47 Burrow Global Project Management Jobs Hiring Near You

Burrow Global is seeking to hire two (2) results-driven Instrumentation Engineers for a long term in-plant assignment with a petrochemical plant in Deer Park, TX.

The successful candidate will design, implement, commission, and maintain instrumentation systems that monitor and control chemical processes. This role ensures safe, reliable, and efficient operation of plant facilities in compliance with industry standards and company procedures.

Key Responsibilities:

- Design, specify, and select instrumentation and control hardware (P&ID development/support, field devices, control valves, actuators, transmitters, receivers, PLC, DCS, ESD, SIS) for petrochemical processes.

- Develop and maintain process control philosophies, instrumentation standards, tagging conventions, datasheets, and instrument index (I/I+T) standards in alignment with project and site requirements.

- Create and review instrument specifications, datasheets, installation drawings, loop diagrams (P&IDs), cable schedules, instrument lists, and calibration procedures.

- Perform instrument sizing and control valve calculations, including flow, pressure, temperature, and process performance considerations.

- Participate in hazard and operability studies (HAZOP/HAZID) and ensure instrumentation integrity for safety-critical systems (SIS, ESG/EFS, F&G).

- Lead instrument design deliverables for new plants, debottlenecks, debottlenecking studies, and revamps; support front-end loading (FEL) and detail design phases.

- Develop and execute FAT/SAT, commissioning test plans, and startup assistance for instrumentation systems.

- Configure and adjust PLC/DCS systems, create control logic, and implement instrumentation calibration and maintenance strategies.

- Support instrument loop checking, commissioning, and FAT/SAT, including instrument loop check sheets and commissioning handover packages.

- Establish and monitor maintenance plans for instrumentation assets (calibration schedules, preventive maintenance, spares management, retrofit planning).

- Collaborate with process engineers, electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, safety engineers, and operations to optimize process performance and reliability.

- Review and approve engineering deliverables and MOC requests impacting instrumentation and provide input for risk assessments and change control.

- Participate in project scheduling, cost estimation, and procurement activities for instrumentation equipment and services.

- Maintain as-built documentation, vendor data, technical manuals, and CMMS entries; ensure accurate instrument tagging and data integrity.

- Support incident investigations (RCIs) related to instrumentation and provide root-cause analysis and corrective actions.

Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in chemical, Mechanical, Electrical, Instrumentation, or a related Engineering discipline. Advanced coursework or certifications in instrumentation, control systems, or process safety are a plus.

Experience: 7+ years of experience in instrumentation and control within the petrochemical, oil & gas, or refining industries.

Experience with capital projects, plant commissioning, or operations is required

Active TWIC Card is required.

Knowledge:

- Strong understanding of process control concepts, instrument types (transmitters, gauges, switches, controllers), and control strategies (SIS, ESC, DCS/PLC, PI systems).

- Familiarity with P&IDs, loop diagrams, instrument index, BOMs, and calibration procedures.

- Baseline knowledge of electrical systems and safety instrumented systems (SIS) lifecycle.

- Awareness of hazard analysis methods (HAZOP/HAZID) and risk-based approach to instrumentation design.

- Proficiency with standards and codes: IEC 61511/61508, ISA standards, API standards relevant to instrumentation and process safety, NFPA, IECEx/ATEX (where applicable).

Skills:

- Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities; attention to detail.

- Proficient in using engineering software: AutoCAD for drawings, PFD/P&ID software, instrument data sheets, valve sizing tools, and control system software (e.g., Delta V, ABB PLCs.

- Data management and document control proficiency; ability to manage datasheets, calibration records, and commissioning documentation.

- Excellent written and verbal communication; ability to prepare technical reports, specs, and commissioning procedures.

- Project management and coordination skills; capability to work cross-functionally in a multidisciplinary team.

Personal Attributes:

- Safety-focused mindset with commitment to process safety and risk management.

- Self-motivated, organized, and capable of handling multiple tasks and priorities.

- Willingness to travel to project sites and perform on-site installation, testing, and commissioning as required.

Physical and Working Conditions:

- Work environment may include office, plant site, and field locations with exposure to noise, chemicals, and varying temperatures.

- Ability to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) as required by site policies.
