Al Jubayl, Eastern, SA (On-site)1 open job
Saudi petrochemical manufacturer in Jubail producing propylene, polypropylene, isopropyl alcohol, and polysilicon, operating complex plants built on industrial process control systems.
Advanced Petrochemical Company is a Saudi joint-stock manufacturer operating complex chemical plants in Jubail Industrial City, producing propylene, polypropylene, isopropyl alcohol, and polysilicon. Founded in 2005 and publicly listed, it has become a significant industrial player in Saudi Arabia and the wider MENA region - which means its attack surface is not an abstraction: it runs industrial process control systems wired directly into production assets where availability and safety outrank everything else.
That threat model shapes the security work. The technical scope spans industrial process control systems, industrial cybersecurity, plant reliability and maintenance, process efficiency optimization, and environmental health and safety - the seam between IT and OT where most petrochemical risk actually lives. Securing a facility that manufactures plastics in primary forms means thinking in terms of production continuity, dependable operations, and the physical consequences of a failed control loop, not just data confidentiality.
Day-to-day, the company emphasizes safe and dependable operations and maintains a strong focus on EHSQ requirements, alongside formal governance, financial reporting, and investor-relations programs befitting a listed company. It invests in energy efficiency, water conservation, sustainability initiatives, and employee development. Candidates with backgrounds in industrial control systems, chemical manufacturing environments, and reliability-focused operations will find the domain clear and the stakes legible.
