Control and Automation Lead Engineer

Automation Engineering Leadership for Offshore Modules

• Lead automation scope across FEED, detailed engineering, and module integration phases
• Define control architecture considering offshore constraints (space, redundancy, modularization, operability)

• Provide technical leadership across multi-module and multi-vendor environments

Compressor Control System Engineering

• Lead design and validation of compressor control for offshore applications:

o Anti-surge control

o Load sharing across multi-compressor trains

o Start-up/ shutdown and emergency sequences

• Ensure reliable operation under transient and variable offshore process conditions
• Coordinate with factory and control system vendor on all control related topics, tie-ins and documentation

Ownership of Key Engineering Deliverables(Module Integration Focus)

Accountable for development and review of:

• Control Philosophy aligned with offshore operability and safety
• Cause & Effect diagrams (ESD / F&G / PSD integration)
• Control Narratives for compressor and package systems
• ICSS / DCS system architecture for modular plants
• Interface definitions between modules, skids, and vendor systems
• Alarm philosophy for remote / offshore operations
• FAT/SAT of control system, field instrumentation and offshore commissioning documentation

Vendor & Package Integration (Multi-Skid /Offshore / FPSO Environment)

• Lead interface with compressor OEMs, control system supplier and packaged equipment suppliers

• Manage integration of multiple control systems across:

o Compressor & Gas Turbine skids

o Utility and process modules comprising of air coolers, nitrogen package, gas treatment package

o Electrical and safety systems

• Ensure alignment with ICSS integration strategy and offshore communication architecture

Field Instrumentation & Instrumentation Engineering

• Lead development and review of key instrumentation deliverables including instrument index, I/O list, datasheets, specifications, hook-ups, installation details, cable/JB schedules, layouts, wiring/interconnection diagrams, loop diagrams, cause & effect diagrams, philosophies, narratives and design basis till as-built updates.
• Ensure proper selection, specification and requisition of field instruments such as pressure, temperature, flow and level instruments, control/on-off/actuated valves, analyzers, metering skids and package instrumentation.
• Verify instrument suitability for hazardous area classification, environmental/process conditions, operability and maintainability.

Technical Safety, Workshops, Site &Offshore Project Support

• Ensure compliance with offshore project requirements:

o Functional safety (ESD, SIL)

o Availability, redundancy, and maintainability

• Support HAZOP, SIL, Alarm management, model reviews, and constructability reviews, participation and close-out

• Provide support during mechanical completion, pre-commissioning, offshore commissioning, & start-up

Experience Requirements
