About the Role
This role ensures that plant automation, monitoring, and protection systems meet all performance, reliability, and safety requirements.
Responsibilities
Design & Engineering
- Develop control philosophies, P&IDs, loop diagrams, and logic diagrams for the synchronous condenser and auxiliary systems (cooling, lube oil, excitation, etc.).
- Specify, size, and select instruments (pressure, temperature, vibration, flow, level) and control equipment such as PLCs, SCADA, and DCS components.
- Prepare detailed I&C engineering documentation: data sheets, I/O lists, cause & effect diagrams, and control narratives.
Project Execution & Integration
- Coordinate with electrical, mechanical, and civil teams to integrate I&C systems.
- Review vendor designs, perform FAT/SAT, and approve control system hardware/software.
- Ensure compliance with IEC/IEEE standards, grid codes, and cyber-security requirements.
