Power Systems Engineering Department (PSED)

At the heart of our Power Systems organization, PSED delivers technical engineering knowledge and direct field engineering support services across our Generation and T&D facilities. The team is also responsible for the management of all Protection and Control systems and Automation and Smart Grid applications and plays a vital part in our Capital Projects Program, joint venture cogeneration activity, and renewable energy initiatives.

You will certainly find yourself developing diverse new skills and boundless confidence as you make your mark on some of the biggest energy projects in the world today.

Power Systems Planning Department (PSPD)

Demand for energy is growing by around 7% every year, so it’s vital for everyone that we optimize our energy value chain and become more sustainable and efficient. Enter our PSPD team.

Assessing the Kingdom’s long-term demand for power, the team enhances overall efficiency, optimizes fuel-mix utilization through best dispatching scenarios, and delivers planning policies and fuel consumption guidelines to drive continuous improvement.

Join us and you can profoundly shape the future of our organization and the wider Kingdom.

Power Systems Renewables Department (PSRD)

Renewable energy is central to our mission. It’s also vital to our planet. That’s why we’re determined to place our business and the Kingdom at the heart of the renewable energy industry.

You can make it happen as you evaluate technologies to harness renewable resources and help us produce clean energy through solar parks and wind farms. Bringing your innovative ideas to life, you will play your part in solving the climate crisis as you deliver the pollution-free energy to give everyone a better future.

We plan to install a 3.3 megawatt wind turbine at our Turaif bulk plant.

Aviation

Our aviation team keeps our business moving – quite literally. With 24 locations across the Kingdom, we’re constantly transferring people via both fixed and rotary wing services. But that’s not all: our aircraft conduct search and rescue operations and transfer medical patients, meaning you will face life-and-death challenges.

Join us as a pilot and you will fly the latest aircraft, maintained to the highest standards in a culture where safety is everything. We offer flexible work schedules and generous annual leave, so your career will fit in with your life and family – rather than the other way round.

Marine

Our 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.

Supported by powerful tugboats and marine vessels, our highly trained harbor pilots direct and control the movement of some of the world’s largest tankers. Join them and you will be central to running the safest, most customer-responsive, and professional crude oil and petroleum terminals in the world.

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.

Safety & Industrial Security (S&IS)

At Aramco, we don’t just put safety first. We make safety foremost. That’s why we maintain a team of well over 8,500 safety and security professionals across five key divisions:

Industrial Security Operations (ISO) delivers security services for all our operational and community facilities.
Our Loss Prevention Department (LPD) delivers safety policies, guides, and standards, and supports the business in implementing our Safety Management System (SMS).
Our Fire Protection Department (FrPD) operates 45 dedicated fire stations across the company.
Our Corporate Security Services Division (CSSD) provides specialized security services, including computer security and investigative services.
Our Traffic Safety Signature Program (TSSP) aims to ensure best practice in traffic management across the Eastern Province and beyond.

Wherever you join us, you will play a vital role in ensuring the safety of our people and communities – and will set new standards in protecting personnel and property.

King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture

A national landmark, the King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture is a state-of-the-art institution that inspires learning, creativity, volunteering, and cross-cultural engagement. Honoring a rich Arab heritage, the Center connects Saudis to their culture and brings global cultures to the Kingdom.

Its “library of the future” houses an incredible array of printed and digital volumes, including many rare publications, artefacts, and documents concerning the Kingdom and our business. Meanwhile, the museum of art and antiquities showcases both a permanent collection and seasonal exhibitions, and the Center offers many other features, including an exhibit and activity space, children’s library, gift shop, café, visitors’ lounge, and prayer room.

We are confident it will be a powerful stimulus for developing new ideas, perspectives, and relationship – and a very exciting place to work.
