HIRING Process Engineer – Alkylation FOR SAUDI ARAMCO

 Process Engineer – Alkylation

Position Description:

We are seeking a Downstream Process Engineer with an experience in Alkylation processes to join the

Global Manufacturing Excellence organization under the Downstream Global Manufacturing to support

and oversee the performances of Saudi Aramco global manufacturing assets.

The primary role is to provide process engineering and operations expertise to monitor, optimize, and

drive performance improvement programs for Alkylation processes, including remote and field technical

advisory support, benchmarking, and Alkylation technology knowledge management and exchange.

Drive the performance improvement programs which enhance process safety, optimize manufacturing

cost, and increase plant reliability.

Minimum Requirements:

A successful candidate will have:

 Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering or related specialization. An advanced degree is

preferred.

 A minimum of 15 years of total refinery or petrochemical process units experience (process

engineering and operations) with at least 10 years’ experience in handling Alkylation plants.

 Exposure to different Alkylation process licensor technologies is a plus

Duties & Responsibilities:

You are expected to be able to perform the following:

 Review and monitor the performances of existing Alkylation manufacturing facilities through key

performance indicators (KPIs) representing the process plant’s optimum operability,

profitability, reliability, and process safety. Issue quarterly Alkylation performance

benchmarking reports highlighting the KPIs, analysis, and performance improvement

recommendations.

 Monitor and support the facilities in implementing the recommendations and closing the gaps

identified in the quarterly performance benchmarking reports.

 Conduct benchmarking and best practices exchange workshops internally among Global

Manufacturing facilities (wholly-owned and affiliates) having Alkylation process technologies.

 Provide on-demand remote and/or field technical advisory support to Global Manufacturing

facilities on matters concerning the operation of Alkylation plants which may include but not

limited to process troubleshooting, start-up and shutdown activities, capacity test runs,

technology pilot testing, and process design improvements. Issue service report for every

support activity provided highlighting the facilities need, actions taken, results, and lessons

learned.

 In collaboration with Global Manufacturing facilities engineers, propose cost optimization or

process improvement initiatives focusing on ‘low-hanging fruits’ with no or minimal capital

investment required, through operational adjustment or design modification.

 Conduct internal assessments on Alkylation process using Saudi Aramco engineering standard

references. Highlight any deviations or better standards applied by affiliates for endorsement to

facility management or Saudi Aramco Central Engineering.

Saudi Aramco: Company General Use

 Act as the overall coordinator for cascading and driving Global Manufacturing and Corporate

programs to the Alkylation operating facilities for execution and effective monitoring.

 Participate in Business Plan development and coordinate with stakeholders for any capital

investments on assigned process units and support techno-economic evaluations.

 Be aware of technology developments in Alkylation process plants. Perform evaluation and

approval of technology developments to Central Engineering and facilitate field deployment.

 Support arrangement and facilitation of technical knowledge exchange workshops with

Alkylation process technology licensors and Global Manufacturing facilities.

 Provide in-house technical trainings to Global Manufacturing facilities when needed.

 Participate in hazard operability (HAZOP) and safety integrity level (SIL) studies as required by

Alkylation unit operating facilities.

 Participate in incident investigation activities concerning Alkylation process technologies as

required by operating facilities.
