Job Description

Roles & Responsibilities

We are seeking an experienced and proactive Mid-Level Control Systems Engineer to design, implement, and support advanced control systems in industrial environments. The role involves working across all phases of project execution — from system design and programming to site commissioning and troubleshooting. The engineer will take ownership of technical tasks and mentor junior engineers where required.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and develop control system architectures involving PLCs, DCS, SCADA, HMIs, and field instruments.

  • Program, configure, and test control systems (e.g., Siemens, Allen-Bradley, ABB, Schneider, Emerson).

  • Lead and execute Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) and Site Acceptance Tests (SAT).

  • Perform detailed I/O mapping, loop checking, and instrumentation integration.

  • Troubleshoot and optimize control logic and system performance during commissioning and operation.

  • Develop and maintain documentation, including functional design specifications (FDS), logic diagrams, wiring drawings, and user manuals.

  • Interface with cross-disciplinary teams, clients, and contractors to ensure project success.

  • Ensure compliance with industry codes and standards (e.g., ISA, IEC, NFPA, SIL, etc.).

  • Support remote diagnostics, upgrades, and maintenance of installed systems.

  • Guide and support junior engineers and technicians in project delivery.


Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Control Systems, Electrical, Electronics, Instrumentation, or Mechatronics Engineering.

  • 3–7 years of hands-on experience in control systems engineering in industries such as oil & gas, manufacturing, utilities, or process automation.

  • Proficiency in at least one major automation platform (Siemens TIA Portal, Rockwell Studio 5000, ABB 800xA, Schneider Unity Pro, etc.).

  • Strong understanding of industrial networks and protocols (e.g., Modbus, Profibus, OPC, Ethernet/IP).

  • Skilled in reading and developing P&IDs, control panel designs, wiring diagrams, and loop drawings.

  • Good understanding of process control strategies, PID tuning, alarm management, and safety instrumented systems (SIS).


Preferred Skills:

  • Experience with cybersecurity compliance and standards in control systems.

  • Familiarity with virtualization, remote monitoring, and IIoT technologies.

  • Knowledge of SCADA platforms (e.g., Wonderware, Ignition, GE iFIX, WinCC).

  • Exposure to functional safety (IEC 61508/61511), SIL calculations, or safety PLCs.

  • Strong communication, coordination, and documentation skills.
