Senior I&C Project Engineer — DCS​/SIS & Commissioning

• Provide technical authority (SME) for instrumentation, controls, and automation
• Lead complex design, project execution, and lifecycle integrity for refinery systems

Design & Project Leadership (Primary Focus)

• Lead instrumentation design for major capital projects ($MM–$B scale)
• Develop and approve:
• SIS/SIL design and safeguarding strategies
• Perform control valve sizing, instrument selection, and system architecture design
• Ensure full integration of field instrumentation with DCS / PLC / SIS systems
• Provide technical oversight from FEL ? detailed design ? construction ? commissioning

* Senior instrumentation engineers are responsible for full lifecycle design, specifications, and documentation for control systems and instrumentation.

Project Experience (Required)

• Demonstrated experience leading instrumentation scope on:
• DCS migrations / control system upgrades
• SIS implementations or lifecycle upgrades (SIL compliance)
• New unit builds or major revamps (brownfield/greenfield)
• Tank farm, pipeline, and terminal automation projects
• Experience coordinating with EPCs, OEMs, and multidisciplinary teams
• Strong role in design reviews, FAT/SAT, commissioning, and startup

Core Responsibilities
