Requirements
- Provide instrumentation and controls engineering design for I&C and Facility Automation Systems (BAS/BMS/FMS).
- Prepare wiring and raceway routing plans, instrument data sheets, Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs), Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), loop wiring diagrams, PLC/DCS wiring diagrams, instrument installation details, logic diagrams, sequences of operation, HVAC and central utility plant control sequences, and input/output databases.
- Develop and support BAS/BMS system architecture, network topology, and integration strategies.
- Design and implement industrial communication networks including Ethernet, Modbus, Profibus, DeviceNet, BACnet/IP, BACnet MS/TP, wireless telemetry, and fiber networks.
- Perform quality control reviews of sequences of operation, control diagrams, points lists, and commissioning documentation.
- Apply ISA standards and industry best practices to control panel layouts, wiring schematics, conduit routing plans, and instrument plans.
- Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, process, and commissioning teams across multiple offices.
- Interface directly with clients to support project delivery and technical coordination.
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to standards development and process improvements.
- Support proposal reviews, estimating, workload forecasting, and recruiting efforts as needed.
