Steam Service Engineer

Your role

The Steam Service Engineer will support operations across Saudi Arabia, delivering expert service, commissioning, troubleshooting, and maintenance of steam boilers, ensuring safe operations for shutdowns, petrochemical clients, refineries, and major utility projects.

• Support statutory inspections per Saudi regulatory requirements (SGS, Lloyds, Apave, etc.).
• Ensure accurate operation of boiler safety logic (BON/BOFF/PSH/WP parameters).

2. Customer Interaction

• Act as primary technical expert at customer sites, including refineries, petrochemical complexes (e.g., Jubail, Yanbu), and mega projects.
• Provide operational guidance and training to customer operators.

3. Operational Reporting

4. Tools, Assets & Safety

• Maintain service vehicle, tools, PPE, and diagnostic devices in optimal working condition.
• Follow Atlas Copco and Saudi customer site safety procedures rigorously.

5. Regional Deployment (Saudi Focus)

• Support operations across Eastern Province, Riyadh, and Western Region, especially during shutdowns and peak seasonal demand.
