HRING Process Engineer – Thermal cracking (Delayed Coker / Visbreaking) FOR SAUDI ARAMCO

 Process Engineer – Thermal cracking (Delayed Coker / Visbreaking)

Overview

We are seeking a Downstream Process Engineer with an experience in Thermal cracking (Delayed Coker

/ Visbreaking) processes to join the Global Manufacturing Excellence organization under the

Downstream Global Manufacturing to support and oversee the performances of Saudi Aramco’s Global

Manufacturing assets.

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

drive performance improvement programs for refineries’ thermal cracking processes, including remote

and field technical advisory support, benchmarking, and Delayed Coker / Visbreaker technology

knowledge management and exchange. Drive the performance improvement programs which enhance

process safety, optimize manufacturing cost, and increase plant reliability.

Key Responsibilities

You are expected to be able to perform the following:

 Review and monitor the performances of existing Thermal cracking (Delayed Coker / Visbreaker)

facilities through key performance indicators (KPIs) representing the process plant’s optimum

operability, profitability, reliability, and process safety. Issue quarterly 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 Thermal cracking (Delayed Coker /

Visbreaker) process technologies.

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

facilities on matters concerning the operation of Thermal cracking (Delayed Coker / Visbreaker)

plants which may include but not limited to process troubleshooting, start-up and shutdown

activities, capacity test runs, technology pilot testing, and process design. 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 Thermal cracking (Delayed Coker / Visbreaker) process

engineering standards 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.

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

programs to Thermal cracking (Delayed Coker / Visbreaker) operating facilities for execution and

effective monitoring.

Saudi Aramco: Company General Use

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

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