Project Overview
Project Overview:
Jubail is one of Bechtel’s most remarkable achievements, a city built from the sand up, requiring vast resources and logistical planning on an unprecedented scale. It the biggest civil engineering project in modern times-and it's getting bigger. Bechtel has managed the Jubail project, located in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, since it began in the mid-1970s. Saudi Arabian Bechtel Company (SABCO) serves as the Management Services Contractor (MSC), or “owner’s representative” for our client, the Royal Commission (RC). We are the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) managers, managing design submissions from local AE firms, and overseeing the actual construction work being performed by local contractors and sub-contractors in Jubail and Ras Al-Khair Industrial Cities. In June 2026, Bechtel’s contract with the Royal Commission was renewed for another 5 years with work focusing on building new residential communities, iconic buildings/ bridges, major site preparation, commercial buildings, mosques, schools, hospitals, sports facilities, clinics, universities, utility services and infrastructure (electrical sub-stations, lift stations), roads and highways, port & pipeline expansions, and more.
Work Location: Ras Al-Khair. The position is based in Ras Al-Khair, located approximately 100 kilometers north of Jubail Industrial City. Daily commuting between Jubail and Ras Al-Khair is required, using either the available transportation facility or the shuttle bus service. Accommodation for this role is provided in Jubail Industrial City. Complimentary breakfast and lunch are provided for Ras Al-Khair assignees on workdays.
This position is designated as Single Status only.
