• Calibrating and configuring pressure, temperature, flow and level instrumentation.
• Testing loop checks between field instruments and DCS/PLC systems.
• Ability to simulate and verify analogue and digital signals (4-20 mA, RTDs, thermocouples).
• Strong fault-finding and troubleshooting skills in instrumentation and wiring.
• Experience supporting functional testing, alarm, interlock and cause-and-effect testing.
• Familiarity with safety procedures, permit-to-work and LOTO.

Responsibilities

• Read and interpret P&IDs, loop diagrams, wiring diagrams, and instrument datasheets.
• Inspect instrument installations, cabling, terminations, shielding and earthing.
• Calibrate and configure pressure, temperature, flow and level instrumentation.
• Perform point-to-point checks and loop checks between field instruments, junction boxes, marshalling cabinets and DCS/PLC systems.
• Simulate and verify analogue and digital signals including 4-20 mA, RTDs and thermocouples.
• Test and adjust control valves, actuators and positioners, including stroke testing and position feedback.
• Fault-find and troubleshoot instrumentation, wiring and signal discrepancies.
• Support functional testing, alarm verification, interlock testing and cause-and-effect testing.
• Use calibration and diagnostic equipment (process calibrators, pressure pumps, multimeters, HART).
• Complete calibration reports, loop test sheets, punch lists and commissioning documentation.
• Adhere to site safety, permit-to-work systems and LOTO requirements.

Job description

We are seeking experienced Instrumentation & Control Technicians with a strong industrial background, ideally within petrochemical, oil & gas, chemical or process plant environments.

Candidates must have proven experience in the following areas:

• Ability to read and interpret P&IDs, loop diagrams, wiring diagrams, hook-up drawings and instrument datasheets.
• Experience inspecting instrument installations, cabling, terminations, shielding and earthing.
• Competent in calibrating and configuring pressure, temperature, flow and level instrumentation.
• Experience carrying out point-to-point checks and loop checks between field instruments, junction boxes, marshalling cabinets and DCS/PLC systems.
• Ability to simulate and verify analogue and digital signals, including 4-20 mA, RTDs, thermocouples and discrete signals.
• Experience testing and adjusting control valves, actuators and positioners, including stroke testing and position feedback.
• Strong fault-finding and troubleshooting skills relating to instrumentation, wiring and signal discrepancies.
• Experience supporting functional testing, alarm verification, interlock testing and cause-and-effect testing.
• Proficient in using calibration and diagnostic equipment, including process calibrators, pressure pumps, multimeters and HART communicators.
• Ability to complete calibration reports, loop test sheets, punch lists and commissioning documentation.
• Good understanding of site safety procedures, permit-to-work systems and Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) requirements.

Additional Requirements:

• Previous experience working on large-scale industrial projects.
• Ability to work independently and take responsibility for assigned scopes of work.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to coordinate effectively with construction, operations and commissioning teams.
• Flexible approach to working hours and shift patterns, particularly during shutdown periods.
• Must be reliable, safety-conscious and comfortable working in a fast-paced industrial project environment
