Process Instrumentation Supervisor – Mixing/Baking/Cooking

The Junior Process Instrumentation Supervisor supports the installation, calibration, and maintenance of field instruments used in mixing, baking, and cooking systems. This role ensures equipment such as temperature, pressure, flow, and level sensors are accurate, reliable, and compliant with food safety standards. The position involves hands-on work under the guidance of senior supervisors and engineers.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Instrumentation Support & Maintenance

• Assist in the routine inspection, calibration, and preventive maintenance of process instruments used in mixing and cooking lines.

• Monitor equipment like RTDs, thermocouples, load cells, pressure transmitters, and flow meters.

• Ensure sensor outputs are accurate and properly looped to control systems (PLC/SCADA).

2. Installation & Commissioning Assistance

• Support the installation of new instruments and assist with wiring, tagging, and documentation.

• Work under senior supervision to help during equipment upgrades or plant expansions.

• Verify proper setup during commissioning of automated cooking, mixing, and baking equipment.

3. Compliance & Food Safety Practices

• Follow GMP, HACCP, and FDA/FSMA-compliant practices while handling food-grade instrumentation.

• Use food-safe tools and materials and maintain hygienic work areas during interventions.

4. Troubleshooting & Reporting

• Assist in basic fault diagnosis and troubleshooting of sensor failures or signal inconsistencies.

• Document maintenance logs and report issues to senior team members for escalation.

5. Cross-Functional Coordination

• Coordinate with operations and quality assurance teams to minimize downtime during maintenance.

• Participate in training programs related to instrumentation safety, calibration techniques, and process control basics.

Key Focus Areas:

• Support calibration and maintenance of field instruments in mixing/baking/cooking processes

• Food-grade compliance and GMP adherence

• Instrument installation and commissioning assistance

• Hands-on experience with temperature, pressure, level, and flow sensors

• Basic troubleshooting and loop checking

• Cross-department collaboration and reporting

Qualifications:

• Diploma or B.Tech in Instrumentation, Electronics, or Mechatronics Engineering

• 1–3 years of experience in process instrumentation (internship or junior role preferred)

• Familiarity with food-grade plant equipment and basic automation concepts

• Exposure to PLC, SCADA, or DCS interfaces is an advantage

• Knowledge of calibration standards, test tools (multimeter, loop calibrator, etc.)
