Job Description and Qualifications

Purpose

The Jazan Integrated Gasification & Power Company (JV) is a 3 partner, $12bn JV that is closely integrated with a 400 000 barrel per day crude refinery. The refinery will supply up to 100000 barrels per day vacuum bottoms from its crude distillation unit to 15 Shell Gasifiers in the JV. The gasifiers will feed 4 Acid gas removal (AGR) trains where after the gas will split to feed 2 Hydrogen Recovery Units that will produce hydrogen for the refinery while the rest of the syngas will go to 10 gas turbines that together with 5 heat recovery steam generator and 5 stream turbines will produce 33000 ton of steam and 4000MW of power daily. Oxygen (22000 ton per day) and nitrogen (60000 ton per day) will be manufactured in 6 ASU's. The JV will also have the associated utilities, inclusive of desalination, water treatment, wastewater treatment, fuel gas, plant and instrument air and the main electrical substation.
The purpose of the high voltage electrical engineer is to provide electrical engineering oversight to ensure the working and safe & reliable operation of IGCC plant facilities under JIGPC in Jazan, Saudi Arabia.
