- Attend or chair meetings with contractors, vendors for work scope clarification, permits to work systems compliance, schedule updates, working methodology planning, and any other contractual matters as required.
- Any other associated tasks and responsibilities assigned from time to time by the organization.
Control Systems Expertise:
- Designing, developing, and implementing control systems for automated processes, including Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Distributed Control Systems (DCS), and Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs).
- Ensuring that various components of a control system work together seamlessly and integrate with other systems within the project.
- Diagnosing and resolving issues with control systems, providing technical support, and ensuring systems are maintained for optimal performance.
Documentation and Reporting:
- Creating and maintaining technical documentation, including specifications, drawings, and reports, and providing regular updates on project status.
Team Leadership:
- Guiding and mentoring engineering teams, providing technical guidance, and fostering collaboration.
Safety and Compliance:
- Ensuring that control systems are designed and operated in accordance with safety regulations and industry standards.
