About The Position

The Project Instrumentation Engineer provides engineering support for new projects, including instrumentation selection, valve sizing, process analysis, P&ID development, equipment and line sizing, completion of instrument and instrument data sheets, interpretation of project specifications, and economic analysis.

The role performs conceptual engineering and design of oil and gas equipment and instrumentation and defines project scopes of work for project execution. It applies process, electrical, and instrumentation engineering capabilities to evaluate, develop, model, and optimize ideas supporting capital projects and operational issues. The engineer also evaluates technical feasibility for business development opportunities, works with stakeholders and subject matter experts to define project scopes, reports technical findings, interfaces with external engineering service providers, and develops proficiency with process simulation and instrument selection/design software.

The position is fully in person in a normal office environment, with occasional visits to shop environments that may involve exposure to dust, dirt, and forklift traffic. The work involves frequent sitting and computer use, plus some travel between company locations and for vendor or client contact. Limited travel is expected, and project commissioning may be required as needed; travel is stated as less than 5%.
