POSITION SUMMARY
Purpose
To provide plant Process Engineering project ownership and oversight to ensure the success of the FAITS project for the working and safe & reliable operation of IGCC plant facilities under JIGPC in Jazan, Saudi Arabia.   

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 include residue gasification, acid gas cleanup, soot ash recovery, sulfur recovery, combined cycle power plants, materials handling, hydrogen and air separation, water utilities, and wastewater treatment.

The Project Delivery team seeks a Senior Process Project Engineer to oversee the FAITS project, acting as JIGPC Process Technical Authority for EPC Contractor during design, construction, and commissioning. Process Controls, merging control and chemical engineering, are vital for stable plant operation, quality products, and system functionality. The Senior Engineer manages EPC Process Engineering, ensuring adherence to standards.

Regular collaboration with EPC and site engineering, plant operations, providing updates, leadership, and guidance, while emphasizing teamwork, communication, organization, and technical skills. The role sits within a diverse engineering team under project Technical Lead supervision, reporting to the Project Manager.
