This position is ideal for an engineer who combines strong system-level expertise with hands-on experience and thrives in dynamic project environments.

What You Will Be Doing

Here’s an overview of your responsibilities and how you can leverage your expertise:

Perform site assessments and evaluate existing instrumentation and control systems to define scope, risks, and technical approach
Specify and select field instrumentation including flow, pressure, temperature, level, density, and analytical measurement devices.
Develop control system designs, including system architecture, control philosophies, and functional specifications (PLC/DCS/SCADA)
Design, configure, and support PLC, DCS, and HMI/SCADA systems, including control logic, interlocks, and alarm management strategies
Prepare and maintain engineering deliverables such as instrument datasheets, material requisitions, control narratives, I/O lists, control system architecture diagrams, and functional design specifications
Coordinate control system integration, including I/O assignments, communications, and interfaces with third-party systems
Support procurement activities by reviewing vendor packages, technical submittals, and FAT documentation
Collaborate with process, electrical, mechanical, and construction teams to ensure alignment between control strategies and system design
Provide field support during construction, commissioning, and start-up, including instrument calibration, system checkout, loop verification, troubleshooting, and performance validation
Develop and execute commissioning and acceptance documentation, including FAT/SAT procedures and system turnover documentation
Ensure control systems are implemented and commissioned in accordance with project requirements, standards, and best practices
