We welcome applications from Saudi Nationals and/or experienced expatriates eligible to work in the Kingdom who bring strong technical depth and leadership within complex refinery and petrochemical environments.

? The Industrial Environment

This world-class integrated complex operates at the intersection of:

- Refining (diesel, jet fuel, gasoline streams, naphtha)

- Petrochemical feedstocks (ethylene, propylene)

- Polymer production (polyethylene, polypropylene)

- High-value chemical intermediates serving global downstream industries

Operational reliability, asset integrity, and safety performance are mission-critical.

Are you an experienced refinery operations leader ready to take ownership of performance, reliability, and operational excellence in a major downstream environment?

We are supporting a leading industrial services organization operating inside a world-class integrated refinery complex in Saudi Arabia. We are seeking a technically solid and operationally disciplined Operation Superintendent to oversee refinery operations support and ensure alignment with safety, reliability, and profitability priorities.





This is a strategic, high-responsibility role within a performance-driven and safety-critical environment.

Role Overview

The Operation Superintendent will:

• Ensure efficient and cost-effective refinery operations
• Supervise daily operational activities in line with client standards
• Maintain compliance with safety, environmental, and operational procedures
• Drive operational performance, reliability, and process optimization
• Support startup, shutdown, and ongoing operational execution
• Lead and develop operation staff
• Interface with client stakeholders to ensure operational alignment

This role requires strong operational discipline and hands-on refinery experience.

Mandatory Requirements

To be considered, candidates must meet the following criteria:

• Minimum 12+ years of total experience, with at least 10 years in refinery operations
• Minimum 5 years of direct experience in refinery operations, including sulfur handling systems
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Industrial Engineering
• Minimum 7 years in managerial/supervisory positions

• Strong operational troubleshooting capability
• Ability to manage operational KPIs and drive results
• Experience supervising refinery operations teams
• Strong safety mindset and regulatory compliance awareness




• Structured decision-making and analytical thinking
• Leadership presence and stakeholder coordination skills

This is not an EPC project role. Direct refinery operations experience is mandatory.
