The I&C Commissioning Supervisor is responsible for overseeing and executing the commissioning activities of instrumentation and control systems. This includes supervising field teams, coordinating with various disciplines, ensuring system readiness, conducting functional testing, and supporting the safe and efficient handover of systems to operations. The role ensures that I&C systems perform reliably and in accordance with engineering specifications, industry standards, and safety protocols.
Lead the commissioning of field instruments, control valves, PLCs, DCS, and associated systems.
Supervise loop checks, functional testing, logic verification, and interlock testing.
Ensure completion of pre-commissioning and commissioning activities in line with schedules.
Supervise I&C technicians, subcontractors, and junior engineers during commissioning tasks.
Coordinate with other departments (Electrical, Mechanical, Process) for multi-discipline integration.
Ensure compliance with project specifications and engineering drawings (P&IDs, loop diagrams).
Support Site Acceptance Tests (SAT) and final commissioning with vendors and client representatives.
Troubleshoot instrumentation issues, communication problems, and control logic errors.
Validate input/output signals, alarm handling, and system responses per design criteria.
Enforce safety procedures including Lockout-Tagout (LOTO), PTW (Permit to Work), and risk assessments.
Conduct toolbox talks and ensure I&C commissioning is performed in accordance with HSE guidelines.
Identify and address any unsafe practices or non-compliance incidents.
Maintain accurate records of commissioning activities, redline drawings, and punch lists.
Compile and submit commissioning dossiers and system handover documentation.
Ensure all test results and calibration certificates are documented and approved.
Proficiency in commissioning of control systems (PLC/DCS/SCADA).
Hands-on experience with HART, Foundation Fieldbus, Modbus, and analog/digital instrumentation.
Ability to interpret and work from P&IDs, loop diagrams, wiring schematics, and logic diagrams.
Strong supervisory, communication, and coordination skills.
Sound troubleshooting ability and familiarity with industrial automation systems.
Diploma or Bachelor’s Degree in Instrumentation, Electronics, or Electrical Engineering.
7–10 years of experience in I&C commissioning in industrial projects.
Exposure to sectors such as oil & gas, power generation, petrochemicals, or infrastructure.
Familiarity with commissioning software tools and management systems (e.g., CMS, SmartPlant).
Valid safety certifications (H2S, LOTO, Confined Space) are preferred for site-based roles.
