Job Summary

annealing furnaces, slitting lines, and cut-to-length machines

• Instrument Management: Maintain, calibrate, and troubleshoot a wide range of essential field instruments, including Temperature Sensors (RTDs, thermocouples), Pressure Transmitters, Flow Meters, Level Sensors, and Proximity/Position Sensors.
• Control Systems: Monitor and maintain sophisticated control systems, including PLCs, SCADA, and HMI interfaces, specifically those integrated with CRGO process equipment.
• Reliability: Work in close coordination with electrical and mechanical maintenance teams to minimize downtime, quickly resolve failures, and support overall production reliability.
  

• Precision Calibration: Plan, manage, and perform routine calibration schedules as per ISO/quality compliance requirements, ensuring maximum accuracy of all sensors and transmitters.
• Documentation: Develop and maintain meticulous documentation, including instrumentation loop diagrams, P&IDs (Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams), and up-to-date calibration records.
• Safety: Ensure strict adherence to all safety standards and protocols during instrumentation work, particularly in high-temperature, high-voltage, and hazardous areas.
  

• Continuous Improvement: Analyze process data and instrument performance to identify and implement areas for improvement in instrumentation accuracy and system reliability.
• Automation Support: Support automation and control improvement initiatives, working collaboratively with OEMs and external system integrators.
• Inventory Control: Manage and maintain a ready inventory of critical instrumentation spares to ensure minimal disruption to production.
  

• Core Knowledge: Strong fundamental understanding of industrial instrumentation, process control theory, and control loop tuning.
• Control Systems Expertise (Hands-On Experience Required):
• PLCs: Experience with major platforms (e.g., Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Schneider).
• Interfaces: Hands-on knowledge of SCADA systems and HMI interfaces.
• Communications: Familiarity with industrial communication protocols (Modbus, Profibus, Ethernet/IP).
• CRGO Equipment Familiarity: Specific experience with instrumentation systems utilized in Bell-type annealing furnaces, Slitting and Decoiling lines, and Cut-to-Length/Stacking machines is a significant advantage.
