Job description

The Process & Instrumentation Engineer will be responsible for performing in-depth manufacturing process audits focused on critical production equipment and processes, especially in: furnace gas-combustion systems, steel rolling-forging, and heat treatment process. This role will also drive process optimization, troubleshooting, and cost reduction initiatives while ensuring consistent product quality and equipment reliability.

A strong background in electrical engineering, PLC programming, instrumentation engineering, and combustion system analysis is critical for this position. The engineer will collaborate closely with the production, maintenance, and quality assurance teams to ensure that process parameters and equipment performance are optimized to meet operational targets.

Key Responsibilities

Process Audit & Reliability Analysis

Perform comprehensive process audits on steel processing lines (rolling, forging, heat treatment, tempering).

Conduct detailed analysis of furnace gas combustion systems, burner performance, efficiency, and emissions.

Identify process bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and risks related to equipment and instrumentation.

Lead root cause analysis (RCA) and failure mode & effects analysis (FMEA) for critical equipment.

Audit and calibrate instrumentation and sensors critical to temperature control, flow, pressure, and combustion monitoring.

Evaluate and optimize PLC logic, control loops, HMI interfaces, and automation reliability.

Recommend and implement upgrades or retrofits to enhance equipment performance and process control stability.

Lead cross-functional troubleshooting on process deviations, equipment malfunctions, and quality issues.

Develop and implement process optimization strategies to reduce production costs and improve energy efficiency.

Provide engineering support for plant upgrades, new installations, and commissioning of equipment.

Generate comprehensive audit reports, technical evaluations, and improvement action plans.

Maintain accurate process documentation, instrumentation calibration records, and PLC program archives.

Track and report on key performance indicators (KPIs) related to equipment uptime, product quality, energy consumption, and maintenance efficiency.

Work closely with production, maintenance, quality, and engineering teams to drive a culture of continuous improvement.

Provide technical training and coaching on combustion system management, instrumentation best practices, and process control.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, Instrumentation & Control Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field.

Experience

Minimum 5–8 years of experience in process engineering or instrumentation engineering within steel manufacturing or heavy industry (preferably with exposure to rolling, forging, and heat treatment processes).

Proven track record in gas combustion system analysis and optimization for industrial furnaces.

Strong experience in PLC programming (Siemens, Allen Bradley, or similar) and SCADA/HMI systems.

Hands-on expertise in industrial instrumentation (temperature, flow, pressure, gas analyzers).

Demonstrated experience in process troubleshooting, root cause analysis (RCA), and reliability improvement.

Technical Skills

In-depth knowledge of gas combustion systems, burners, air-fuel ratio control, and emissions management.

Strong understanding of steel processing equipment (rolling mills, forging presses, heat treatment furnaces).

Proficient in electrical circuit analysis, instrumentation loop checks, control system diagnostics.

Competent in PLC programming and modification.

Familiarity with data acquisition systems and process data analytics.

Skilled in process modeling, energy optimization, and cost reduction analysis.

Soft Skills

Strong problem-solving and analytical thinking.

Ability to lead cross-functional teams and manage projects.

Excellent communication and reporting skills.

Self-driven with a continuous improvement mindset.

Preferred Qualifications

Diploma or bachelor’s degree in a relevant engineering field.

Professional certifications in Instrumentation Engineering, Automation, or Reliability Engineering.

Six Sigma Green/Black Belt is an advantage.

Experience with World Class Manufacturing (WCM) or Lean Manufacturing methodologies
