What We Need (Summary For Recruiters)

We need an HSE professional with 5-10 years of operational Oil & Gas experience who can act as the functional bridge between the business and the technical build team.

They DO NOT need to code-but they must be able to translate HSE requirements into technical inputs, validate model outputs, and work closely with the delivery team throughout build and rollout.

This role supports AI-enabled use case development across the full value chain (upstream, midstream, downstream). Key strength is industry credibility + structured analytical thinking + strong documentation .

Arabic optional; English required.

No Certifications Required Beyond Core HSE Experience.
