The Instrumentation & Electrical (I&E) Technician is responsible for installing, maintaining, troubleshooting, and repairing electrical systems and process instrumentation to ensure safe, reliable, and efficient plant operations. This role supports production by minimizing downtime and ensuring equipment operates within design specifications, particularly in high-hazard industrial environments such as oil & gas and chemical processing facilities.

Instrumentation

• Install, calibrate, and maintain process instrumentation (pressure, temperature, flow, level, analyzers)
• Troubleshoot and repair control systems, transmitters, control valves, and field devices
• Perform loop checks, functional testing, and instrument verification
• Maintain and update calibration records and documentation
• Support PLC/DCS systems and field instrumentation integration

Electrical

• Install, maintain, and troubleshoot electrical systems (motors, MCCs, VFDs, power distribution)
• Diagnose and repair electrical faults in industrial equipment
• Read and interpret electrical schematics, P&IDs, and wiring diagrams
• Perform preventative maintenance on electrical systems
• Support new equipment installations and commissioning

Maintenance & Reliability

• Execute preventive and predictive maintenance programs
• Participate in root cause analysis and reliability improvement initiatives
• Assist in troubleshooting complex process upsets in continuous operations
• Maintain spare parts and inventory for critical instrumentation and electrical components

Safety & Compliance

• Follow all safety policies, procedures, and lockout/tagout (LOTO) requirements
• Ensure compliance with applicable codes and standards (e.g., NEC, NFPA, ISA)
• Work safely in hazardous (classified) environments (Class I, Div 1/2)
• Participate in process safety programs (e.g., MOC, PHA, HAZOP support)
• Maintain a clean and organized work environment

Education & Experience

• Associate degree or technical certification in Instrumentation, Electrical Technology, or related field (preferred)
• 3–7+ years of industrial maintenance experience in oil & gas, petrochemical, or chemical manufacturing environments strongly preferred
• Experience supporting continuous process operations with critical uptime requirements
• Experience with PLC systems such as Allen-Bradley PLC or Siemens PLC preferred

Industry-Specific Experience (Oil & Gas / Chemicals)

• Hands-on experience with process instrumentation in hydrocarbon or chemical service
• Familiarity with hazardous area classifications, intrinsically safe systems, and explosion-proof equipment
• Experience maintaining and troubleshooting:
• Control valves and positioners
• Gas analyzers and detection systems
• Flow measurement devices (Coriolis, ultrasonic, DP)
• Pressure and temperature transmitters in critical service
• Exposure to distributed control systems (DCS) used in refining or chemical plants
• Understanding of process safety management (PSM) environments
• Experience working around:
• High-pressure systems
• Flammable/combustible materials
• Corrosive chemicals

Technical Skills

• Strong understanding of electrical systems (low and medium voltage)
• Knowledge of instrumentation calibration and control systems
• Ability to use diagnostic tools (multimeters, loop calibrators, meggers)
• Familiarity with SCADA/DCS systems
• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings and…
