Job description
The Electrical Engineer – Base Operating Support (PSAB) role within KBR Government Solutions provides architectural and engineering services supporting infrastructure projects, work orders, and work request operations at Prince Sultan Air Base (PSAB) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The role directly supports the delivery of Base Operating Support – Installation (BOS-I) services to the 378 Air Expeditionary Wing (AEW), mission partners, tenant units, and remote operational sites. The engineer is responsible for delivering electrical engineering design, project planning, maintenance support, and technical oversight across mission-critical facilities used by transient personnel, temporary duty (TDY) personnel, permanent party personnel, rotational forces, and five remote U.S. Army operational locations. The position involves planning and executing repair and maintenance strategies for War Reserve Material (WRM) assets while designing and updating electrical infrastructure systems to support operational readiness and mission success. The engineer must design electrical systems and prepare technical scopes of work for infrastructure improvement projects while ensuring proper documentation through record drawings and engineering updates. The role requires the development and administration of Activity and Asset Management Plans (AMP) that translate Air Force and installation objectives into actionable asset-related decisions through analysis of physical asset attributes, operational performance, condition monitoring, lifecycle management, usage patterns, and mission value. The engineer works closely with the 378 Engineering Flight Chief to ensure electrical engineering activities align with mission requirements and operational priorities while delivering regular project updates and engineering briefings before project solicitation through 378 ECONS. All engineering activities must comply with extensive regulatory and engineering standards including U.S. laws, Saudi Labor Law, US EPA Guidelines, Final Governing Standards (FGS), Overseas Environmental Baseline Guidance Document (OEBGD), U.S. Building Codes, Department of Defense Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC), National Electrical Code (NEC), National Electrical Safety Code (NESC), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standards, American Society of Heating Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) standards, International Plumbing Code (IPC), and National Plumbing Code (NPC). The role also requires ensuring that electrical design and construction activities comply with U.S., Department of Defense, and host-nation codes governing health, safety, environmental compliance, and infrastructure development. The engineer operates in both indoor and outdoor environments and may work under hazardous conditions including exposure to heat, cold, dust, noise, and chemicals while using personal protective equipment such as hard hats, gloves, steel-toed boots, hearing protection, safety glasses, and mission-specific Individual Protective Equipment (IPE). Operational communication is supported using Land Mobile Radios, cell phones, laptops, and other field devices to coordinate engineering activities and maintain operational accountability. The position requires readiness to function in contingency or wartime environments supporting U.S. mission objectives and may involve extended working hours, shift schedules, and travel depending on mission needs.
