Saudi Electric Services Polytechnic (SESP),
Baish, Jazan Province, Saudi Arabia
Introduction
PINZ has been contracted to provide training and management services for the new Saudi Electric Services Polytechnic (SESP). The polytechnic, based in Baish in Saudi Arabia’s Jizan province, opened in September 2012 with an intake of 430 male students who started a 2.5-year training program. The students selected are mostly high school graduates at beginner English levels.
PINZ is seeking applications from qualified Technical Instructors with strong electrical supply sector experience that includes current hands on industry experience, along with recent experience in tertiary training of electric supply industry workers. Up to 24 or so instructors are required, and would start work in July/Aug 2013 and classes would begin in September 2013. Due to cultural sensitivities, we are looking for male teachers and preferably on an unaccompanied status. The minimum level of commitment is expected to be for one-year initially, renewable by mutual agreement. Preference will be given to candidates willing to commit to a two-year assignment.
Technical Program
The training program begins with a year of ESL and foundation studies (maths, physics, health & safety and IT); followed by a year of technical training focused on mechanical and electrical engineering. Six months of on-the-job training in the power utility industry and related sectors completes their Diploma.
Up to 25 Technical Instructors will deliver the second year 3-trimester technical training programme. Students will build core knowledge in trimester 1 and undertake specialisation study in trimesters 2 and 3. The first rotation of the Year-2 program begins in September 2013. Technical Instructors must have experience teaching in at least one to two of the eight specialisations below:
1. Power Plant Maintenance Technician Electrical
2. Power Plant Maintenance Technician Mechanical
3. Power Plant Technician Instrumentation Measurement and Control
4. Transmission/Distribution Protection Relay Technician
5. Transmission Power Service Technicians (Substations)
6. Distribution Network Operator (Electrical Network Operation)
7. Cable Splicing (Jointing)
8. Power Plant Operation Combined Cycle
The training program begins with a year of ESL and foundation studies (maths, physics, health & safety and IT); followed by a year of technical training focused on mechanical and electrical engineering. Six months of on-the-job training in the power utility industry and related sectors completes their Diploma. Technical Instructors will have around 18 students each. The curriculum will be provided across three trimesters per year; where trainers each day have around five to six or more contact hours with students, subject to training requirements. Break periods include between training trimesters, the summer break between academic years and the two Eid festivals celebrating the end of Ramadan and the Haj.

Overall contractor package valued from SAR349,000 includes: annual salary (SAR280,000 negotiable, subject to experience), accommodation and local transport allowance; furnished shared accommodation (2 trainers per 2 or 4-bedroom apartment) with utilities and internet; a one-off relocation allowance; generous leave entitlement; private medical insurance; the initial one way economy class flight to Saudi; and subsequent return economy class flights for each additional year of service.
