for engineering work) with different cultures.

Interfaces with Saudi Aramco SMEs for acceptance & approval of the FEL packages prior to Detailed Design.

He / She will interact routinely with plant operations, maintenance, and other engineering personnel.
