Full time Posted:
The Lead Instrumentation and Controls Engineer owns the end-to-end instrumentation and controls design of integrated gas skid and station solutions that support safe, reliable fuel-gas supply for mission-critical data center gas power infrastructure. Fuel gas skids and station solutions include fuel gas conditioning skids, gas flow metering skids, pressure regulation and monitoring skids and gas composition analysis stations. This role delivers safe, reliable, constructible, and cost-effective designs for large projects.

The engineer integrates gas metering, pressure regulation, gas-quality analysis, fixed gas detection, flow computing, and process instrumentation to ensure dependable fuel-gas supply, accurate energy measurement, protection of critical equipment, and continuous operational visibility.

Success in this role is demonstrated through delivering complete and accurate design packages on schedule while ensuring compliance with customer, safety, quality, and regulatory requirements; minimizing design-related rework during fabrication, installation, and commissioning; effectively managing technical risk, scope, cost, schedule, and interfaces; achieving successful factory and site acceptance with reliable system performance; and driving continuous improvements through standardization, design reuse, and enhanced engineering efficiency.

You will report directly to our General Manager and you’ll work out of our Houston, TX location on a Hybrid work schedule.
