Instrumentation Engineer

About the role

This is a core engineering role on process-plant and EPC projects. You'll be responsible for the design, specification and engineering of instrumentation and control systems — producing accurate, code-compliant deliverables to schedule, and working closely with the process, piping, electrical and control-system teams.

It's a role for an engineer with strong technical judgement who is comfortable owning deliverables end to end: sizing and selecting field instruments, preparing the full document set, interfacing with control-system vendors, and responding to client and consultant comments within agreed timelines.

What you'll do

• Prepare and maintain the instrument index, I/O lists and instrument specifications.
• Prepare instrument datasheets and carry out sizing of control valves, flow elements and other field instruments.
• Prepare instrument location layouts, hook-up drawings, loop diagrams, cable schedules and junction-box schedules.
• Review P&IDs and take part in P&ID reviews, HAZOP and SIL assessments as required.
• Prepare material requisitions, carry out technical bid evaluations and review vendor documents.
• Coordinate with control-system vendors on DCS, PLC and Safety Instrumented System (SIS) interfaces.
• Ensure instrument selection complies with hazardous-area classification requirements.
• Interface with process, piping, electrical and civil disciplines to resolve design and interface issues.
• Respond to client and consultant comments and incorporate revisions within agreed timelines.
• Ensure compliance with applicable codes and standards — including ISA and IEC standards — as well as client specifications.

What we're looking for

• A B.E./B.Tech in Instrumentation, Electronics & Instrumentation, or a related discipline.
• Minimum 5 years of instrumentation engineering experience, preferably on EPC projects in oil & gas, petrochemical, refinery or process-plant sectors.
• A sound understanding of field instruments, control valves, analysers and control-system architecture.
• Familiarity with IEC 61511 (functional safety) and IEC 60079 (hazardous areas).
• Strong technical judgement and attention to detail.
• Good communication and coordination skills across disciplines and with vendors, and the ability to deliver under tight schedules.
• Proficiency in MS Excel and MS Office.

Nice to have

• Working knowledge of Hexagon Smart Instrumentation (formerly SmartPlant Instrumentation / INtools).
• Exposure to analyser systems and packaged-equipment instrumentation.
