Descripción del empleo

The Instrument Engineer at The Friends Overseas Services serves as the lead technical authority for validating the competency of Pakistani instrumentation professionals seeking overseas employment. This role bridges the gap between local technical qualifications and stringent international client requirements in the Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, and Power sectors. The engineer ensures that candidate skill sets align precisely with foreign employer specifications, safeguarding the agency's reputation for supplying verified, deployment-ready technical manpower.

Daily workflows involve conducting hands‑on trade tests on calibration benches (Fluke/Beamex), simulating DCS graphics and alarm management scenarios, and evaluating candidate proficiency in reading P&IDs, loop diagrams, and cause‑and‑effect matrices. The engineer maintains the agency's technical assessment lab inventory, updates question banks for written screening exams per ISA standards, and prepares detailed Technical Competency Reports (TCRs) for client review. Coordination with NAVTTC/TEVTA affiliated institutes for curriculum alignment and PEC registration verification is a routine administrative function.

Selection follows a rigorous Category A pathway: a 100-MCQ written screening examination covering instrumentation fundamentals, safety standards (IEC 61511), and analytical reasoning; merit‑based shortlisting of top scorers; mandatory document verification including attested engineering degrees, PEC registration certificates, and experience letters; and a final Departmental Selection Committee interview comprising a technical oral viva voce and a practical troubleshooting demonstration on a simulated process loop.

Key duties and responsibilities:

• Design and administer practical trade testing protocols for Instrument Technician and Engineer candidates targeting GCC and European markets
• Evaluate candidate proficiency in DCS/PLC configuration, loop checking, and Safety Instrumented System (SIS) logic verification
• Calibrate and certify the agency's in‑house laboratory standards (pressure calibrators, temperature baths, multifunction process calibrators) traceable to national standards
• Interpret foreign employer technical requisitions to develop customized competency frameworks and interview scorecards
• Conduct technical pre‑departure orientation sessions covering lock‑out‑tag‑out (LOTO), permit‑to‑work (PTW), and hazardous area equipment inspection
• Audit and verify authenticity of candidate experience certificates against project scopes, equipment tags, and international project databases
