Responsibilities

  • Perform routine maintenance on instrumentation and electrical equipment, including PM/PdM work orders, spare parts verification, and activity reporting using SAP software.
  • Utilize calibration tools such as HART communicators, bench testing equipment, and 4-20 mA signal simulators.
  • Conduct functional tests on Safety Instrumented Systems and Process Safety Interlocks according to international standards and best practices, and perform calibration reports.
  • Use calibration patterns and monitors for various process analyzers (Oxygen, pH, LEL, personal safety monitors).
  • Use electrical meter tools and understand electrical bases for Low Voltage equipment (disconnecting, switching, racking in-out MCCs).
  • Troubleshoot and repair instrumentation and electrical equipment during abnormal activities.
  • Demonstrate skills in troubleshooting instrumentation and electrical equipment.
  • Apply knowledge of principles of operation for process smart instrumentation (pressure, level, temperature, flow, analyzers, nuclear devices) and electrical devices (motors, VFDs, breakers, switchgears, safety devices).
  • Use electrical meters (voltmeters, amp-meters, ohm-meters, megger) for troubleshooting.
  • Read and understand Process and Instrumentation diagrams, loop sheets, control schematics, I-line diagrams, and electrical control circuit diagrams.
  • Utilize knowledge of control process equipment like PLC, DCS, and standalone controllers during troubleshooting.
  • Support commissioning of improvement projects by calibrating instrumentation or verifying loop control signals.
  • Perform field calibration of instrumentation equipment using HART or BRAIN communicators and pneumatic tools for pressure devices.
  • Install instrument tubing.
  • Install conduit of various trade sizes (typically rigid) and accessories.
