Senior Instrumentation Engineer
Other Engineering
As a Senior Instrumentation Engineer, you work on designing, modifying, and optimizing measurement and control systems within industrial brownfield environments.
You work on modifications, expansions, and replacements of existing installations. In doing so, you translate process information and existing field situations into reliable instrumentation solutions that are safe, practically feasible, and integrate well into the existing plant. The projects are primarily located in heavy industry, water treatment, tank terminals, and refineries, where installations operate continuously and modifications must be carefully integrated.
Within projects, you work under the direction of a senior engineer, discipline lead, or project manager, but you are responsible for your own instrumentation scope. You coordinate with process engineers, electrical engineers, automation engineers, and suppliers to arrive at an integrated design. The work consists primarily of engineering at the office, with opportunity for working from home (approximately 80/20), supplemented by site surveys, field checks, and project meetings on location.
Responsibilities:
- Design and specify field instrumentation, including pressure, level, flow, and temperature measurements, control valves, and analyzers.
- Prepare and maintain instrument datasheets, instrument indexes, and I/O lists.
- Design instrument loops, hook-ups, field cabling, and junction box connections.
- Review and align P&IDs, control narratives, and cause & effect diagrams.
- Prepare FEED, Basic Engineering, and Detailed Engineering documentation for instrumentation systems.
- Select and technically evaluate supplier instrumentation and review vendor documentation.
- Integrate new instrumentation into existing installations, including interfaces with DCS and PLC systems.
- Conduct site surveys, field inspections, and assessments of existing installations.
- Prepare, review, and manage revisions and as-built documentation.
- Identify field risks, deviations, and practical feasibility considerations within brownfield installations.
