- 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
