Controls & Automation Engineer

Description

Summary: This role involves providing specialized local technical support for high-integrity control systems at customer sites, focusing on commissioning, troubleshooting, and optimization. Highlights: 1. Specialized OEM training provided 2. Support high-integrity control systems 3. Opportunity to optimize PID control loops **Controls \& Automation Engineer** (Local Support – Qatar) **Role Overview:** The selected candidate will undergo specialized training by the OEM, TRI\-SEN, and will provide local technical support for high\-integrity control systems installed at customer sites in Qatar.**Key Responsibilities:*** Perform loop checking from field devices and I/O modules up to the HMI/operator interface. * Perform loop checking from field instruments/terminals into the PLC environment. * Verify communication and functionality with serial interfaces, hardware interfaces, OPC systems, and associated control logic. * Carry out verification from the PLC towards the DCS through Modbus communication. * Assist in commissioning, troubleshooting, testing, and validation of control systems. * Support tuning and optimization of PID control loops, ranging from straightforward loops to more complex applications. * Provide on\-site support during shutdowns, start\-ups, and emergency situations. * Coordinate closely with the OEM engineering team and act as their local extension. **Main Control Platforms:*** Triconex Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS). * Siemens PLC and HMI Systems. **Candidate Requirements:*** Bachelor's Degree in Instrumentation \& Control Engineering, Electrical Engineering (Automation), or Electronics \& Instrumentation Engineering. * Minimum 3–5 years of experience in industrial control and automation systems. * Basic understanding of HMI development and PLC programming. * Experience in loop checking, control logic troubleshooting, commissioning activities, and industrial communication systems. * Hands\-on experience with field\-to\-PLC signal verification and PLC\-to\-DCS integration using Modbus communication is preferred. * Exposure to Oil \& Gas, LNG, Petrochemical, or Power industries is highly desirable. * Familiarity with PID tuning and industrial communication interfaces would be an advantage. * Exposure to Triconex and Siemens systems is highly desirable; however, OEM\-specific training will be provided. * Strong analytical skills, willingness to learn, and the ability to work effectively in high\-responsibility environments.
