Job description

Bechtel is opening a new Energy office in Al Khobar to deliver studies, FEEDs, PMC and detail design for Energy Transition, hydrogen, eFuel, oil and gas and petrochemical projects across the region. This Lead Mechanical Engineer runs the mechanical team within that office, supervising direct reports and coordinating globally distributed teams on medium-sized projects. Static and rotating equipment is the core of the discipline here, from selection, sizing and design calculations through to materials evaluation. Expect to oversee Mechanical Equipment Specifications, Datasheets, Material Requisitions, Technical Bid Evaluations, Inspection and Test Plans and vendor document reviews, and to support P&ID, HAZOP and Model reviews. Schedules, budgets and the trend program for change management also sit with you, all within Bechtel's EDPs, design guides and BSAPs. Brownfield work in the Middle East makes up a large part of the portfolio, so familiarity with Aramco standards matters, as does a working knowledge of API, ASME and BS codes. Construction and startup questions will come your way too, and field troubleshooting is part of the job. Mentoring junior engineers and running training for groups inside and outside Mechanical Engineering round out the position. At least 15 years in Energy Transition, Petrochemical or Oil and Gas is required, with Chartered Engineer or Professional Engineer status preferred.
