Aviation

The Aviation Department at Saudi Aramco, based at the King Fahad International Airport in Dammam, provides fixed and rotary wing passenger services to over 24 locations across the Kingdom. This could involve moving ship pilots, carrying out search and rescue operations, as well as transferring medical patients.

Many pilots mold their careers to gain the necessary experience to meet the minimum requirements to be considered for a position. Join us and you’ll get to fly current and well-maintained craft, with the newest technologies and established procedures, in a safe environment. The work schedule is flexible and easy to fulfil. And your generous annual vacation entitlement means you’ll have every opportunity to rest and recharge.

Last year, Aviation carried over 750,000 passengers and clocked up over 34,000 flight hours, mostly to support exploration and production activities.

Marine

Saudi Aramco’s enormous storage tank farms and shipping terminals supply crude oil, natural gas liquids (NGL), and refined products to customers around the globe. Every year, thousands of tankers call at our terminals in Ras Tanura, Ju’aymah, Yanbu’, Jiddah, and Rabigh. And with the construction of the Jazan project and terminal in the southwest of the Kingdom, this traffic is only set to increase. With the assistance of powerful tug boats and marine vessels, highly trained harbor pilots direct and control the movement of tankers. Join us, and you’ll help to run and maintain the safest, most customer-responsive and professional crude oil and petroleum terminals anywhere.

We have added a fully immersive and state-of-the-art maritime vessel navigation simulator to our Marine Academy in Ras Tanura.
Our Marine organisation has recently procured 16 new platform support vessels to increase rig turnaround times at our Manifa oilfield.
Five marine ports load millions of barrels of oil and refined products each day onto ships destined for terminals in the world’s three major energy markets: Asia, North America, and Europe.
