Instrument Coach ( I&C Engineer )

Title:

The ORSU Instruments and Control Engineer will play a vital role in the design review, installation, and integration of instrumentation systems. This position involves working closely with multidisciplinary teams to implement I&C solutions that ensure safety, reliability, and efficiency throughout the project lifecycle.

Experience : Candidates should have minimum 15 years of experience.

Key Responsibilities:

• Review instrumentation specifications, datasheets, and P&IDs (Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams) tailored for oil and gas applications.
• Review and provide inputs during selection of appropriate instrumentation equipment (sensors, transmitters, control valves) based on process requirements and industry standards.

• Ensure designs comply with relevant regulations (e.g., API, IEC, ANSI) and safety standards.

• Collaborate with project managers to define project scope, schedules, and deliverables related to instrumentation.
• Oversee the installation, calibration, and commissioning of instrumentation systems in field environments.
• Provide technical guidance to project teams, contractors, and vendors throughout the project lifecycle and into Operations via Start up support and troubleshooting until Plant performance testing (PP1) is accomplished.
• Participate in hazard and operability studies (HAZOP) and safety reviews related to I&C.

• Proficiency in instrumentation design software (e.g., AutoCAD, SmartPlant Instrumentation).
• Review control system architectures, including Distributed Control Systems (DCS), Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, and other related systems.
• Attend factory acceptance tests (FAT) and site acceptance tests (SAT) to ensure systems operate correctly and meet project specifications.
• Integrate control systems with various plant systems, including machinery, sensors, and databases, ensuring proper communication and functionality.
• Work closely with automation teams to ensure that control systems interface correctly with manufacturing processes.
• Analyse control loops, automation processes, and systems to identify opportunities for performance optimization and cost reduction.
• Recommend improvements to processes, instruments, and control strategies to increase productivity, quality, and efficiency.
• Collaborate with other engineering disciplines (electrical, process engineering) to ensure the integrated design of systems.
• Provide technical support and training to operations and maintenance teams on instrumentation and control systems.
