We are seeking a highly experienced Automation Engineer – ICSS/DCS to join our engineering team for offshore oil \& gas platform projects in the FEED and Detail Design phases. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in ICSS and DCS systems, with a primary focus on system review, engineering coordination, and vendor management rather than hands-on development.

Job Responsibilities:

  • Review ICSS and DCS system architecture, design documents, and engineering deliverables for offshore platforms
  • Ensure compliance with project specifications, client requirements, offshore standards, and international codes (IEC, ISA)
  • Coordinate with multi-disciplinary teams including process, electrical, instrumentation, telecom, and IT engineers
  • Act as a technical interface between clients, EPC contractors, and automation vendors
  • Review vendor documents such as system architecture diagrams, I/O lists, control narratives, and FAT/SAT procedures
  • Monitor vendor progress and conduct technical follow-ups to ensure timely and quality deliverables
  • Support FEED and Detail Design activities through system evaluation and interface management
  • Participate in FAT and SAT reviews, including offshore-specific requirements and constraints
  • Identify design gaps, risks, and inconsistencies, and recommend corrective actions
  • Ensure integration between DCS, SIS, F\&G (Fire \& Gas), and third-party systems
  • Address offshore challenges such as redundancy, system availability, and harsh environmental conditions
  • Participate in technical meetings, design reviews, and HAZOP/HAZID workshops
  • Ensure adherence to project schedules, quality standards, and safety requirements

Key Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Instrumentation, Electrical, Electronics, or related engineering discipline
  • 10–15 years of experience in industrial automation within oil \& gas projects, with offshore platform experience
  • Strong experience with ICSS and DCS systems, including system review and engineering coordination
  • Proven experience working with EPC contractors and automation vendors for offshore projects
  • Good understanding of control system architecture, SIS, F\&G systems, and system integration
  • Familiarity with offshore standards and international codes such as IEC and ISA
  • Experience in FEED and Detail Design phases for offshore projects
  • Strong technical review, coordination, and vendor management skills
  • Understanding of redundancy concepts, network architecture, and high-availability systems
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management abilities in multi-disciplinary environments
