We are seeking a skilled and experienced Mid-Level Control Valve Engineer to support the full lifecycle of control valve systems in our industrial operations. This role involves the specification, design, calibration, and troubleshooting of control valves used in critical process systems. The ideal candidate will collaborate with project, maintenance, and instrumentation teams to ensure valve performance meets safety, reliability, and operational goals.
Select and size control valves, actuators, and accessories based on process data, flow requirements, and system dynamics.
Prepare and review valve datasheets, technical specifications, material requisitions, and compliance checklists.
Support process engineers in defining control valve roles within control loops, ensuring compatibility with process conditions.
Evaluate and approve vendor drawings, calculations, and product certifications.
Ensure that vendor-supplied valves meet the project specifications and industry standards (API, ISA, ASME, IEC).
Assist procurement and QA/QC teams in technical bid evaluations and quality inspections.
Witness and conduct valve factory acceptance tests (FAT), seat leakage tests, calibration, and actuator performance verification.
Support hydrostatic and pneumatic testing for control valves and associated assemblies.
Review test certificates, inspection records, and conformity reports.
Provide technical support during installation, hook-up, commissioning, and loop checking of control valve systems.
Troubleshoot performance issues during startup and advise on corrective actions or tuning adjustments.
Collaborate with control system teams to ensure optimal valve-controller integration.
Analyze valve failure modes and contribute to root cause investigations and corrective actions.
Develop and update preventive maintenance programs for control valves.
Support reliability and asset integrity initiatives related to valve performance.
Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical, Mechatronics, or Instrumentation Engineering.
3–6 years of relevant experience in control valve engineering in oil & gas, petrochemical, power, or similar industries.
Experience working with control valve manufacturers, EPC contractors, or plant maintenance teams.
Strong knowledge of control valve sizing, cavitation, noise, flow coefficients, and actuator selection.
Familiarity with standards such as API 6D, 598, 527, 623; ISA S75; ASME B16.34.
Proficient in using control valve sizing software (e.g., Fisher Specification Manager, Samson, ValSpeQ).
Understanding of P&IDs, loop diagrams, and instrumentation integration.
Strong analytical and diagnostic skills.
Effective communication and documentation abilities.
Team-oriented with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
API/ISA certifications (e.g., ISA Certified Automation Professional or Valve Technician training).
Basic safety and commissioning certifications (e.g., OSHA, LOTO, Permit to Work).
