Position Purpose

Owns the control system as an owner asset rather than a vendor deliverable, ensuring accountability after the integrator leaves.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the control system architecture, including DCS, PLC, safety instrumented system, historian and network segregation.
• Review, test and accept integrator configuration, graphics, alarms, interlocks and sequences before handover.
• Lead factory acceptance testing and site acceptance testing, and run loop checks and functional testing with the field engineers.
• Configure and rationalize the alarm system so that operators receive an actionable alarm load, not a flood.
• Own control narratives, interlock schedules and cause and effect matrices as controlled documents.
• Set up the historian, batch records and reporting that operations and quality will rely on.
• Establish cybersecurity controls, backup and recovery procedures for control system assets.
• Provide control system support through commissioning, startup and into operations.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in electrical, control, chemical or computer engineering.
• Seven or more years of industrial control system engineering, including at least one greenfield commissioning.
• Hands on configuration experience on a major DCS or PLC platform.
• Working knowledge of functional safety concepts and safety instrumented systems.

Preferred Qualifications

• Batch control experience under ISA 88.
• TUV functional safety certification.
• Historian and manufacturing execution system integration experience.
