Process Engineer — Power Plants | Synchronous Condenser Programme, Saudi Arabia Bahrawy Consultancy Group · Cairo Head Office
Saudi Arabia is building one of the largest renewable portfolios in the world, and the grid needs inertia, voltage support and system strength to absorb it. That is why synchronous condensers are being installed across the Kingdom alongside the new solar and wind plants.
Bahrawy Consultancy Group is the engineering consultant on 14 synchronous condenser projects in KSA — acting for the OEM on all fourteen, and additionally for the EPC contractor on eight of them. We are building the Cairo-based engineering team that will deliver them.
If you want your next five years spent on one large, technically serious programme rather than jumping between unrelated jobs, read on.
???? WHAT YOU WILL ACTUALLY DO
- Develop and review PFDs, P&IDs, heat and mass balance, and system descriptions for the balance-of-plant: closed cooling water, lube oil and jacking oil, air and water cooling circuits, compressed air, demineralised and raw water, drainage, and fire water.- Size equipment and lines — pumps, heat exchangers, coolers, filters, tanks, valves — and produce the hydraulic and thermal calculations that back them up.- Write and review technical specifications, equipment datasheets, equipment lists and MTOs.- Review OEM and vendor deliverables against project specifications, applicable codes and Saudi utility requirements, and drive comments to closure.- Participate in design reviews, HAZOP and constructability sessions, and 3D model reviews.- Coordinate daily with electrical, I&C, civil and piping disciplines, and interface with the OEM's and the EPC contractor's engineering teams.- Support ITPs, pre-commissioning and commissioning procedures, and answer site technical queries.
✅ WHAT YOU MUST HAVE
- BSc in Mechanical or Power Engineering from an accredited university.- Minimum 5 years of process/mechanical design experience, with at least 3 on power generation, substation or heavy industrial projects.- Working command of ASME B31.1, ASME BPVC, API 610/682/614, TEMA and NFPA 850/851.- Strong hydraulic and thermal calculation ability — you can defend your numbers, not just run the software.- Auto CAD plus solid Excel. Any of AFT Fathom, Pipe Flow Expert, HTRI or Plant 3D/PDMS/SP3D is a real plus.- Fluent written and spoken English. All project correspondence, specifications and vendor documents are in English.- Egyptian Engineers Syndicate membership.- Based in Greater Cairo, or genuinely willing to relocate.- Valid passport and readiness to travel to Saudi Arabia for project meetings and troubleshooting.
✈️ ABOUT THE TRAVEL
This is a Cairo-based role, not a rotation. Your desk, your team and your working week are at our head office in El Nozha, Heliopolis. But the projects are in the Kingdom, and the engineers who own the design go there — for design review meetings with the OEM, the EPC contractor and the client, and for troubleshooting when a system does not behave the way the drawings said it would.
Trips are short and fully arranged and funded by the company: flights, accommodation, ground transport, visa and per diem. You will need a valid passport with at least six months validity.
If you have ever wanted to see the systems you designed actually running, this is the part of the job that gives you that.
⭐ WHAT WILL MOVE YOU TO THE TOP OF THE PILE
- Experience with rotating machinery auxiliaries — turbines, generators, large motors, flywheels.- Prior work on Saudi projects: SEC / National Grid SA standards, Saudi Building Code, or Aramco specifications.- Experience on the consultant or owner's-engineer side, reviewing rather than only producing.- Exposure to GE Vernova, Siemens Energy or comparable OEM equipment packages.- Site commissioning or troubleshooting experience, not only design-office work.
???? WHERE THIS GOES
This is not a seat-filling hire. The successful engineer is expected to grow into a Discipline Lead / Team Leader as the programme scales, with responsibility for a squad of engineers across multiple projects. Bahrawy is expanding its Power sector practice, and the people who build this programme will run the next one.
