The Opportunity…

• Prepare and review ICA deliverables, including instrument schedules, I/O lists, datasheets, specifications and control system architecture drawings
• Review system integrator Functional Design Specifications (FDS) against the URS and control philosophy
• Attend factory and site acceptance testing for control panels, PLC/HMI software and SCADA, and support commissioning
• Support tender evaluations, bids and scoping of ICA work packages

You will have the opportunity to take ownership of technical delivery and play a key role in how projects are shaped and delivered.
