The Mid-Level Instrumentation Supervisor plays a critical role in overseeing the maintenance, calibration, and reliability of all instrumentation and control systems across the power plant. The role requires hands-on supervision of field teams, coordination with engineering and operations departments, and technical expertise to ensure optimal plant performance.
Team Supervision – Lead and coordinate junior technicians in routine and corrective maintenance tasks.
Instrument Reliability – Ensure consistent performance of instrumentation systems through effective fault diagnosis and troubleshooting.
DCS/PLC Coordination – Collaborate with automation teams to ensure proper signal flow, loop integrity, and system response in DCS/PLC environments.
Shutdown & Turnaround Planning – Plan and supervise instrumentation activities during outages and critical plant maintenance periods.
Preventive & Predictive Maintenance – Implement structured schedules using CMMS to reduce unplanned downtimes.
Standards Compliance – Ensure all work complies with safety protocols, ISO standards, and regulatory requirements.
Technical Documentation – Maintain as-built drawings, calibration certificates, and maintenance logs accurately.
Vendor & Contractor Liaison – Coordinate with third-party service providers and equipment vendors for advanced repairs or upgrades.
Supervise day-to-day instrumentation maintenance and ensure work is executed safely and efficiently.
Diagnose and resolve complex faults in transmitters, control valves, analyzers, and field devices.
Conduct loop checking, interlock testing, and validation for system upgrades or equipment replacements.
Support the configuration and calibration of smart field devices using HART, FF, or similar protocols.
Monitor spare parts inventory and raise requisitions to avoid operational delays.
Provide training and mentorship to junior technicians.
Review and approve maintenance reports and inspection records.
Participate in Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for instrumentation failures.
Bachelor’s Degree or Diploma in Instrumentation, Electronics, or Control Engineering.
4–7 years of instrumentation experience in power generation or process-intensive industries.
Strong technical knowledge of pressure, temperature, flow, level sensors, and control systems (DCS/PLC).
Experience with maintenance management systems (e.g., SAP, Maximo) is preferred.
Familiarity with industry standards like ISA, IEC, or API.
Proven leadership in field instrumentation activities.
Strong problem-solving and root cause analysis capabilities.
Good planning and coordination skills.
Effective communication and technical writing.
High safety awareness and compliance mindset.
