- Develop control narratives, Cause & Effect (C&E) tables, BMS logic, PLC/DCS control logic, and other control-system documentation required for packaged-equipment projects.
- Prepare material requisitions, evaluate vendor offers, and finalize technical requirements for junction boxes, local control panels, CEMS, BMS/BCS PLCs, MCCs, and other specialized instrumentation and control equipment.
- Lead technical design reviews and clarification discussions with customers, coordinate with multidisciplinary engineering teams, suppliers, and global offices, and manage I&C technical interfaces across projects.
- Finalize PLC/control system requirements, review complete vendor documentation, and collaborate with suppliers to develop and finalize control logic and system functionality.
- Review I&C documentation for vendor packages such as blowers, pumps, boilers, scrubbers, and DM plants, and participate in HAZOP, SIL studies, FATs, and inspections of skids, control panels, and PLC systems at vendor locations.
- Perform self-checks, peer reviews, and design reviews to ensure engineering deliverables are accurate, constructible, maintainable, and compliant, while contributing to standardization, knowledge sharing, engineering effectiveness, and continuous improvement.
- Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Instrumentation Engineering.
- Minimum 5 years of relevant instrumentation and controls engineering experience.
- Experience developing instrumentation and controls engineering deliverables for industrial or packaged-equipment projects.
- Working knowledge of applicable instrumentation/control engineering codes, standards, and engineering practices.
- Experience working with PLC/DCS-based control systems and associated instrumentation.
- Experience in oil & gas, refining, petrochemical, chemical, power, industrial automation, process plants, EPC, combustion systems, machine building, packaged equipment, or similar industries.
- Knowledge of NFPA 85, NFPA 86, and ISO/EN 13577 requirements.
- Hands-on experience developing control narratives, Cause & Effect tables, PLC/DCS logic, and BMS-related control philosophy.
- Experience with control system/PLC design including system selection, vendor package review, FAT, and supporting vendors in finalizing control logic and system functionality.
- Experience participating in or supporting HAZOP and SIL studies, packaged-equipment I&C reviews, and vendor inspections.
- Experience implementing design automation, engineering standards, templates, or continuous improvement initiatives that improve engineering effectiveness.
- A contribution-focused mindset with curiosity, humility, openness to feedback, and willingness to learn and take on unfamiliar challenges.
