Senior Electrical Engineer

At Air Products, we reimagine what’s possible. By tapping into the motivation of our people and our collective experience, we create the ideas and innovations that drive us forward. When we come together – where every voice is heard and everyone knows they belong and matter – we create solutions that launch people into space, support lifesaving care in hospitals, and enable the construction of groundbreaking, world scale production facilities.

Reimagine What’s Possible

Provide technical support and execution oversight for the NEOM Green Hydrogen Plant (GHE), ensuring safe, reliable, and cost-effective delivery of electrical systems through construction, pre-commissioning, commissioning & start-up (CSU) and operation. Drive resolution of complex technical challenges, enable cross-functional alignment for successful plant energization, and strengthen team capability to support predictable, high-quality and timely project execution.

Nature & Scope

• Provides electrical engineering site support across Neom Green Hydrogen Plant (GHE) process units, including Air Separation Unit (ASU), Alkaline Water Electrolysis (AWE)/Hydrogen Production, Ammonia plant, Hydrogen & Ammonia storage, utilities (Compressed Dry Air, demineralized water, cooling water), Jetty Area, GHE Buildings Scope and Centralized Diesel Generation plant.

• Operates within a multi-disciplinary, multi-contractor EPC environment, interfacing with Project Management, Construction, Pre-Commissioning, CSU and NGHC Operations teams as well as vendors and OEMs.

• Covers the full electrical scope, including MV/LV distribution, electrical substations, SCADA, large rotating equipment, drive systems, Rectifiers, protection schemes, earthing, lighting and hazardous area design.

• Provides technical oversight of power quality devices, including harmonics filters, STATCOM/dynamic reactive compensation, power factor correction, load shedding and Saudi Grid Code compliance.

• Addresses complex, cross-functional technical challenges requiring strong engineering judgment, timely decision-making, and alignment across stakeholders in a schedule-driven project environment.

• Supports the transition from project execution to operational readiness, ensuring systems are safe, reliable, maintainable, and compliant with applicable standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Independently supervise site electrical engineering activities to ensure safe, high-quality, and timely execution, while resolving complex and critical issues through structured problem definition, troubleshooting, root cause analysis (RCA), and effective solution implementation.

• Drive site electrical engineering execution through timely response to TQs/RFIs, effective closure of walkdown punch items, and completion of Electrical Operational Readiness Inspections (ORI), while managing Field Change Notices (FCNs) for temporary site modifications and ensuring accurate RLM/as-built records aligned with actual site conditions.

• Drive effective cross-functional coordination with Project Management, Construction, Pre-Commissioning, CSU and Operations teams to support safe and timely execution.

• Coordinate engineering activities with mechanical, piping, civil/structural, process control, process systems, process safety, fire protection, HCIS security, and cybersecurity teams to ensure effective multidisciplinary integration and alignment.

• Manage interfaces with EPC construction contractors, vendors, and OEMs to support troubleshooting across construction through start-up, ensuring high-quality execution and timely project delivery in line with schedule requirements.

• Demonstrates expertise in large rotating equipment and drive systems, including steam turbine generators (STG), standby generators, induction and synchronous motors (e.g., compressors and pumps), MV/LV VSDs/VFDs, and soft starters, with advanced knowledge of drive topologies (CSI/VSI such as LCI and CHB), protection schemes, and resolution of complex starting and operational challenges, including witnessing SAT in accordance with project requirements.

• Review and Markup (Red Line) key electrical deliverables, including MV/LV distribution systems, grounding, lighting, hazardous area classification, SLDs, schematics, Relay logic diagrams including intertripping & interlock, protection schemes, relay protection settings, system studies (Load Flow, Motor Starting, Short Circuit using ETAP or SKM), load lists, cable sizing, and AC/DC UPS & battery sizing.

• Ensure electrical designs comply with safety principles, Air Products standards, Local Saudi Standards (e.g. HCIS, SBC, Saudi National Grid Code) and international codes (IEC/IEEE/NFPA/IS).

• Participate in 3D model reviews, design reviews, and constructability assessments to ensure maintainability and operability.

• Mentor and develop engineers and designers, promoting technical excellence, standardization, and continuous improvement.

• Promote Our Way of Leading behaviors, fostering collaboration, accountability, and high-performance team culture.
