Instrument Specification: Select and integrate field instrumentation (pressure/flow/temp/level, analyzers, control valves, VFDs) to ensure optimal performance, accuracy, and environmental compatibility.
Field Support & Troubleshooting: Provide direct, hands-on support for controls implementation, including field walkdowns, loop checks, calibration, and commissioning.
Cross-Functional Coordination: Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, and structural teams to integrate power, grounding, and layout constraints into safe, constructable designs.
Configuration Management: Maintain strict configuration control, generating accurate redlines, as-builts, and turnover documentation.
We’d Love to Hear From Candidates With:
Experience: 5+ years proven experience in I&C design, troubleshooting, and support of facility/process control systems.
Technical Knowledge: Strong understanding of PLC/DCS/SCADA systems, instrumentation specification, and industrial control networking.
Regulated Environment Familiarity: Experience working in highly regulated industries (e.g., nuclear, chemical, defense) with a strong,, proactive safety culture.
Technical Tools: Proficiency in engineering software for drawing creation and documentation (e.g., AutoCAD, SmartPlant, or similar).
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, or a related field.
