- Review vendor documentation, support technical bid evaluations, respond to technical queries, and help confirm equipment and package compliance with project requirements.
- Support factory acceptance testing, site acceptance testing when needed.
- Help ensure project deliverables comply with company engineering practices, applicable industry codes and standards, and site-specific requirements.
- Contribute to continuous improvement by identifying design, constructability, operability, and maintainability enhancements during project development and execution.
- Develop, capture, and communicate ICS lessons learned from project execution to support continuous improvement and improve future project quality and predictability.
- Promote safe work practices and reinforce expectations for technically sound, practical, and sustainable project solutions.
- Successfully manage competing priorities and multiple assignments simultaneously while maintaining focus on business value and technical quality.
- Remain accountable for managing time, meeting commitments, and delivering clear, practical, and technically sound recommendations.

- 10 or more years of petrochemical experience
- Demonstrated experience with industrial instrumentation and control systems in refining or similar process industries
- Working knowledge of instrumentation fundamentals, including pressure, temperature, flow, level, analytical systems, final control elements, and control system interfaces
- Working knowledge of industrial control systems, including DCS and SIS architecture and configuration, PLC-based systems, logic diagrams, control narratives, cause-and-effect documentation, and control network diagrams
- Experience supporting capital, maintenance, or turnaround projects through design and execution
- Ability to work across functions and communicate effectively with engineering, operations, maintenance, procurement, and construction stakeholders
- Familiarity with applicable engineering drawings and documentation such as P&IDs, loop diagrams, logic diagrams, and related project records
- Coordinating the MOC evaluation process for assigned projects
