• Lead all instrumentation-related pre-commissioning and commissioning activities on site.
  


• Perform and supervise the calibration of field instrumentation, including pressure, temperature and other process instruments.
  


• Perform the initialization, testing and calibration of actuators and control valves.
  


• Execute and coordinate loop checks between field instrumentation, control systems and associated equipment.
  


• Support the pre-commissioning and commissioning of rotating equipment from an instrumentation and control perspective.
  


• Verify instrument installation and configuration against approved project documentation and technical specifications.
  


• Identify discrepancies during testing and coordinate the implementation of corrective actions with the relevant engineering and site teams.
  


• Read and interpret E&I documentation, including logic diagrams, wiring diagrams, loop diagrams and instrumentation hook-ups.
  


• Read and interpret relevant process and piping documentation, including P&IDs, isometrics and associated technical documents.
  


• Support pre-commissioning activities such as P&ID checks, blowing, flushing and inerting when instrumentation interfaces are involved.
  


• Coordinate closely with the DCS team during loop testing, functional checks and control system integration.
  


• Support the commissioning of electrical shelters and associated E&I equipment when required.
  


• Ensure that all instrumentation checks and commissioning activities are performed in accordance with approved procedures, project requirements and applicable quality standards.
  


• Complete and maintain all quality and commissioning documentation related to on-site instrumentation checks and tests.
  


• Monitor progress of instrumentation activities and provide clear reporting on completed works, outstanding issues and required actions.
  


• Contribute to the planning and coordination of commissioning activities.
  


• Work autonomously while maintaining effective cooperation with the wider site and commissioning teams.
