Reimagine What’s Possible

Purpose

Provide technical leadership and act as the site electrical engineering consultant 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 leadership and 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 and grid integration, 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 lead and 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
