Job description

We are Sisco Jobs, a recruitment consultancy based in Trichy, Tamil Nadu. We are hiring for the position of Shift Charge Engineer in Saudi Arabia / Middle East. The requirement is for conventional power plant O&M and water desalination operations involving steam turbines, gas turbines, conventional power generation systems, and desalination facilities. Skilled and motivated power-plant professionals with strong shift-operation and plant-safety expertise are encouraged to apply early as positions are limited.

• Lead and control shift operations of steam turbine, gas turbine, conventional power plant, and associated utility systems.
  
• Monitor plant operating parameters and take corrective action to maintain safe, stable, and efficient operation.
  
• Coordinate plant start-up, shutdown, synchronization, load changes, equipment changeovers, and emergency operating activities.
  
• Supervise field operators and control-room personnel during assigned shifts.
  
• Coordinate with maintenance teams for equipment isolation, permit-to-work activities, troubleshooting, and restoration.
  
• Monitor water desalination and associated water-treatment systems where included within plant operations.
  
• Respond to plant alarms, trips, abnormal operating conditions, and emergency situations according to approved operating procedures.
  
• Maintain accurate shift logs, operating records, handover reports, incident documentation, and production data.
  

Power Plant Operations: Strong understanding of continuous operation and monitoring of conventional generating stations.

Steam Turbine Operations: Knowledge of steam turbine auxiliaries, operating parameters, start-up, shutdown, protection, and troubleshooting.

Gas Turbine Operations: Familiarity with gas turbine operation, auxiliaries, control systems, alarms, trips, and operating procedures.

Shift Operations & Control: Ability to supervise plant operating activities and coordinate safely across control-room and field teams.

Plant Safety & Permit Systems: Practical understanding of PTW, isolation, LOTO, emergency response, and safe operating procedures.

• Water desalination plant operating exposure.
  
• Middle East power or utility-sector experience.
  
• Experience with DCS-based power plant control and monitoring.
  

The source does not specify an experience requirement. Typical for this level of responsibility: candidates generally require substantial hands-on experience in power-plant operations, including independent shift responsibilities and exposure to steam turbine, gas turbine, or conventional generation environments.

Supervisory experience in continuous-process power or utility facilities is typically preferred for a Shift Charge Engineer position.
