Instrumentation Engineer at Engineering Automation Technology Limited (EATECH)

Key Duties/Responsibilities:

Design and Specification of Instruments and Systems

• Selection and Specification: Choosing appropriate instruments, control systems, and components based on the project requirements (temperature, pressure, flow, level sensors, etc.).
• System Design: Designing instrumentation layouts and control systems, including wiring diagrams, P&ID (Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams), and loop diagrams.
• Control Strategies: Designing control strategies for complex systems, ensuring proper integration between various devices and equipment.

Installation and Commissioning

• Installation Planning: Overseeing the installation of instrumentation systems, ensuring they are set up according to specifications and safety standards.
• Commissioning: Ensuring that all instruments and systems are functioning properly, performing tests, calibration, and adjustments.
• Documentation: Creating detailed documentation on installation procedures, system configurations, and equipment for future reference.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

• Routine Maintenance: Developing and implementing maintenance schedules for the instruments and control systems to ensure they are in proper working condition.
• Troubleshooting: Diagnosing and fixing faults in control systems and instruments, using tools like PLCs (programmable logic controllers) and SCADA systems to identify issues.
• Calibration: Regularly calibrating instruments to ensure accuracy and precision.

System Integration and Automation

• Automation Control Systems: Designing and integrating automated control systems to optimize process performance (e.g., Distributed Control Systems (DCS), SCADA).
• Communication Protocols: Ensuring seamless communication between field instruments, PLCs, and control systems using industry-standard communication protocols (Modbus, HART, Profibus, etc.).

Process Optimization and Control

• Performance Analysis: Analyzing data from instruments to monitor the performance of the system and suggest improvements.
• Process Control: Implementing feedback control loops (PID controllers) and other strategies to optimize system performance, ensuring desired parameters are maintained.

Compliance and Safety

• Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring that instrumentation and control systems comply with relevant industry standards, regulations, and safety codes (e.g., ISA, IEC).
• Safety Instrumented Systems: Designing and implementing safety systems (e.g., emergency shutdown systems, SIL-rated systems) to prevent accidents and ensure safe operation.

Requirements, Qualifications, and Skills:

• Bachelor's in Engineering or any related technological field.
• 3 to 5 years of relevant work experience with instrumentation, especially in the oil and gas industry.
• Proven technical and analytical skills to quickly investigate and resolve issues with instruments, valves, and other field devices.
• Experience with the oil and gas environments.
• Demonstrate knowledge of validation requirements for field instruments.
