About the team
In 2017, the UAE published its National Climate Change Plan for 2050 serving as a roadmap to bolster nationwide actions for climate mitigation and in 2021 became the first Gulf petro-state to commit to fully decarbonise its economy and reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 with an investment of $6bn a year and a requirement to reduce emissions by 23% by 2030 and 50% of electricity from renewables by 2050. Other MENA states such as Saudi Arabia have launched major net zero initiatives.
These ambitious targets show the regional commitment to net zero. A net zero energy system will require the implementation of renewable, hydrogen production, electric vehicles and storage infrastructure at scale. The combination of renewable sources and increase in demand however requires a stable backbone primarily based on gas/CCGT plants acting as frequency response, reserve or baseload to maintain security of supply and facilitate further renewable energy integration. This may be achieved by new units, life extension, repurposing, fuel conversion or simply reducing utilisation.
As one of the world’s leading engineering and design consultancies, we believe Atkins has a compelling and substantial role in advising, challenging, developing and implementing power plant projects.
Atkins has a well-established and reputable energy team, headquartered in Abu Dhabi, but serving the region. Our team has a real family feel, and are considered to be one of the most diverse teams within the wider Atkins/SNC-Lavalin group.
What you would do
You will be responsible for:
- Lead or support on key power generation plant opportunities.
- Lead or support technical advisory projects for buyers, lenders or sellers.
- Lead of support feasibility, technology assessment and selection, conceptual development, pre-FEED or owner’s engineering services for developers or investors.
- Possibly FEED/Detailed design projects.
- Technical Project management and managing deliverables.
Experience:
- A degree qualification (or equivalent) in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline, and must be a Chartered Engineer with a suitable engineering Institution (IMechE, etc.)
- Demonstrable track record in delivering the above services in the power generation sector.
- Minimum 10 years of experience in some of the areas below:
- Power generation plant in relation to at least two of the following main power generation technologies: gas turbines, steam turbines, waste to energy.
- Experience in providing technical advisory, feasibility, owner’s engineer, concept development or Pre-FEED.
- Other experience may cover any of the following areas: design, construction, operation, project management and engineering.
- Experience in working in a developer or consultancy environment desirable.
The role is based either in Abu Dhabi or within our Global Technology Centre (GTC) in India (Bangalore/Gurgaon/Mumbai) supporting the Net Zero business in Abu Dhabi. The team’s broader remit extends to the integration of all types of energy, its production, transportation and consumption. As such there will be a requirement to collaborate and work closely with colleagues with backgrounds in all of the main power generation technologies as well as transmission and distribution, carbon capture and storage and green hydrogen production.
You will work with a team of project and technical professionals who collaborate across disciplines to help our clients develop solutions for their complex projects. Our business is diverse and therefore you will be flexible, adaptable and have a keen interest in working with a multi-disciplinary engineering team.
Development of relationships with clients across the MENA region, project developers and energy organisations will be essential to success and you will therefore enjoy working with others, sometimes at client sites, sometimes from our offices, and thrive on working within a collaborative and diverse project environment. If based in India, willingness for international travel will be important.
This is a great opportunity to join a high-growth, high-performing team in an important project delivery role.
Your Role:
You’ll enjoy dealing with new and existing clients, and developing trusting relationships with a range of our technical and commercial departments across the globe.
