• Implement advanced alarm management strategies including Alarm Shelving, Dynamic Alarm Suppression, Alarm Tracker, and nuisance alarm reduction initiatives.
• Lead alarm rationalization efforts aligned with ISA-18.2, IEC 61511, ASM Consortium principles, and API RP 1167 standards.
• Utilize Honeywell Alarm Performance Optimizer and related tools to identify and remediate “bad actor” alarms, chattering alarms, stale alarms, and alarm flooding scenarios.
• Coordinate alarm strategies across integrated process control environments including:
  • Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS)
  • PLCs
  • SCADA systems
  • Tank monitoring systems
  • Pipeline operations
• Generate and present alarm system performance analytics, KPI reporting, and continuous improvement recommendations for plant leadership and operations teams.
• Partner closely with operations, process controls, instrumentation, and engineering teams to improve alarm effectiveness and reduce operator overload during upset conditions.

Required Experience

• 5+ years of hands-on experience supporting Honeywell Experion PKS systems within oil & gas, LNG, refining, petrochemical, or heavy industrial environments.
• Strong experience with:
  • Honeywell C300 Controllers
  • Series C I/O

  • Alarm lifecycle management
• Advanced knowledge of Honeywell alarm management applications and/or third-party rationalization tools such as:
  • Honeywell Alarm Manager
  • DynAMo
  • exida SILAlarm
  • TiPS LogMate
• Strong understanding of industrial process equipment and control strategies including compressors, separators, rotating equipment, and advanced regulatory control systems.
• Deep familiarity with:
  • ISA-18.2
  • IEC 61511
  • ASM Consortium principles
  • Industrial HMI/alarm design best practices

Education

Bachelor’s Degree in:

• Electrical Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering
• Instrumentation Engineering
• Related Engineering Discipline

Preferred Background

• Experience supporting LNG facilities, pipeline operations, gas processing, refining, or petrochemical plants highly preferred.
• Previous experience leading large-scale alarm cleanup or alarm optimization initiatives is a major plus.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to work directly with operations and engineering leadership.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a long-term project supporting a cutting-edge industrial operation focused on operational excellence, process safety, and modernization initiatives.
