Key accountabilities include:
Leading the execution of instrumentation and control engineering activities on assigned projects or project scopes.
Supporting project planning and delivery, including participation in relevant meetings, preparation of progress reports, and compliance with required checking and quality assurance procedures.
Ensuring project scope is clearly defined and that changes are managed in accordance with project change management processes.
Providing technical input and support during procurement, construction, and commissioning phases, including:
Preparation and review of requisitions
Technical bid evaluations
Review of vendor documentation and purchase orders
Coordinating instrumentation engineering activities with multidisciplinary teams (process, electrical, mechanical, piping, automation) to ensure integrated project delivery.
Identifying and resolving discrepancies between Client and client standards and requirements.
Supporting the development and technical review of instrumentation engineering deliverables.
Providing guidance and technical support to intermediate and junior engineers and designers as required.
Communicating effectively with internal teams, clients, and project stakeholders.
Proactively identifying technical issues and risks, developing appropriate solutions, and escalating when needed.
Technical & Industry Experience
