Jobs at Renaissance Africa Energy Company Limited

Provide PACO (Process Automation Control & Optimization) discipline engineering support and technical authority to HA & HB-Buko projects during design, Construction and CSU phases.

The HA & HB-Buko projects aim to provide circa 350-450 MMscf/d of gas to the NLNG Train-7 from 2029+, as well as 25-30 kb/d of oil and condensate for export. The projects’ projected gas supply constitutes circa 25% of the overall supply to the NLNG Train-7. The HA project completed FEED in Apr-25 and is now completing the tendering phase of the project contracts. While the HB-Buko project has initiated FEED in Q2-26. Current plan is for a joint HA/HB-Buko FID by end of Q1-27. Given the strategic importance of both projects to the NLNG Train 7, and to derisk the project execution schedule to protect the First Gas Date, a full integration and optimization of HA & HB-Buko has been endorsed by the JV partners to improve the business case and to accelerate further optimizations of the projects.

The work will be carried out in accordance with the mandatory Project and the selected engineering standards, but there are many aspects of the job (e.g. contractor management, deviations from Renaissance Technical Standards) that require a high level of judgment and interpretation. The role requires effective interfaces with specialist support from within the wider Shell Group. The role specifically focuses on support to design, construction and commissioning, including supporting the Flawless Project Delivery Plan, interaction with System/equipment.
