Job Description :

Our client is recruiting a senior instrumentation engineer or senior instrumentation technologist to design their Energy Management Information System package. Currently, they have a software application that can use electricity and natural gas consumption data as well as other variables such as outdoor air temperature, pressure, temperature, flow rates, production, etc. of different boundaries, frequencies, and start / end date to develop an energy model and determine which variables are impacting energy usage. The software also provides analytics and reporting on energy usage. They would like to integrate hardware to add the data capture and control functionality. Data capture should be sent to a central gateway / hub first that is installed in the facility before being transmitted to our cloud software solution.

Our client is looking for a senior instrumentation engineer to do the following :

• Research, review, recommend and specify instrumentation components such as sensors, meters, controllers, transmitters and data gateways.
• Review existing industrial client energy management information systems and recommend improvements based on their scope, budget and timeline including cost-benefit analysis and feasibility studies.
• Provide input into energy analytics and reporting software improvements based on personal and client feedback.
• Test and commission the hardware and system integration components at industrial client facilities.
• Support ongoing energy and other data capture and energy management information system performance.
• Develop schematics, diagrams and layouts using CAD software.
• Develop and review single line diagrams (SLD), process flow diagrams (PFD) and piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&ID) based on on-site visit findings and review of other documents.
• Review and approve instrumentation and control system design documents including specifications, drawings and calculations.
• Ensure projects are finished on schedule and budget working together with the rest of the engineering team, project team and clients.
• Develop and present technical reports and presentations to clients, stakeholders and internal team members.
