About Ma'aden and the Role

Ma'aden, established in 1997, is recognized as one of the fastest-growing mining companies globally and the largest multi-commodity mining and metals company in the Middle East. The company is instrumental in developing the mining industry to become a key pillar of Saudi Arabia’s economy, building a world-class and fully integrated mining value chain. We are seeking a Principal Specialist, Engineering and ETL (OT) to join our team in Riyadh.

Role Purpose

The Principal Specialist, Engineering and ETL (OT) provides enterprise leadership for Operational Technology (OT) data engineering. This role is critical for enabling the reliable ingestion, transformation, and availability of operational data, supporting advanced analytics, operations, and performance management. The specialist defines OT pipeline standards, ensuring that OT data is delivered with the required quality, lineage, security, and appropriate latency across all sites. This position is also responsible for defining scalable patterns for integrating historians and industrial systems into enterprise platforms, guiding teams through complex OT constraints, and ensuring operational data products are sustainable and governed effectively.

Key Responsibilities

Define OT data engineering and ETL standards, patterns, and reference architectures, covering batch, streaming, and near-real-time ingestion needs.
Establish ingestion patterns for historians and OT source systems, including normalization, unit standardization, quality flags, and tag mapping processes.
Design and assure robust pipeline reliability, encompassing idempotency, backfill, late-arriving data handling, reconciliation, and alerting, appropriate for OT contexts.
Ensure OT pipelines comply with security and segmentation requirements, partnering with OT cyber and platform security teams for governance-by-design.
Oversee and guide OT data transformation logic to produce curated OT data products aligned with enterprise models and governance requirements.
Provide architectural oversight for site onboarding, managing variability across plants, and ensuring consistent delivery standards across implementations.
Review and assure vendor and internal deliverables, providing technical direction and quality gates for complex OT engineering initiatives.
Drive continuous improvement through performance tuning, cost optimization, observability, and operational resilience enhancements for OT workloads.

Qualifications and Experience

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science/Engineering, Data Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related field.
A Master’s degree is preferred; exposure to OT systems is considered an advantage.
10–15 years of experience in data engineering/ETL, with demonstrated exposure to OT/industrial data environments.
Proven experience in designing ingestion from historians/OT systems and delivering analytics-ready OT datasets at an enterprise scale.

Work Environment

This is a full-time position based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The successful candidate will operate within a dynamic environment, contributing to Ma'aden's strategic objectives in operational technology and data management.
