Lead the design and technical development of control, automation, and instrumentation systems for industrial and infrastructure facilities.
Develop control philosophies, system architectures, I/O lists, logic diagrams, instrument datasheets, cause & effect matrices, and P&ID reviews.
Design and specify field instruments, control panels, marshalling cabinets, junction boxes, and system communication networks (Ethernet/IP, Modbus, Profibus, etc.).
Define project design strategies and ensure compliance with IEC, ISA, NFPA, ATEX, and client-specific standards.
Control & Automation Expertise
Provide expert input on PLC, DCS, and SCADA system design, programming, and integration.
Support configuration and programming of major automation platforms (e.g., Siemens, ABB, Schneider, Allen-Bradley, Emerson).
Review and validate control logic, alarm management, interlocks, and safety instrumented systems (SIS).
Ensure compliance with instrumentation calibration, loop checking, and control system validation requirements.
Project & Client Management
Act as the technical lead for I&C engineering scopes within multidisciplinary projects.
Coordinate with process, electrical, and mechanical teams to ensure fully integrated control and instrumentation solutions.
Prepare and review technical documentation, functional specifications, and test procedures.
Support project managers with scheduling, budgeting, progress reporting, and resource allocation for I&C deliverables.
Oversee the integration of instrumentation layouts and cable routing within 3D plant models using Revit MEP or AutoCAD Plant 3D.
Participate in clash detection, interdisciplinary coordination, and digital model reviews.
Promote the use of CDE platforms (BIM 360, ACC, Aconex) for collaborative design and document control.
Construction, Testing & Commissioning Support
Provide senior-level site support for installation, pre-commissioning, and commissioning of I&C systems.
Review vendor drawings and respond to technical clarifications during construction.
