About the Role

Instrumentation & DCS Engineer

field instruments

Key Responsibilities

Instrumentation & Field Activities

• Monitor, calibrate, troubleshoot, and maintain field instruments such as

  pressure transmitters, temperature transmitters, flow meters, level sensors, control valves, MOVs, vibration sensors, and gas detectors

  .
• Ensure proper functioning and health of instruments installed on

  wellheads, separators, manifolds, heaters, pipelines and ESD systems

  .
• Perform routine checks, daily activity logs, and preventive maintenance of all instrumentation systems.
  
• Coordinate with mechanical and electrical teams to resolve multidisciplinary equipment issues.
  

DCS/PLC Operations & Logic Management

• Monitor process parameters and alarms through the

  DCS

  and take corrective actions based on field conditions.
• Modify DCS

  logic, interlocks, function blocks, control strategies, and alarm configurations

  as per operational requirements.
• Support optimization of control loops (PID tuning etc.) for stable and efficient well pad operations.
  
• Implement changes in

  DCS architecture

  , create/modify tags, and update system documentation.
• Work closely with production and HSE teams to incorporate safety-critical logic changes (ESD, process interlocks, permissives).
  

Operational Support & Compliance

• Support daily operations to ensure continuous

  oil and gas production

  , minimize downtime, and ensure safe running of surface facilities.
• Participate in incident analysis, RCA (Root Cause Analysis), and corrective action implementation.
  
• Ensure compliance with

  OISD

  , safety standards, and company SOPs.
• Prepare daily/weekly instrumentation reports and maintain updated calibration records.
