  • Control valves and regulators.
  • Flow measurement devices (e.g., orifice plates, mag meters, etc.).
  • Thermowells and other field instruments.
• Apply knowledge of measurement technologies and control strategies to select appropriate instrumentation for process variables such as pressure, temperature, flow, level, and analytical measurements.
• Develop control system design criteria, functional specifications, and system requirements in alignment with project and client standards.
• Participate in process safety activities, including Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) studies and design reviews, and incorporate findings into control system design.
• Lead procurement support activities for I&C scope, including:
  • Development of technical specifications and RFQ documentation.
  • Technical bid evaluations and vendor selection support.
  • Review and approval of vendor submittals.
• Coordinate with control system vendors and third-party suppliers to ensure compliance with project requirements, including participation in Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) and Site Acceptance Tests (SAT).
• Perform quality reviews of engineering deliverables to ensure compliance with applicable codes, standards, and company procedures.
• Provide technical support during construction, installation, and commissioning phases, including field inspections and issue resolution.
• Lead field investigations, site visits, and data collection efforts for both new and existing facilities.
• Provide leadership, mentorship, and technical guidance to assistant and staff engineers:
  • Delegate work assignments and review deliverables.
  • Support technical development and knowledge sharing within the team.
• Coordinate effectively with other engineering and architectural disciplines to ensure a cohesive and integrated design approach.
• Prepare and present technical reports, studies, and documentation for clients and internal stakeholders.
• Ensure compliance with company, client, and site safety policies.

• Bachelor Degree in Electrical, Mechanical or Chemical Engineering or related degree from an ABET accredited program and 7 years electrical engineering experience, EPC project experience preferred OR Bachelor Degree in Electrical, Mechanical or Chemical Engineering Technology from an ABET accredited program and successful completion of Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam and 7 years electrical engineering experience, EPC project experience preferred OR Master Degree in Electrical Engineering and 6 years electrical engineering experience. EPC project experience preferred. 
• Expert knowledge in standard engineering techniques and procedures. Strong knowledge of electrical equipment design ANSI and IEEE Standards. Strong computer skills (e.g. Microsoft Office Suite).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Experience with leading the discipline design for large projects and delegating work tasks to team members. Ability to lead execution of work and resolve issues in a team environment.
• Demonstrated critical thinking skills, ability to work methodically and analytically in a quantitative problem-solving environment.
• Strong attention to detail, facilitation, team building, collaboration, organization and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to perform quality reviews for detailed engineering documents and specifications.
• Ability to travel. 
• Must have or be able to obtain a Transportation Worker Identification Card (TWIC).
• Professional Engineer (PE) License Preferred

Preferred: 

• Demonstrated experience serving in a client-facing technical role and leading I&C discipline design efforts on multi-disciplinary projects.
